• By editing a drum setup, you can indirectly modify the drum voice. • The Drum Setup Edit menu will appear in the 4 and 5 positions in the bottom line, only if Drum Setup (Drum S1, Drum S2) is selected as the Voice Category. • If the same drum setup is selected for two or more parts, editing one drum setup will cause the other to be modified simultaneously. • Unlike normal voices, drum voices have a special structure in which different waves are assigned to each note C -1- C5. Also, each note to which a wave form is assigned is referred to as an instrument, and various parameters can be set for each instrument. • The types of instrument which are assigned to each note will depend on the drum kit. For the arrangements of each drum kit, refer to the separate "QY700 Reference Listings". • When you change drum kits, all instrument settings will be initialized. When editing a drum setup, you must first select the drum kit, and then select an instrument and set its parameters. • Of these parameters, the filter and EG parameters are relative adjustments to the voice which function by adding the specified value to the original value of the voice. Parameters other than these modify the voice by overwriting the original values of the voice. 1. Press v. w The indicator located above v will light, and you will enter Voice mode. 2.
