3.2.3 Details Mode

Details mode gives you a more detailed view of

each pad, showing the choke group, hold, aux,

and output settings for the pad.

The volume, pan, edit, mute, etc. controls work

exactly as in Overview Mode.

The Hold button, when activated, causes the pad

to ignore any MIDI note-off messages and play to

the end of the sound or sample. This is very useful

when working with the Cubase Drum Editor, which

sends note-offs after a very short time causing some

samplers to ‘cut’ the sound.

The Choke button is used to assign the pad to a choke group.

When a pad assigned to a choke group is triggered, it ‘cuts’ all other

pads in that group. This is very useful for programming authentic-sounding

HiHats - it allows you to cut any open hats whenever a closed hat is played.

The Output button allows you to assign the pad to one of the DR-008’s

multi-outs (multi-out enabled host applications only).

The Aux faders control the level of signal sent to the selected Aux Output

(multi-outs enabled host applications only). Right-click the Aux fader to select

the operating mode (pre or post fader) and destination output for the aux signal.

3.2.4 Mix Mode

Mix mode provides large faders for fine control

of the volume of each pad, and larger, easier-

to-use mute, solo, aux, etc. controls. Aside

from their appearance, the controls work

largely the same as Details mode. The important differences are

the additional volume faders and pan knobs, and the fact that the

Aux Send destinations and modes are assigned by a left-click above

the knob, rather than by right-clicking the knob itself. Because this

mode shows 24 out of the 96 channels at any one time, it allows

you to navigate between the fader banks with the octave buttons

or with the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.
