Managing Songs
The SDRUM can store up to 36 songs with up to 3 parts each. Songs are automatically stored in real time. The
following sections describe how to create, load, copy, and clear songs.
WARNING: To ensure that song data is not unexpectedly lost, always stop SDRUM playback and wait at least
5 seconds, without making any song changes, before powering down the pedal.
The following parameters are stored in the SDRUM:
• Song data
• Last user interface settings before power down
• Last used FS3X Footswitch mode
Creating a New Song
To create a new song:
1. Press the SONG button to enter song mode. The SONG LED will begin flashing green and the current song
selection will be indicated with a brightly lit LED around the HATS/RIDES encoder. All other LEDs will turn
off except for the SONG button and HATS/RIDES LEDs when song mode is active.
2. Turn the HATS/RIDES encoder to select an empty song (empty songs are indicated by an LED that is not
yet lit).
TIP: Continue turning the HATS/RIDES encoder beyond the 12 and 1 selections to toggle through the
three song banks: bank 1 (green LEDs), bank 2 (amber LEDs), and bank 3 (red LEDs).
3. Press the SONG button or HATS/RIDES knob to confirm the selection and exit song mode.

the user interface will light to indicate the selected options for the song.
