Assignment
Alternate Group
Settings: off, 001 — 127
This determines the group assignment of
the selected drum sound. Drums assigned
to the same group cannot be sounded si-
multaneously. In other words, if one drum
in a group is sounding while a second in
the same group is played, the first drum
sound will be cut off and the second will
sound.
HINT
The main use for this parameter is in creating
realistic hi-hat sounds. By assigning an open
hi-hat and a closed hi-hat to the same group,
you can “choke” or stop the open hi-hat
sound by simply playing the closed hi-hat —
just like pressing the pedal on an actual hi-
hat set. Refer to the Drum Map lists in the
“Sound List & MIDI Data” booklet to see what
other drum sounds are used in this way.
Multi Edit Mode
Note On/Off Parameters
Receive Note On (RcvNoteOn)
Settings: on, off
This determines how the selected drum
sound responds to MIDI Note On messages.
Normally, this should be set to on so that
the corresponding drum sound plays when
a MIDI Note On message is received. Set
this to off when you want to keep the se-
lected drum sound from playing.
Receive Note Off
Settings: on, off
This determines how the selected drum
sound responds to MIDI Note Off mes-
sages. When this is set to on, the selected
sound will stop in response to the corre-
sponding MIDI Note Off message. An on
setting is good for some sustained sounds
(like a whistle), whose duration you want
to control or for key-controlled cymbal
“chokes.” For most drum sounds, how-
ever, this should be set to off so that the
drum sound plays back in its entirety (is
not cut off).
