8 2 DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL

1> Panned slightly right

2> Panned moderately right

3> Panned hard right

To set the Sound to your desired Pan position, move the cursor beneath the

Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder to the Pan the Sound:

SND1:LEVEL

Snd Panning: < 1

THE PITCH FUNCTION

The Pitch Function has four Parameters that all determine the Pitch, or tuning, of an

individual Sound.

P1 The SEMITONE Parameter

This Parameter is the “gross” Pitch adjuster in the Pitch Function. Changing this

Value will alter the Pitch of the Sound in 100 cent steps (a musical half step). The

maximum range of this Parameter is up or down 24 half steps, or two octaves in

either direction. Negative Pitch Values (downward Pitch shifts) are indicated by a “-”

before the Value. Using this Drum Edit Parameter combined with the Drum Tune

Function, you can shift a sample across a range of eight octaves.

To change the Pitch of a Sound by a Semitone or Semitones, move the cursor beneath

the Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder to tune the Sound to the

desired Semitone:

SND1:PITCH

Semitone: 12

P2 The DETUNE Parameter

This Parameter is the “fine” Pitch adjuster in the Pitch Function. Changing this Value

will alter the Pitch of the Sound in 1/2 cent steps (100 cents = 1 musical half step).

The maximum range of this Parameter is up or down one quarter tone, or “half of a

half step”, in either direction. As with the Semitone Parameter, negative Pitch Values

(downward Pitch shifts) are indicated by a minus sign (-) before the Value.

To change the Pitch of a Sound in 1/2 cent increments, move the cursor beneath the

Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder to Detune or “fine tune” the Sound

to taste:

SND1:PITCH

Detune: -3 0

In the above example, the Sound is Detuned flat (down) by 15 cents.

P3 The PITCH WHEEL TO PITCH Parameter

This Parameter sets the DM Pro to allow the Pitch Bend Wheel on a MIDI controller

to modify the Pitch of an individual Sound. The Value is adjusted in increments of a

musical half step (100 cents) with a maximum range of one octave in either direction.
