* Drum voice types
Drum voices are divided into many groups (categories) in ac-
cordance with the type of sound i.e. kick, snare, etc. For more
information on Drum Voice categories, refer to the [Drum Voice
List] (P. 40).
Drum Voice Category Mute Classification
K, k K (kick)
S, s S (snare)
C, H C (cymbal)
T, t, P, E, e, L, m M (others)
Since drum voices for pads (triggers) are not muted you
can, for example, mute the snare voice of a song and prac-
tice the snare part along with song playback (the snare
voice is delivered when the pad is hit).q
