THE SOUND SYNTHESIS OF MACHINEDRUM

1. In the EDIT KIT menu, move the focus using the [

LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys to the

RELATE column. [LEFT] and [RIGHT] are also used for selecting the MUTE/TRIG POS

focus.

2. The mute relation is used for interleaving drums, such as open and closed hi-hats which

re supposed to stop the sound of each other when played. Use the [UP] and [DOWN]

keys to select which track is muted when the current machine is triggered.

3. The trigger relation is used for layering sounds. It can either be used to make a sound

richer or to combine two entirely different machines to make a new type of percussion.

Use [LEFT] and [RIGHT] to move to the TRIG POS position. Use the [UP] and [DOWN]

keys to select which track will be played in addition to the current when it is trigged. Con-

firm the selection by pressing the [ENTER/YES] key

• You can not use TRIG relations in a chain. If the bass drum is set to trigger the

snare, and the snare is set to trigger the cymbal, only the bassdrum and snare will

be played when the bass drum is triggered.

• Layering is a very powerful way to expand the sound palette of the SPS-1 MKII/

SPS-1UW MKII. Try using filtering to obtain the low frequency characteristics from

one sound and combine it with the higher frequencies from another. This is espe-

cially useful when creating new and interesting bass drum sounds.

COPY MACHINE

You can copy one machine and its settings from one track to another. It is also possible to

copy the current machine and its settings to another kit.
