[. . . ] Here’s how to get around in Live Mode. • • • Press the BANK/MODE button to switch between the three banks, A, B, and C. Use the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons to select different sounds within each bank. At any time, you can turn the VALUE knob to select a new sound. Let’s explore the twelve sounds that are preset in Live Mode! [. . . ] Use different velocities to choose notes (F, A, B flat, C, and high F). As you play (use your hands here), try pressure in the middle for bayan sounds. Strike the rim hard for a bell/drone, which you can modify using pressure on the head!Bend the pitch of the drone down using head pressure, and add synth chords using the rim. Sure, it sounds amazing when played sticks, reacting just like a natural snare… but try it with brushes. Strike the head with different velocities, then hit the rim to find that broken tine!Strike dead center for a kick drum, and move outwards for snares. Pressure on the head will dramatically alter the snare sound. Press the head down for some ambient, rhythmic textures. Mutes, slaps, pitch modulation via head pressure, it’s all there… and so much easier to carry around. Drum along with a heavy delay, with swirling chimes adding an ethereal touch. While you’re in Live mode, you can always turn the VALUE dial to select specific sounds from the 100 preset/100 user locations. P. Tn: Pressure Tune- If the program uses PCM samples, you can adjust how pressure affects the tuning of the samples, 12 semitones in either direction. P. dc: Pressure Decay- Affects how long head pressure will affect the sound. For each of the above editing parameters, just press one of the 1-4 buttons to select which part of the Wavedrum you want to modify, and then use the VALUE knob to adjust. There are also two more options that affect all parts of the Wavedrum’s sound at once: • • rEb: Reverb- The 1-4 buttons will allow you to respectively edit the reverb type, balance, depth, and high-frequency damping. dLY: Delay- The 1-4 buttons give you control over delay time, balance, feedback, and high-frequency damping. Once you’re comfortable editing, you’ll find a treasure trove of other parameters in EDIT 2! Hold down the BANK/MODE button, and press the 3 button. The display will show “Ed2” for a second, and then show “tYP. ” As you press the BANK/MODE button a few more times, you’ll cycle through these pages: • Eq- Pre EQ. This lets you specify whether you’re using hands or sticks to play the head or the rim, with five different combinations. • • • • H. 14- Edit parameters 1-4 of the head algorithm. H. 58- Edit parameters 5-8 of the head algorithm. R. 14- Edit parameters 1-4 of the rim algorithm. [. . . ] Here’s how: • • • While in either EDIT 1 or EDIT 2 mode, press the WRITE button. Turn the VALUE knob to select a program number (you can’t save the preset locations, P00-P99) Press the WRITE button again. The program will be saved, and you’ll be returned to Live mode. Note: To restore the Wavedrum’s factory programs, hold down the WRITE button while turning the Wavedrum on. The display will blink “Pld. ” Press and hold the WRITE button for one more second, and the factory programs will be restored. [. . . ]
