PAGE 10: FILTER
Pad Filter allows you to make changes to the tonal characteristics of a sound by removing
the higher frequencies from the sound. This allows you to make a particular drum sound
darker, with more pronounced bass. The higher the value the more high frequencies will be
allowed to pass through. The lower values will cut off the higher frequencies of the sound in
a more pronounced fashion, resulting in a more muted sound.
To change the filter setting associated with a given pad:
1. Select the sound set which you would like to
edit by pressing DRUM, 1-SHOT or SYNTH.
2. Press the pad (the display will show the pad
number).
3. Enter the desired filter amount, using the
number keypad, INC/DEC buttons or the
VALUE dial. (Remember that lower values
will result in a duller, more muted sound.)
PAGE 11: TRIGGERING MODE (ASN MODE)
Background Each mode affects triggering in a different way:
Multi: When hitting a pad repeatedly, each hit will cause the sound to go through its entire
decay. This is useful with cymbals, since early strikes will continue to decay as you play
later strikes.
Single: When hitting a pad repeatedly, a new hit will automatically terminate any sound that
is still decaying. This is useful with many 1-shot sounds (such as sirens, explosions, etc).
Group 1 through 8: Pads assigned to a particular group (1 through 8) will cut each other off
if a group pad is struck while another pad assigned to the same group continues to sound.
The classic use of this is with hi-hats; a closed hi-hat will cut off an open hi-hat, and hitting
an open hi-hat sound will cut off a closed hi-hat.
The XR20 can play up to 32 voices at a time, so it's possible to run out of voices if you play
a flurry of notes and have lots of pads in the Multi assign mode. If 16 sounds are playing
and you ask the XR20 to play another one, the sound that's closest to finishing its decay
cycle will be "stolen" so that the most recent sound can be played. In practice, it's difficult
(and usually not artistically desirable!) to create drum parts so complex that voice-stealing
becomes a problem. However, if this is a problem, try assigning all the toms to a group so
that they only require one voice at a time.
The display shows ASN MODE (short for Assignment Mode), the currently selected pad
number, and the mode assigned to that pad.
To change the mode associated with a given pad:
1. Select the sound set which you would like to
edit by pressing DRUM, 1-SHOT or SYNTH.
2. Press the pad (the display will show the pad
number in the upper right corner).
3. Enter the desired mode with the INC/DEC
buttons, the number keypad (buttons 1-4) or
the VALUE dial.
