Programming Drumkits

DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 4 3

THE TUNE FUNCTION

This Function allows you to change the pitch of an individual Drum within a

Drumkit.

To access the Tune Function, press TUNE. Then select the MIDI Note of the Drum

that you wish to tune.

Now move the cursor beneath the Tune Value and turn the Value encoder to adjust

the pitch of the Drum to taste.

Drums can be tuned in 25 cent steps, which is one quarter of a musical half step (the

smallest interval on a piano or guitar) or one eighth of a musical whole step. The

maximum tuning range in Drumkit Mode is two octaves away from the root pitch,

either up or down.

Tip: To reach tuning ranges beyond the reach of Drumkit Mode, adjust the Semitone

Parameter contained in the Pitch Function of Drum Edit Mode.

THE MIX FUNCTION

This Function allows you to change the output characteristics of a Drum within a

Drumkit. These output characteristics include whether a Drum is Enabled, its

Volume, Pan Position, Output Assignment, Effects Buss Assignment and Send Level.

The Mix Function also enables you to set Drums to mute or trigger other Drums

using the Mute Group and Drum Link Parameters.

assigned to a MIDI Note. To set Drum Volume, move the cursor beneath the Drum
