Midi Application
The DRM1 MKII receives MIDI note and velocity messages (for playing the sounds dynamically).
Adjusting the MIDI- notes and channel
Adjusting a single channel
• Hold down the TRIG button of the channel you like to assign a note number and midi channel, while
switching on the DRM1 MKII. Release the TRIG button, after the specific channel has been triggered.
(TRIG LED flashes)
• The DRM1 MKII is in learn mode now.
• Send the note number and the midi channel to the DRM1 MKII
• The note number and midi channel is stored now.
Adjusting all channels
• Hold down two arbitrary TRIG buttons (4) while switching on the DRM1 MKII. Release the buttons after
these two channels has been triggered.
The DRM1 MKII is in the learn mode, now.
• Send eight note-on messages from your midi source to the DRM1 MKII. (i.e. by pressing eight keys on a
keyboard/synthesizer)
The first note value that will be received from the DRM1 MKII, is valid for the first drum channel (DRUM1).
When the device receives the midi message, the TRIG LED (5) of the corresponding channel flashes and its
sound can be heard.
The note-on value for the first channel is set now and the DRM1 MKII jumps to the next channel (DRUM2).
• This procedure has to be repeated eight times (from DRUM1- up to the CLAP channel).
NOTE: Each cymbal/hi hat channel (CYMBAL1 and CYMBAL2) needs two note numbers, one for cymbal/hi hat
and one for closed hat.
When setting the note-on number for this channels you always assign the value for the cymbal/open hat.
The note-on value for the closed hat will be assigned automatically. It lays two semitones below the open
hat/cymbal, so you have to let a minimum of two semitones space on the keyboard after the previous channel.
(I.e. if you send a B to the Cymbal1 channel, the closed hat is set automatically to an A)
• The midi channel will be sent with the last (8th) midi-note information.
When having sent eight midi-on messages to the DRM1 MKII, it will jump to the normal play mode – the
assignments are stored (also after switching the device off).
