3. After choosing what track you want to change, use [LEFT] and [RIGHT] to choose
between the SYNTH, MACHINE and RELATE columns. [LEFT] and [RIGHT] are also
used for selecting MUTE/TRIG POS focus in the RELATE column. Once you have
entered a column, it will be highlighted and now you can use [UP] and [DOWN] to
choose from the available options.
Select the MD-synth by first selecting the SYNTH column with the [LEFT] and [RIGHT]
keys. Then move the focus using [UP] and [DOWN] to select the MD-synth of your
choice.
4. When you are satisfied with your choice, press [
RIGHT] once to move the focus to the
MACHINE column. Select the machine using [UP] and [DOWN].
5. Finally you need to press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your selection. This will load
the machine with every value set to default.
• If you want to load a machine and keep the previous settings of the TRACK
EFFECT and ROUTING pages, hold [FUNCTION] while pressing the [ENTER/YES]
key.
• You can preview sounds without loading them. While in the EDIT KIT menu, make
s
ure that the <RECORD> LED is not lit and that the focus is on the MACHINE col-
umn. Then press the [TRIG] key corresponding to the active track. You will now
hear the default sound of the chosen machine.
• The MD-synth and the machine currently selected are shown as inverted text. The
focus, when moved away from the original selection, is a square window. Once
[ENTER/YES] is pressed, the current focus will be selected, thus changing the
focus to inverted text.
SETTING MUTE AND TRIG RELATIONS OF A KIT
Mute groups are useful for interleaving drums such as open and closed hi-hats. Trig groups
can be used for making layered drums, consisting of two drums on different tracks that are
triggered by one drum trig only.
