You should first download and install the latest update for the HyperCanvas from http://www.edirol.net/products/en/HQ-GM2/index.html to make sure you are running the latest version. For example, if you wanted to create a custom drum kit that uses a lower volume for the kick drum, you can follow these basic steps: • Open the HyperCanvas control console in the DirectX window. • Click on the Edit button for the Drum part. • Select Kick drum by clicking in the Instrument Name field. • Set the Volume a bit lower. • Double-click on the Drum Set name and type in the name of your choice for the drum set that will contain the modified bass (kick) drum sound. • Click Write, and save the drum set to any available space. For example, 002. • Close the DirectX window. In Band-in-a-Box or PowerTracks Pro Audio, choose patch 2 for your drum part. In Band-in-a-Box, you will need to use File | Save So
