CYMB 1: E4 = bell, F4 bow, F#4 = edge, (G4) = choke function
The four MIDI notes are grouped together and can not (!) be changed individually. Only the first MIDI note
can be edited (see page 52). The other MIDI notes are linked to the first note. The notes are always
successive half-steps. If e.g., the MIDI note of the Drum Channel CYMB 1 (see example above) is changed
from E4 to G4, the MIDI notes of the other zones automatically change accordingly.
CYMB 1: G4 = bell, G#4 = bow, A4 = edge, (A#4) = choke function
Please make sure that there is no overlap with other channel settings.
Zone
Similar to an acoustic instrument that sounds different depending on where it is played, there are sound
areas, called zones, which, depending on the type of drum channel (e.g. TOM, CYMB), have different
sounds assigned to. The various types of Pads feature in turn playing areas (zones), corresponding to the
respective (sound) zones.
Please note that you may not be able to use all of the sounds when you connect a pad in which the playing
zones do not match the zones of the drum channel. For example, if you use a tom pad on a CYMBAL
channel, you will not be able to trigger all sounds.
Trigger-Channel PERC 1 to PERC 5
To edit a PERC Channel, you have to hold the MORE button while you press the TRIG button
If there is no sound assigned to a PERC channel, the rim sound of the associated trigger channel is used
automatically.
