I couldn't agree more. I think its mostly that the manual is poorly written for anyone who does not have experience with these devices. The rest of my kit is due to arrive today and I'm sure once I start fiddling with it, things will start to become clear.
For reference to where this whole confusion started, here is the introductory paragraph from page 48 of the manual, for the section entitled Voice Settings. Keep in mind that this is preceded in the manual by the section on midi notes, which in and of itself is quite confusing and appears to be a pre-requisite to the voice settins:
Voice Settings - Edit Pages and Basic Operation
"In the first six pages you can assign a drum voice for each note number contained in the rhythm and drum part (MIDI channel 10)........note the huge amount of note numbers available...........this is the total number of useable notes..........to set up a simple kit."
That is where I got all hung up... well, anyway, thanks for your clarifications, and I will post as soon as I get everything set up and working, if I have further confusion :-)
Have a great day!
Vick
