w AltGrp
Use this parameter to assign the voices produced by the spec-
ified trigger input source to an alternate group—that is, a col-
lection of voices that you do not want to play simultaneously,
such as open and closed hi-hats. If a voice is triggered while
another from the same alternate group is already playing, the
earlier voice will be silenced before the new one is played.
The KitCommon area is used to set parameters that apply to the
current kit.

Double Bass Switch
q DblBass
By setting this parameter to “on”, you can easily configure

for double bass drumming techniques.

q RevSendDr
Use this parameter to specify the level at which all of the cur-
rent kit’s drum voices are to be sent to the built-in reverb unit.
