Drum Remix
To liven up or simply modify a song, all you have to do usually is change the
rhythm structure of the drums or the percussion instruments, which is always con-
templated in the remix of famous songs and dance. When the user changes the
drum track, he also often modifies the balance of the individual percussion instru-
ments too, with a crescendo in the number of instruments that make up a rhythm
track. The SD5 instrument enables the realisation of similar results, utilising the
percussion tracks of the Styles instead of that of the drums of a Midi file, enabling
the muting of single percussion groups of the rhythm track. When the Midi file is
being played it is also possible to change the original style, to activate three Fill's
and to pull-up one of the four Arrangers in real time!
REMIX WITH ONE STYLE
To activate the Remix function, first pull-up the Midi file in
SSoonngg PPllaayy
(pls. see relative chapter) and then, again from the
SSoonngg PPllaayy
page, acti-
vate
FF99 DDrruumm RReemmiixx
, before playing the Midi file. “
SSttyyllee SSeelleecctt
” will appear on the display to point out that this mode within the Drum Remix
function has been activated. At this stage select the remix mode by pressing the
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 11//RREEMMIIXX SSEELLEECCTT
button, which is used to toggle
between
SSoonngg SSeelleecctt
(the style buttons are used to enter the numbers to immediately pull-up a new Midifile other than that currently selected)
and
SSttyyllee SSeelleecctt
(the style buttons are used to enter the number to pull-up a Style whose drum tracks are to be used to replace those within
the midifile). Once the desired Style has been selected, you can play the Midi file with the Remixed drums track by pressing
PPLLAAYY
. During play
back, you can always switch from the original track to the remixed one using the
KKEEYY SSTTAARRTT//SSOONNGG RREEMMIIXX PPLLAAYY aanndd KKEEYY SSTTOOPP//SSTTYYLLEE RREEMMIIXX PPLLAAYY
buttons. If you wish to start the Midi file with the original track,(once the Remix function has been activated and the Style chosen) select
KKEEYY
SSTTAARRTT//SSOONNGG RREEMMIIXX PPLLAAYY
before you start playing. The volume of the rhythm tracks of the Style can be balanced relative to the Midi file, using
the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR ((LLeefftt aanndd RRiigghhtt))
buttons once you have selected
SSttyyllee SSeelleecctt
using the
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 11//RREEMMIIXX SSEELLEECCTT
button. Vice versa you can
balance the volume of the Midi file, again using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
buttons, when
SSoonngg SSeelleecctt
is selected with
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 11//RREEMMIIXX SSEELLEECCTT
. These
modifications, together with the selection of the Style for Remix, can be saved by switching to
FF11 GGMM PPaarrtt
and then by pressing
SSAAVVEE
to activa-
te the saving procedure of a new Song Set-up on the disc currently selected.
To keep the
DDrruumm RReemmiixx
function enabled when pulling-up another Midifile, activate the
DDrruumm RReemmiixx OOnn--LLiinnee
function by pressing the
BBRREEAAKK
kkeeyy ((OONN LLIINNEE))
. The activation of the above-mentioned function is enhanced on the display, by key F9 with the appearance of the message
RRMMXX
((OOnnLLiinnee))
. In this mode you can go to
SSoonngg SSeelleecctt
mode using the
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 11
key and select a new Midifile. The Remix will not be interrupted
and the new Midifile will play with the rhythm currently selected.
The Remix function can be activated also from a certain measure onward.
●

●
In front of F2 two numbers appear: the first indicates the START measure, the second indicates the END measure.
●
Press F2 and use VALUE to select the measure from which you wish the REMIX to start.
●
Press START. The DRUM REMIX starts from the measure number selected.
DRUM MIXER
Ketron has grouped percussion sounds in nine categories for each drum set that can be selected using function keys
FF11--FF99
, after having pres-
sed the
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 22//DDRRUUMM MMIIXXEERR
button. When a category is checked, the percussion instruments correlated to it will play, otherwise their volu-
mes will be muted (
MMuuttee
function). The purpose of the
DDrruumm MMiixxeerr
is that of being able to create new rhythm combinations simply by
MMuuttiinngg
some percussion instruments, which proves especially useful in South American rhythms and in dance styles.
DDrruumm MMiixxeerr
also works for the
sampled grooves, offering the most realistic effect and rhythmical versatility ever seen up to date.
Using
FF1100 DDrruummsseett
, you can modify the Drum Set used in the Style. The page pulled-up is used to select between six pages of Drumset, each of
which can be pulled-up using the function buttons. From this page, you can also play the Drum Set on the keyboard by activating
FF1100 MMaannuuaall
and by accessing the Edit page of the Drum Set using
FF99 EEddiitt
.
DRUM & BASS
The
IINNTTRROO--EENNDD 33//DDRRUUMM && BBAASSSS
button has another function when in Song Play. It mutes the volume of all the tracks with the exception of that
of the drums and bass.
