Setting Up And Getting Started 

 

24 

 

Selecting a KIT

 

After  switching  on  the  module,  the  DrumIt  Five  is  in  the  KIT  mode  (KIT  LED  is  lit).  Use  the  left DATA 
knob to call up the various KITs of the user KIT bank. 

See 

chapter 9

 for a detailed description of how to make changes to the default KITs. 

 

Adjusting the Volume 

The LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the DrumIt Five. In the factory default setting the turning of this 
knob changes the volumes of the line outputs OUT1·2 and the PHONES output at the same time. This 
setting can be modified for other situations (see examples on page 64). 

Saving 

Any changes made in the modes KIT and UNIT can be saved if SAVE is enabled (see page 60). For this, 
use the SAVE function on the respective main page. 

UNIT-MIX (see explanations on page 45) 

KIT-PROG (explanations starting on page 31) 

 

Editing 

The editing of KITs and sounds in the DrumIt Five is intuitive. Go to the respectively required page and 
then  select  the  drum-channel  to  be  edited  by  pressing  its drum  channel  button.  Hold  down  the  MORE 
button  to  select  a  PERC-channel  (see  information  in  Chapter  Fehler!  Verweisquelle  konnte  nicht 
gefunden werden.

 

Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht  gefunden werden.). Change the parameters with
