• The Assign note field:

The Assign note and Sound field work together to assign sounds to MIDI

note numbers. To assign a sound, first select the note number to be

assigned (35–98) in the Assign note field. Then select the desired sound

for that note number in the Sound field. You can also select a note

number by pressing one of the drum pads—the note number currently

assigned to that pad will be selected automatically. (To change the MIDI

note number assignments for each pad, press the MIDI key and select

option 1.)

For convenience, the pad number currently assigned to the

selected note number is displayed to its right. (If no pad is currently

assigned to the note number, then [--] is displayed.)

• The Sound field:

This field contains the sound assignment for the note number selected

above. This is a choice field containing an alphabetical list of all sounds

currently in memory, or OFF. If a sound is stereo, the name if followed by

“(ST)”.

• The Mode field:

This is a choice field with four options:

1. NORMAL:

Only the sound in the Sound field plays when the selected

MIDI note number is received. The screen appears as below:

============ Select Program ===========A

Active program: 8-PROGRAM NAME

========== Assign Note:37/A03 ==========

Sound:Tiny_tom Mode:NORMAL

General MIDI name for note:SIDE STICK

========================================

<Play>

If this option is selected, the fifth line will contain the field

General MIDI name for note. This non-editable field shows

the instrument name in the General MIDI standard for the

selected MIDI note number. If you want your custom

programs to be compatible with the General MIDI standard,

then select sound assignments that are of the same

instrument type as shown in this field.

2. SIMULT (Simultaneous):

This option allows up to two additional sounds to play

automatically whenever the note number specified in the Note

field is received—useful for creating layered sounds. If this

option is selected, the fifth and sixth lines appear as follows:

1 2 ... 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 ... 240 241
