CHAPTER 4:

PROGRAMMING

DRUMKITS

Drumkit Mode is where you will spend 99% of your time with the DM Pro. It is the

“top level” of the unit. Drumkit Mode is where you select individual Drums, change

their volumes, their panning, their tuning and their MIDI and output assignments.

Drumkit Mode also contains all of the Effects Functions as well as Trigger Note

assignments. It is the general housekeeping area of the module – most tasks can be

accomplished right here.

To enter or return to Drumkit Mode at any time, press the KIT

button.

This section describes the programming and editing of a Drumkit.

There are 9 Functions in Drumkit Mode:

Drum Assign

Tune

Mix

Note Chase

Trigger Note Assign

Trigger Sequence

MIDI

Drumkit Name

Effects

THE DRUM ASSIGN FUNCTION

This Function assigns any of the individual DM Pro Drums to specific MIDI Note

Numbers. There are 64 available MIDI Note Numbers in the DM Pro which can be

thought of as locations or slots where Drums reside.

To access the Drum Assign Function, press DRUM.

To assign a Drum to a specific MIDI Note, select that MIDI Note using the Note

Chase Function or by moving the cursor to the MIDI Note and selecting it with the

Value encoder. Remember that you can audition the Drum you’ve selected by using

the [PREVIEW] button.

Next, select the type of Drum you want by moving the cursor beneath the Drum

Group. The Drum Group is the three character abbreviation to the left of the Drum

Name:
