Introduction Introduction Overview of the SPD-SX PRO (wave/kit/system) What is a wave? The sounds that play when you strike the pads are called “waves”. The sounds that you sample, as well as the sounds you import from a USB flash drive or from your computer are stored in this unit as waves. You can play two waves at the same time (LAYER A, LAYER B) from a single pad. What’s a kit? A “kit” is a collection of settings for nine pads, eight external pads and two footswitches.
Introduction Customizing a kit (KIT EDIT 1)(P.40) Configuring the Overall Kit (KIT EDIT2)(P.69) *1: The master effect, master comp and master EQ are system settings. These settings can’t be made for individual kits. What does “system” refer to? The parts of the settings related to this product overall are referred to as the “system”.
