CHAPTER 6:

PROGRAMMING DRUMS

Drum Edit Mode is lowest level of the DM Pro, where the actual shaping of timbres

takes place. Drum Edit Mode is for advanced operation only as it is substantially

more complex than any of the other Modes. For most applications, you can likely

accomplish your desired task from within Drumkit Mode, which is discussed in the

previous section. However, if you want to create new composite drum or percussion

sounds from scratch, or if you want to edit existing Drums, read on.

Drum Edit Mode is where you edit the Parameters which make up a Drum. Each DM

Pro Drum is composed of up to four Sounds, and each Sound has its own unique

Parameter Values.

To enter or return to Drum Edit Mode, press [DRUM] and then

[EDIT].

There are 11 Functions in Drum Edit Mode:

Sound Select

Voice Select

Level

Pitch

Filter

Amplitude

Pitch Envelope

Filter Envelope

Amplitude Envelope

Modulation Matrix

Drum Name

THE SOUND SELECT FUNCTION

The Sound Select Function contains no Parameters – it exists on only one level and is

always available to you in Drum Edit Mode as the first item in the display. This is

because as you edit multiple Sounds within a Drum, you will constantly want to

move between Sounds as you fine tune the interaction of the four Sounds with each

other.

To change Sounds within a Drum, simply move the cursor beneath the Sound

Number (1 -4) and then turn the Value encoder to select the desired Sound:

SND4:VOICE

Group: Hi Hat

Note that each Sound within a Drum can be enabled or disabled. The Sound Enable

Parameter is the very first Parameter in Drum Edit Mode and is described below. The

following convention applies at all times in Drum Edit Mode: When a Sound is

enabled, it will be displayed in UPPERCASE letters (SND1). When a Sound is

disabled, it will be displayed in lowercase letters (snd1).

1 2 ... 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 ... 174 175
