Drum kit: This section loads drum kits (collections of different drum
instruments) and the individual drum instruments.
Selected drum instrument: The settings in the synthesis section (6) and
velocity/automation (5) always affect the selected drum instrument.
Pattern editor: Programs the beat sequence. In the top part, different
patterns (sequences) can be loaded and saved as well as different settings
for the view and function of the pattern editor. The matrix is where the
beat is programmed: One line corresponds to a drum instrument, and a
column matches a specific time position within 1-4 beats. If a cell is
clicked on, then the respective drum instrument will be triggered at this
position.
Velocity/Control: This section has two modes: Velocity and Automation.
The setting Velocity displays the velocity levels for the selected
instrument's beats as a column. The Automation set up allows automation
to be set for sound parameters in the synthesis section (6).
Synthesis: The selected sound parameters and effects settings for the
selected drum instrument can be edited here.
