PCM Drum Kit (PCMD)
62
Parameter Value Explanation
Partial Rx Hold-1 OFF, ON
For each drum partial, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).
NOTE
If “NO-SUS” is selected for Partial Env Mode parameter (p. 61), this setting will have no eect.
One Shot Mode OFF, ON
The sound will play back until the end of the waveform (or the end of the envelope, whichever
comes rst).
The result will be the same as when the envelope’s Partial Env Mode parameter is set to “NO-SUS.”
Wave tab
Wave 1–4 Switch OFF, ON Turns the wave on/o.
Wave Group
INT,
Ex01–
(if expansion sound Waves exist)
Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the drum partial.
INT: Internal sound bank
Ex01–: Expansion sound banks
Wave No.L (Mono)
OFF, 1–
This selects the Waves comprising the drum partial. Along with the Wave number, the Wave name
appears at the lower part of the display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specied. When in stereo, the right side (R) is also
specied.
Wave No.R
Wave Gain -6, 0, +6, +12 dB
Sets the gain (amplication) of the waveform.
The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain.
Wave Tempo Sync OFF, ON
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to “ON.”
This is available only if there are expansion sounds and you’ve selected a waveform that indicates
the tempo (BPM).
If a waveform of an expansion sound is selected for the partial, turning Wave Tempo Sync “ON”
disables pitch-related settings and FXM-related settings.
Phrase Loop
“Phrase Loop” refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s been pulled out of a song (e.g.,
by using a sampler). One technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase
from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new
song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
Wave FXM Switch OFF, ON
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specied waveform to apply frequency modulation to
the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic
sounds or sound eects.
Wave FXM Color 1–4
Species how FXM will perform frequency modulation.
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.
Wave FXM Depth 0–16
Species the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
NOTE
When the Wave Tempo Sync is set to “ON,” settings related to Pitch (p. 63) and FXM are disabled.
Wave Coarse Tune -48–+48
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
MEMO
The Coarse Tune of the entire drum partial is set by the Partial Coarse Tune (p. 63).
Wave Fine Tune -50–+50
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
* One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
MEMO
The Fine Tune of the entire drum partial is set by the Partial Fine Tune (p. 63).
Wave Level 0–127
You can set the volume of the waveform.
MEMO
The volume level of each drum partial is set with the Partial Level; the volume levels of the
entire drum kit is set with the Drum Kit Level (p. 61).
Wave Pan L64–63R
This species the pan of the waveform.
“L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is far right.
Wave Random Pan Sw OFF, ON
Use this setting to cause the waveform’s panning to change randomly each time a key is pressed
(ON) or not (OFF).
* The range of the panning change is set by the Random Pan Depth (p. 66).
Wave Alter Pan Sw OFF, ON, REVS
This setting causes panning of the waveform to be alternated between left and right each time a
key is pressed. Set Alter Pan Sw to “ON” to pan the Wave according to the Alter Pan Depth settings,
or to “REVS” when you want the panning reversed. If you do not want the panning to change each
time a key is pressed, set this to “OFF.”
