6.4 Tuning the drums

Each of the 32 drums may be independently tuned over a 1 1/2 octave

range, in .1 semitone increments. In addition to being very useful in

adjusting the tone of a drum, some spectacular special effects can be created

by tuning a sound by a large amount.

To tune the drums, press the SOUNDS key, then type 3 to select the

TUNE DRUMS option, and the following screen will appear:

This screen is used to adjust the tuning of any of the drums. The range is

from "-120" (one octave down) to "+60" (one half octave up), adjustable in

increments of. 1 semitone. No tuning change is indicated by +0. If the

BANK 2 light is ON, the 2nd bank of drums is displayed. A description of

each of the screen fields and soft keys follows:

• The PRC1 through BASS fields:

These are the current tuning settings for the first 16 drums. If the BANK 2

light is ON, the second bank of drums, DRO1 - DR16, is displayed. To

change the tuning, press the desired drum's pad or move the cursor to the

desired drum field and change the setting using the DATA CONTROL or

NUMERIC KEYPAD. To change from + to -, turn the DATA

CONTROL to the left until negative numbers appear; to change from - to

+, turn the DATA CONTROL to the right until positive numbers appear.

• The MODE field:

This field has two options: SEQUENCE and MASTER. described

below:

1. SEQUENCE:

Each of the 99 sequences has its own set of tuning settings which

is saved when the sequence is saved to disk. If SEQUENCE is

selected here, this set of sequence tunings is used. This is useful if

you want the tuning settings of all drums to automatically change

as you select different sequences.
