RD-7 Real Drum Module
The RD-7 is a stereo drum module with more than 100 drum sounds plus a full set of GM-compatible percussion. Drums are mapped in GM
standard mapping (from A#0-C5), featuring mixable overhead and room mics, plus special pre-programmed FX per kit. Drum sounds are easily
auditioned, assigned, and edited by first clicking a key on the stylized keyboard at the bottom of the instrument (toms, hats, crashes, and rides
are handled as sets).
Edit Select
Use this menu or click a pad/key on the keyboard to choose the sound or set you wish to edit. Clicking a pad/key also auditions the currently
selected sound.
Sound Select
