Assigning Voices to Individual Pads and Saving to a
Custom Kit
The instrument contains a total of 99 high quality drum Voices (see the “Voice List” on page 19)—and you can
assign these freely to each of the four pads and a pedal. Try assigning some different Voices and save your
own “CU” Custom Drum Kits.
NOTE
• Any data assigned to the Custom Kit will be replaced by factory default values (“1”) when the power is turned off.
•Custom Kit “CU” and Drum Kit “1” contents are the same until modified (see the “Drum Kit List” on page 20).
• Any changes made to one of the preset Drum Kits will automatically be saved in the “CU” Custom Drum Kit.
