*1: Wave voices
A wave voice is an audio file containing, for example, an
instrument sound, an effect sound, or a sampled phrase.
These .WAV format files can be transferred from a computer
to your drum module and used as voices for pads. See page
79 for instructions on how to transfer them to the drum mod-
ule.
*2: Pad Song
Using the Pad Song function, you can play one of the drum
module’s internal songs simply by striking a pad. In the same
way as regular voices, these songs can be assigned to indi-
vidual pad layers. The Pad Song function can play up to three
songs simultaneously. In addition, when you have selected
Pad Song as the voice category, you can also set the song’s
Repeat and Play modes as shown below (page 30).
