Ed...Yah it's snowing here, but not like on the
coast...I live between Buffalo and Rochester,NY in a
small rural farming community, so we are only supposed
to get 4 or 5 inches.
Now that UTILITY MODE...on the MAP...the Page you're
referring to is it under section 5-1.
UT MAP N= OC-2
=K/000 NO ASSIGN?
So while I am on this MAP Page, I would set the note
number for the ride bow (on my user kit I created, I
have note #49 Category 040) RIGHT NOW I HAVE NOTHING
PLUGGED INTO OUTLET 6 ON THE DTX, so I would have to
assign this cymbal sound to pad#9. I could COPY that
setting to say INPUT 7, then when and save it to user
kit #80? Am I following you right?
You say I would have to assign a different note #
other than the #49 on this UT MAP N= **would the N= be
an INPUT or a NOTE NUMBER? This is where I GET
CONFUSED....and Where it says K+NO ASSIGN...Would I
assign whatever the 040 Ride cymbal is or would that
be the input number? Please be patient with me, I
KNOW I am DENSE, just wish it would come faster for
me...will wait for your response...Thanks!!....Jade
