Customizing a kit (KIT EDIT 1)

Parameter
Value
Explanation
SW (MONO): Basically the same as SWITCH, but only the most recent sound that LAYER
A/B plays is heard (monophonic mode), so that newer sounds you play override the
previous ones.
ALTERNATE: Layers A and B play back alternately.
HI-HAT: Use this in conjunction with the HH CTRL pedal. When you depress the HH CTRL
pedal, the layer A (HH CLOSE) sound plays.
When you release the HH CTRL pedal, the layer B (HH OPEN) sound plays. Assign the HH
closed sound to layer A and the HH open sound to layer B.
Fade Point
1–127
Sets the force of the strike at which layer B begins to sound. With a “1” setting, layer B
plays regardless of how hard you strike the pad.
This is only enabled when Layer Type = FADE1, FADE2, XFADE, SWITCH or SW (MONO).
Fade End
1–127
Sets the end point of the fade or crossfade range when the Layer Type is “FADE2” or
“XFADE”.
LAYER A/B
Parameter
Value
Explanation
Loop
OFF, ON, X2, X4, X8

Trigger Type
ONESHOT, ALTERNATE

ONE SHOT: The wave sounds each time you strike the pad.
ALTERNATE: The wave alternately sounds and stops with each strike of the pad.
Poly/Mono
POLY, MONO
Sets whether the waves play in polyphonic or monophonic mode.
POLY: When a sound is already playing, the new sound plays on top of it.
MONO: When a sound is already playing, the new sound overrides it.
