Ports – MIDI OUT
MIDI OUT (analog)
USB OUT (digital)
An example when a deviation from the internal key assignments of the G9 might be necessary is the
fact that some manufacturers use a shifted key setup internally (e.g. assignment starts at a different
octave of the keyboard). To make these devices compatible with each other, one them needs to
change its external key assignment, otherwise the units would address other programs than the
intended. Please refer to the MIDI implementation available for the devices you want to interact
with and find out whether a change in key values is necessary.
9.3 MODULE 3
9.3.1 MIX / EFFECT SENDS
This function set controls the volume of the individual pad components and provides global controls
to mix adjustments made in the Effects mode with the dry sound of the sample. You can also turn on
and off each module of the Effects Mode. This way you don´t have to switch to the Effects Mode to
access important, global controls. Consequently, all edits in values of slider positions and switches
must be stored in the active drum kit, otherwise they would be discarded when changing the drum
kit.
9.3.1.1 VOLUME (COMPONENT)
This volume slider affects the volume of the currently active pad component in the Instrument Select
function set in module 2 of this mode. Here you can adjust the volume of the pad components in
relation to each other whereas the Mixer (see section 8.2.2 Mixer on p.27) globally raises or lowers the
volume of this relationship.
9.3.1.2 PANNING (INPUT CHANNEL)
As opposed to the Volume, Panning affects the active pad in the function set Channel Select as a
whole. As a result, you pan all components at the same time. This is useful to create a surround feel
of your kit. The Low Tom for instance might have dominance on the right-hand side of the Speak-
ers/Headphones, as it sits on the right-hand side of the acoustic drum kit. Thus, in your right ear it will
be perceived louder than in the left ear. The Snare on the other hand is in the center of the kit and
tends to a panning value of C (Center). If you have set up your kit like a left-handed player this holds
true for the opposite side. Panning contributes to replicating the acoustic environment behind the
drum kit – the player´s perspective.
