The XR20 has 100 Preset and 100 Editable Drum Sets (groups of sounds). After pressing
the DRUM SET button, you can use the INC / DEC buttons, the DATA dial, or the number
buttons to select a different set (each set can have its own sounds, tuning, volume,
panning, etc). You may also edit individual pad sounds within each kit. In addition, you
may also choose different Synth sounds for each kit.
STEP 1
Press the DRUM SET button to bring up the
Drum Set Menu. You will see the screen shown
