The Menu Pages:
When you are in the SET-menu you can determine with the keys of the Sirius keyboard which of the
12 different percussion instruments you want to edit. Apart from an overall view of the percussion
section, the above diagram also shows you the order of the instruments on the keyboard. Just press
one key briefly and the relevant instrument is selected for editing and appears in the display.
The letter on the top right of the display shows you which key and therefore which instrument you
have chosen to edit.
On page one of the menu you can select the basic sound (waveform) for the instrument.
For the above example we have basic waveform 22 "808HiTom" selected. Turn the VALUE/TEMPO-
dial and 256 different basic waveforms are available to you ranging from different drum instruments
to exotic percussion and electronic effects.
