Programming Drumkits

4 8 DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL

P7: The DRUM LINK Parameter

This Parameter allows you to trigger another Drum when the selected Drum is

played. It is a method for layering Drums without having to enter Drum Edit Mode.

When the Drum Link Parameter is active for a given Drum, two Drums will respond

to one incoming MIDI Note or Trigger. You can layer any Drum with any other

Drum in the current Drumkit (except itself). And every single Drum inside a Kit can

be layered with some other Drum in that Kit.

To Link one Drum to another, move the cursor under the word OFF:

Drum Link:OFF

Note:83 B4

As soon as you select the first possible value, the display will look like this:

Drum Link:33 A0

Note:83 B4L

The “L” on the lower line indicates that the Drum on MIDI Note Number 83 has been

Linked. The

33 A0 part of the display tells you which MIDI Note Number is Linked

to the currently selected Drum. But this is the only page inside the Mix Function

where the DM Pro shows the MIDI Note Number to which the current Drum is

Linked. However, when you press [DRUM], [TUNE], or [TRIG] and you call up the

Drum on MIDI Note Number 83, the Linked Drum’s MIDI Note Number will be

displayed. This is how it will look from the Drum Select screen:

AP2:000 SleighBl

Note:83 B4L33

P8: The DRUM ENABLE Parameter

To Enable a Drum to sound, set the Enable Value to ON. If the Enable Parameter is

not set to ON, the Drum will not sound and the MIDI Note that the Drum occupies

will be silent. If you want to deliberately disable a Drum from sounding, set the

Enable Value to OFF.

THE NOTE CHASE FUNCTION

The Note Chase Function is a quick way to select a specific MIDI Note in the DM Pro.

Unlike other DM Pro Functions, there are no Parameters associated with Note Chase.

The Function is simply either on or off.

When Note Chase is on, the note played from your controller, either MIDI or Trigger,

will change the currently selected MIDI Note to the note you played.

To turn on the Note Chase Function, simply press CHASE and the button will light.

To turn off the Note Chase Function, press CHASE again so that the button’s light

goes off.

Tip: Turn the Note Chase Function off when the DM Pro is being played by a

sequencer. If Note Chase is on, the selected MIDI Note will jump erratically as it

tries to follow the last note sent. If the DM Pro is displaying any Drumkit

editing Function, the LCD will constantly update the current Parameter Value

1 2 ... 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 ... 174 175
