84 QuadraSynth Reference Manual
Programming Drum Sounds
To program a sound in Drum Mode, you must first enable Drum Mode for that
particular sound in the Misc. Function (see previous section). Quad Knob [4] is
always used to select a Drum (1Ñ10), regardless of which Function or Page is
selected (except Effect, Name and Misc.). For an explanation of the basics of Drum
Mode, see page 56.
When using Edit 4 mode, sounds using Drum Mode will be unavailable for editing; only
sounds not in Drum Mode will be editable in the bargraph display. If a sound is in Drum
mode, the display will show ÒdrmX,Ó whereby X is the sound number (1Ñ4).
If you enable Drum Mode for a sound while in Edit 4 mode, the QuadraSynth will
automatically switch to Edit 1 mode for that layer.
Assign Voice
The Assign Voice function is where you choose the particular sample for the selected
drum (1Ñ10). Similar to the normal Assign Voice function, sounds are divided into
groups. After selecting the group (using Quad Knob [1]), you then select the sample
within the group (using Quad Knob [2]). Here is a chart listing the various drum
samples in their respective groups.

Level
Each of the 10 drums in a sound can have its own level, pan position, and output
assignment. The function provides these controls. Use Quad Knob [1] to adjust the
selected drumÕs level (00 to 99), Quad Knob [2] to adjust pan position (<3 to >3), and
Quad Knob [3] to select the Output assignment (Main, Aux or Off). Use Quad Knob
[4] to select the drum (1Ñ10) you wish to edit.
To send a drum to an individual output, use Output in conjunction with Pan.
Example: Panning a drum full left and selecting the Aux outputs means that the drum
will appear at only the left Aux output.
