by P. HENNIG and A. PATEMAN

SIDE A: ELECTRO KIT

1. E KICK	5. E PEOW
2. E SNARE	6. E HITAT
3. E HI TOM	7. E CYMB
4. E LO TOM	8. E CLAPS

SIDE B: KIT EDITOR

This tape contains a kit of 8 extra drum sounds to LOAD into 
your SpecDrum Digital Drum System, plus the SpecDrum Kit 
Editor, which enables "kits" and individual sounds to be SAVEd 
and LOADed, even reversed, allowing you to create your own 
custom drum kits.
TO LOAD THE ELECTRO KIT into the SpecDrum: Connect the
SpecDrum module and LOAD the SpecDrum program as nor-
mal but STOP THE TAPE WHEN THE "KIT LOADING" MES-
SAGE FLASHES at the top of the picture screen. (Note this tape
position for later reference). Insert this tape and PLAY from the
start of SIDE A. DO NOT PRESS ANY COMPUTER KEYS AT
THIS STAGE. The new kit will now LOAD, giving your Spec-
DRUM a whole new vocabulary!
Alternatively, with the SpecDrum already LOADed and RUN-
ning, select the LOAD/SAVE PAGE, then
PRESS KEY:
	[5] LOAD VOICE
	[9] ]]KIT[[
	ENTER
PLAY SIDE A of this tape. When the kit has LOADed, PRESS R
to Return to the Main Page and the new sounds (with their
names) will be present.

SIDE B: THE KIT EDITOR
This utility program runs independantly of the SpecDrum sys-
tem. With the computer reset, type LOAD"" and press ENTER,
then PLAY SIDE B of this tape.
THE KIT EDITOR allows you to LOAD a SpecDrum kit from
tape, and SAVE individual sounds from the kit onto your own
tape. Individually SAVEd sounds can then be reLOADed to
build up new kits which can be SAVEd and then LOADed into
the SpecDrum.
As an added bonus, sounds can also be reversed, giving the
SpecDrum a new range of effects.
When the program RUNs the 4 options LOAD, SAVE, VERIFY,
REVERSE, are displayed next to the relevant keys. In the lower
half of the screen, the numbers 1-8 represent the SpecDrum
voice numbers. 9 represents the whole kit.
PRESS KEYS 1-9 TO SELECT WHICH VOICE THE OPTIONS
APPLY TO.
The options are simple and self explanatory:
KEY
[J] 	LOADs the selected Voice with the first compatible sound
	found on tape. The name of the sound appears next to
	"LOAD" in the upper screen when found, and vertically
	below the Voice number when it has LOADed. Remember
	that sounds may only be LOADed to their own Channels.
	and that Channel 3 is split into upper and lower slots.
		CHANNEL 1: Voice 1
		CHANNEL 2: Voices 2,3, or 4
		CHANNEL 3 lower: Voices 5 or 6
			  upper: Voices 7 or 8
	To LOAD a kit select Voice 9

[S]	SAVEs the sound in the selected Voice, or the whole kit.
	SAVing commences when the key is released, so start re-
	cording before pressing S. Empty Voices can be SAVEd as
	part of a kit, but not singly.

[V]	VERIFIES selected sound against the immediately SAVEd
	sound, (or whole kit).

[R]	REVERSES selected sound. The Names of reversed
	sounds are also reversed, and an "R" appears over the
	voice number in the display.

To break out of LOAD, SAVE, or VERIFY, press SPACE. When
LOADing sounds or kits, if SPACE is pressed immediately after
the name has appeared in the upper screen the original sound
will remain. If SPACE is pressed while the sound or kit has
started LOADing, the Voice(s) will be erased.
The standard SpecDrum Kit can be LOADed into the KIT
EDITOR by selecting LOAD kit on the Editor, then PLAYing the
SpecDrum tape from the point where the "KIT LOADING" mes-
sage normally appears. When LOADing edited kits into the
SpecDrum, you can save time by LOADing the SpecDrum up to
the "KIT LOADING" point, then substituting your own tape. (See
above).
Kits or single sounds can also be loaded into the SpecDrum
from the LOAD/SAVE PAGE (see SpecDrum Manual).
