The grid pad corresponding to the currently selected Patch will be illuminated white and the

others will be orange (Drums 1 and 2) or yellow (Drums 3 and 4). The default Drum Patches are

summarised in the table below:

Drum Patch No. Page No. Patch

1 1 1 Default page for

Drums 1 & 2

Kick

2 17 1 Snare

3 33 2 Default page for

Drums 3 & 4

Hi-hat (closed)

4 37 2 Hi-hat (open)

To select a different Patch, press its pad. The selected drum track (1 to 4) will now adopt the

sound dened by the new Patch. You can change Patch while a pattern is running, though the

transition may not be absolutely smooth, depending on the point in the pattern when the pad

is pressed. Changing the Patch of a saved pattern does not alter the Patch that was originally

saved with the pattern, unless the session is re-saved.

Using the Macros for drum design

You can use the Macro controls

to tweak drum sounds in the same way as you can with

synth sounds. Unlike the synth Macros, the functions are xed for drums, but the actual sonic

nature of moving the knobs will vary greatly with the drum Patch being used. As with the synth

sounds, we recommend that you load different drum sounds and experiment with the Macros to

hear what they can do.

Because the drum tracks are arranged in pairs, the odd-numbered Macro controls affect the

odd-numbered tracks (i.e., Drum 1 or Drum 3) and the even-numbered controls affect

Drums 2 or 4.
