[. . . ] At any time, you can turn the VALUE knob to select a new sound. Let’s explore the twelve sounds that are preset in Live Mode!For each of these sounds, make sure you try EVERYTHING… Use your hands, use sticks, mallets, brushes, or whatever other playing tools you want. The textured ridges along the rim are there to be played as well… There’s a world of possibilities in each sound. Live Preset A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4 B-1 B-2 B-3 B-4 C-1 C-2 C-3 C-4 Program Number 98 61 15 49 35 75 00 50 59 67 19 82 Program Name The Forest Drum D&B Synth Djembe Steel Drum Tabla Drone Dance Hit Drone Snare 1 Broken Kalimba Snare/Kick 2 Kenya Street Rap Conga DDL Mystic Jam Description Try different velocities for different sounds, on both the head and the rim. The head has both kick and snare sounds, depending on how hard you strike it. [. . . ] The head has both kick and snare sounds, depending on how hard you strike it. The rim has velocity-sensitive synth sounds, and putting pressure on the head adds a sweeping steam sound!When played with hands, this algorithm reacts to pressure, mutes, slaps, and other nuances of a real djembe. Use different velocities to choose notes (F, A, B flat, C, and high F). As you play (use your hands here), try pressure in the middle for bayan sounds. Strike the rim hard for a bell/drone, which you can modify using pressure on the head!Bend the pitch of the drone down using head pressure, and add synth chords using the rim. Sure, it sounds amazing when played sticks, reacting just like a natural snare… but try it with brushes. Strike the head with different velocities, then hit the rim to find that broken tine!Mutes, slaps, pitch modulation via head pressure, it’s all there… and so much easier to carry around. P. Tn: Pressure Tune- If the program uses PCM samples, you can adjust how pressure affects the tuning of the samples, 12 semitones in either direction. P. dc: Pressure Decay- Affects how long head pressure will affect the sound. For each of the above editing parameters, just press one of the 1-4 buttons to select which part of the Wavedrum you want to modify, and then use the VALUE knob to adjust. There are also two more options that affect all parts of the Wavedrum’s sound at once: • • rEb: Reverb- The 1-4 buttons will allow you to respectively edit the reverb type, balance, depth, and high-frequency damping. dLY: Delay- The 1-4 buttons give you control over delay time, balance, feedback, and high-frequency damping. Once you’re comfortable editing, you’ll find a treasure trove of other parameters in EDIT 2!The display will show “Ed2” for a second, and then show “tYP. ” As you press the BANK/MODE button a few more times, you’ll cycle through these pages: • Eq- Pre EQ. This lets you specify whether you’re using hands or sticks to play the head or the rim, with five different combinations. • • • • H. 14- Edit parameters 1-4 of the head algorithm. Note: All of these algorithm parameters will change depending on which of the 32 algorithm(s) you selected in EDIT 1. Please see the Owner’s Manual for details. Save your creation Once you’ve customized a program, you’ll want to save it! [. . . ] • • • • H. 14- Edit parameters 1-4 of the head algorithm.
