Reference Drum Kit Mode [DRUM KIT] Setting Other Parameters [SF4] OTHER From this display, you can set parameters such as Mono/ Poly and Alternate Group. This display consists of two pages, which can be called up via the Cursor [N] and [M] buttons. The first page when the INPUT display is called up: 4 1 2 3 The first page when the SOURCE display is called up: 4 1 2 3 The first page when the SOURCE display is called up and "MIDI" is selected: 4 1 2 3 1 Mono/Poly When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter determines the playback of each selected Trigger Input Jack, mono or polyphonic. When the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter determines the playback of each selected Trigger Input Source, mono or polyphonic. If "Mono" is selected, hitting the same pad repeatedly in succession will stop the sound generated by the previous hit, then start the same sound again. If "Poly" is selected, this limitation does not apply. Settings mono, poly NOTE • In the INPUT display, an asterisk (*) will appear when the value set at each Trigger Input source is different from this parameter. B AltGroup (Alternate Group) When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter determines the Alternate Group to which each selected Trigger Input Jack is assigned. When the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter determines the Alternate Group to which each selected Trigger Input Source is assigned. In a real acoustic drum kit, some drum sounds cannot physically be played simultaneously, such as open and closed hihats. You can prevent Drum Voices from playing back simultaneously by assigning them to the same Alternate Group. Up to 127 Alternate Groups can be defined. You can also select "off" here if you wish to allow the simultaneous playback of sounds. Settings off, HHOpen, HHClose, 1 - 124 NOTE • Concerning the Drum Voices assigned to the same number (1 - 124) of the Alternate Group, only one of these Voices will be played back following the last-hitting priority. Concerning the Drum Voices assigned to the "HHOpen" and "HHClose," a special rule (below) is applied. • Playing the Voice assigned to "HHOpen" will not stop the sound of the Voice assigned to "HHOpen" or "HHClose." Playing the Voice assigned "HHClose" will stop the sound of the Voice assigned to "HHOpen". • In the INPUT display, an asterisk (*) will appear when the value set at each Trigger Input source is different from this parameter. C RcvKeyOff (Receive Key Off) When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter determines whether or not each selected Trigger Input Jack responds to MIDI Note Off messages. When the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter determines whether or not each selected Trigger Input Source responds to MIDI Note Off messages. This parameter is normally set to off since the sounds of many Drum Voices naturally decay and stop without the need for Note Off messages. This parameter should be set to on when the current Drum Voice has a sustained, non-decaying sound, so that you can stop the sound by sending MIDI note off messages to the internal tone generator. The timing the MIDI note off message is transmitted to the internal tone generator is determined by the Gate Time parameter in the STK/ALT display. You can also use the Hold Mode parameter to control MIDI Note Off messages (page 94). Settings off, on NOTE • In the INPUT display, an asterisk (*) will appear when the value set at each Trigger Input source is different from this parameter.
