10. KITS AND SOUNDS
30
PERF shows which performance macro is edited. Use [ARROW] keys [UP] and [DOWN] to select
another performance macro to edit.
LOCKS shows the number of parameter locks assigned to the performance macro. This figure will
only change by adding or removing parameter locks (see below).
<CLEAR> clears all parameter locks assigned to the performance macro that you edit. Press [YES]
when this option is highlighted to clear the macro.
<CLEAR ALL> clears all parameter locks on all the 12 performance macros. Press [YES] when this
option is highlighted to clear all macros.
While keeping the pad pressed, various parameters can be locked to the macro by turning the DATA
ENTRY knobs. Any parameter, from any of the 13 tracks, can be locked to the macro. Choose the drum
tracks from which the parameter locks will be assigned by pressing [TRK] + [PADS]. If parameters from
the FX track are to be locked to the macro, press the [FX] key. The parameters available for modulation
and macro assignation will be visible on the screen.
When a macro is edited, the pads of drum tracks containing parameter locks will glow half-bright red and
flicker. The active track, from which parameter locks are currently set, will glow full-bright red and flicker.
If a macro contains FX track parameter locks, the [FX] key will flicker while editing. When a pad contain-
ing a performance macro is pressed during edit, parameter locks are shown with inverted graphics and
their modulation depth values (provided the particular track, and the particular parameter page where
the locked parameter is located, is active) are also shown.
A total of 48 dierent parameters may be locked to any of the 12 performance macros, in any combina-
tion, for each kit. For example, 48 parameter locks may be used for a single macro, two macros may use
24 parameter locks each, four macros may use, say, 2, 4, 10 and 32 parameter locks, and so on.
• While the process of editing a performance macro is similar to editing a scene, the
parameter locks have a completely dierent functionality. Whereas scene mode locks
are fixed values, performance mode locks are modulation depth settings.
• If, for example, the TUN parameter on the SRC parameter page of the BD track is
locked to a value of +24, the performance macro will, when engaged, perform a
relative increase of the TUN setting of the track Sound between 0 and +24, depend-
ing on the amount of pressure applied to the pad to which the performance macro is
assigned. 0 if no pressure is applied, 12 if medium pressure is applied and 24 if maxi-
mum pressure is applied.
• If the TUN parameter is locked to a value of -24 instead, no pressure will produce a
relative value decrease of 0, medium pressure -12 and maximum pressure -24.
• Note that the oset is relative to the general TUN (or any other) parameter setting: if
the general setting is 30, a parameter lock with a modulation depth of +24 is set, and
maximum pressure is applied to the pad which contains the performance macro, the
resulting value will be +54.
The macro of each pad can be copied, pasted to another pad or cleared using [FUNC] + [RECORD]/
[STOP]/[PLAY], respectively. PERFORMANCE mode settings are stored to the active kit. Remember to
save the kit regularly with [YES] + [PLAY MODE].
Once the editing is done, simply press the [PERF] key again to exit edit mode. The parameter locks
you entered will be activated whenever the pad containing the performance macro is pressed, provided
PERFORMANCE mode (but not performance edit) is active. The relative modulation depth of all locked
parameters will respond to the amount of pressure applied to the pad.
10.4.2 QUICK PERFORMANCE
Quick performance gives you the possibility to control one of your performance macros without being in
PERFORMANCE mode. Press [QPER] + [PADS] or [QPER] + [TRIG 1–12] keys to select which perfor-
mance macro you want to control with Quick performance. The [PADS] and the [TRIG 1–12] keys cor-
relate to the 12 performance macros you have at your disposal. For more information, please see “10.4.1
