[REG] Registration Memory

You can register a variety of settings to these buttons, and then call them up at any time with a single touch. This is called the Registration Memory function. Registered settings can be saved to a Registration Memory Bank of four buttons.

Lamp states of the Registration Memory buttons

For the [I]–[IV] buttons, the lamp state indicates the registration state of the setting described below.

  Off: No setting is registered for this button.

  Blue: A setting is registered for this button.

  Red: A setting is registered for this button, and it was the last button registered/triggered.

  Red, blinking temporarily: A setting has just been registered for this button.

Registering the current settings in Registration Memory

1. Press and hold a button ([I]–[IV]) until the LCD screen indicates that registration is complete.

When the current setting is registered, the button that is pressed will blink red for a few moments and then remain a steady red. In addition, on the top screen of Registration Memory Bank Mode, an [E] appears to the right of the Registration Memory Bank number.

NOTICE

  Settings that you have registered in a Registration Memory will be lost if you select a different Registration Memory Bank. If you do not want to lose those settings, be sure to save the Registration Memory Bank.

  The edited state of the currently selected Registration Memory Bank is maintained when the power is turned off, even if it has not been saved as a User Registration Memory Bank. See this page for details about which items have their settings maintained even when the power is turned off.

I

With the effect preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, [KIT]KitEditReverbType is set to “06 Hall.”

II

With the effect preset Kit “P32 BeatBoxPine” selected, [KIT]KitEditVariationType is set to “19 DynFlanger.”

With the effect preset Kit “P05 R&B” selected, [KIT]KitEditVariationType is set to “10 TempoDelay2 D.”

IV

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, [KIT]VoiceEditTuning and [KIT]VoiceEditDecay are set for an appropriate effect. The first item is used to simulate changes to drum tunings and cymbal diameter. The second item is used mainly to simulate drum muting and half-open hi-hats.

P02

PadIdea

I

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, Note Repeat, Link, and Velocity Limits are set for an appropriate effect.

By setting Pads S1 and A4 in the same Link Group ([KIT]PadEditLinkGroup) and setting separate Velocity Limit ranges for each ([KIT]PadEditVelLow and [KIT]PadEditVelHigh), the Snare Open Rim (the Voice assigned to A4) will be generated only if either Pad is hit hard.

In addition, by setting the A1–A3 RGB Square Pads to the same Link Group and setting different Note Repeat Rates for each ([KIT]PadEditNoteRepRat), you can create interesting sounds for the snare drum.

II

With the preset Kit “P05 R&B” selected, Note Repeat, Hold Mode, and Choke are set for an appropriate effect.

The Note Repeat Rate ([KIT]PadEditNoteRepRat) for Hi-hat Close can be varied by hitting the A1–A8 RGB Square Pads.

In addition, various beats can be created by combining the K, S1, S2, R1, R2, M1, and M2 Pads.

III

With preset Kit “P47 SE&VocalEast” selected, the functions when the Pads are hit ([KIT]PadEditNoteFunc) are set for an appropriate effect.

The A1 RGB Square Pad can be used to turn off all Voices currently sounding (AllSoundOff), and A2 can be used to choke the sound of the Kit (KitChoke).

IV

With preset Kit “P25 EDM Yellow” selected, the functions when the Pads are pressed further ([KIT]PadEditATFunc) are set for an appropriate effect. Various expressions can be achieved with Note Repeats by pressing the A5–A8 RGB Square Pads while pressing A1–A4.

P03

TriggerIdea

I

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, the preset Trigger “P01 Normal Tx” has been adjusted for this setting.

To make beat performance more stable, set the velocity curve to “Loud2” for Pad K only. Velocity is also fixed by setting [MENU]TriggerNoteVelFixVal to “110” for the A2, A3, A5, and A7 RGB Square Pads.

II

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, the preset Trigger “P01 Normal Tx” has been adjusted for this setting.

The values in [MENU]TriggerNoteVelMax and [MENU]TriggerAfterTouchATMax for Pad S2 have been set smaller to facilitate ghost notes on the snare drum.

III

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, the preset Trigger “P01 Normal Tx” has been adjusted for this setting. As the value for [MENU]TriggerA/D Gain grows larger, greater output will be generated with less power.

IV

With the preset Kit “P01 Maple” selected, the preset Trigger “P01 Normal Tx” has been adjusted for this setting.

All Pads are set to the same snare tone, and [MENU]TriggerNoteVelCurve and [MENU]TriggerAfterTouchATCurve are set to different curves for each Pad. Compare the differences between the curves.
