(Note: Wave Shaping is discussed on pages 68-71 in  the Percussion Manual)
Simply put, Wave Shaping is distortion. It is, however, a much more sophisticated distortion than what is used on an electric guitar, for example.

The 01 uses an envelope to modulate a clean Program (Prog). There are 60 envelopes to choose from, and they are all listed in the Wave Shaping Table below. To apply Wave Shaping, follow these steps:

1. Select the Program you want to try Wave Shaping on.
2. Push EDIT PROG.
3. Push "1" to select Page 1.
At the bottom of this page will be one or two Wave Shaping lines, depending on how many Sounds or Kits are in the Program. If you have a Drum Program (like A09 Total Kit), there is only one line. For simplicity, assume we are editing Program A09 Total Kit.

4. Push CURSOR UP or CURSOR DOWN once to get on the Wave Shaping line.
5. Push letter button "A" to highlight the Wave Shaping Type field.
6. Select the type of Wave Shaping envelope you want by entering the number corresponding to that in the Wave Shaping Table below. You can also turn Wave Shaping off by moving the VALUE SLIDER all the way down (after nudging it up a little, if it's already all the way down).

Once you have chosen an envelope, hit some keys. Wave Shaping is very tricky and personal. Some people like, some hate it. Wave Shaping works well with some Programs, not well at all on others. Play with the amount of shaping, as well as the other parameters on the bottom line, which are:
Velocity Sense on button "E"
Start Level on button "F"
Decay Time on button "G"
Sustain Level on button "H"
