PCM Drum Kit (PCMD)
TONE EDIT (PCMD)
Each kit has 88 sets (Partial 1–88) of WAVE, TVF, and TVA settings, in addition to multi-eect (MFX) settings.
Each partial has four wave generators. You can assign a dierent note number that will sound each of the 88 partials.
For the one part specied by the Drum Comp+EQ Assign setting, you’ll be able to use six sets of compressor + equalizer units to make the sound more
consistent or to adjust the tonal character.

MEMO
The volume levels of the partials from which the drum kit is composed is set with the Partial
Level parameter (p. 65). The volume levels of the Waves from which the drum partial is composed
is set with the Wave Level parameter (p. 62).
Partial Name 12 characters
You can assign a name of up to 12 characters to the drum partial.
By pressing [ENTER], you can assign a name to the drum partial.
Assign Type MULTI, SINGLE
Assign Type sets the way sounds are played when the same key is pressed a number of times.
MULTI: Layer the sound of the same keys. Even with continuous sounds where the sound plays for
an extended time, such as with crash cymbals, the sounds are layered, without previously played
sounds being eliminated.
SINGLE: Only one sound can be played at a time when the same key is pressed. With continuous
sounds where the sound plays for an extended time, the previous sound is stopped when the
following sound is played.
Mute Group OFF, 1–31
On an actual acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound can never occur
simultaneously. To reproduce the reality of this situation, you can set up a Mute Group.
The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more drum partials that are not allowed
to sound simultaneously. Up to 31 Mute Groups can be used. Drum partials that are not belong to
any such group should be set to “OFF.”
Partial Env Mode NO-SUS, SUSTAIN
When a loop waveform is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed.
If you want the sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to “NO-SUS.”
* If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUSTAIN.”
Partial Pitch Bend Range 0–48
Species the amount of pitch change in semitones (4 octaves) that will occur when the Pitch Bend
Lever is moved. The amount of change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left
and right sides.
Partial Rx Expression OFF, ON
For each drum partial, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not
(OFF).
