Editing the Rhythm Part of a Style (Drum Setup)
The explanations here apply to step 5 of the Basic Procedure on
page 19
. The Rhythm parts of a preset Style consist of
a preset Drum Kit, and each drum sound is assigned to a separate note. You may want to change the sound and the

above. Higher values result in a more pronounced effect.
Attack
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The
higher the value, the quicker the attack.
Decay 1
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than max-
imum). The higher the value, the quicker the decay.
Decay 2
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The higher the
value, the quicker the decay.
NEXT PAGE
In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)
