Programming Drums
DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 8 9
In the example on the previous page, the Soft Snare Voice will sound at very low
velocities, the Medium and Hard Snare Voices will sound at moderate to hard
velocities, and the Rimshot Share Voice will sound will very hard velocities, creating
a highly responsive and very musical Drum.
A NOTE ABOUT THE PREVIEW BUTTON AND
VELOCITY CURVES
The [PREVIEW] button is a very handy tool for hearing the edit you’ve made
without having to turn away from the front panel of the DM Pro. It will play the
currently selected Drum or Sound(s) at a MIDI velocity of 127 (maximum). Since this
is the case, keep in mind that you will not hear any Sounds which were programmed
using a velocity curve of 1 of 2, 1 of 3, 1 of 4, 2 of 3, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, INVERTED or
MINIMUM. Each of these velocity curves is set up to be completely silent (or nearly
so) when a velocity value of 127 is received.
P2 The SOUND OVERLAP Parameter
This Parameter determines how long a Sound will play when the same note is
triggered immediately after it. With the Sound Overlap set to its maximum Value,
polyphony will be used very rapidly as each Sound plays completely to its expected
finish. Conversely, if you combine a minimum setting of the Sound Overlap
parameter with a Gate Time of 001 and an Amplitude Envelope Trigger Mode setting
of NORMAL or RESET, each new hit of the same note will instantly choke the
previous Sound, regardless of its programmed length, creating a very unnatural
“machine gun” style effect.
The default Value for this Parameter is 20, which is a good starting place. The ideal
Sound Overlap Value will vary from timbre to timbre. As always, your ear is the best
judge, so experiment with different settings.
To set the Sound Overlap Value for the current Sound, move the cursor beneath the
Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder:
