 ADJUSTING THE METRONOME VOLUME 

 
To select the "click" sound the metronome will make: 

1.

 

Press CLICK to activate the metronome.  The 
LCD will display the current time signature.   

2.

 

Press VOLUME.  The Volume Indicator will light 
up, and the LCD will display the current volume 
level. 

3.

 

Use VALUE +/- to adjust the volume. 

4.

 

Press CLICK when finished. 

 
 
 
 

 PATTERNS 

 
The DM6 module comes with 40 preset Patterns (40 
Presets and one User Pattern).  To select a Pattern: 

 

1.

 

Press PATTERN to enter Pattern Select Mode.  
The LCD will display the current Pattern number 
and the Pattern Indicator will light up.   

2.

 

Use VALUE +/- to select a Pattern.  (If the User 
Pattern, #41, is empty, the LCD will read "N–P.") 

3.

 

Press START / STOP to play or stop the Pattern.  
While the Pattern is playing, the CLICK button will 
flash in time with the beat and the PAD 
INDICATORS will light according to what pads' 
sounds are playing (a useful learning and practice tool).   

4.

 

To adjust the Pattern's volume (which is different from the 
module's Master volume level), press VOLUME to enter 
Volume Adjustment Mode.  The Volume Indicator will light up 
and the LCD will display the current volume value for that 
pattern.  Use VALUE +/- to adjust the volume of that Pattern.   

5.

 

To adjust the Pattern's tempo, press TEMPO to enter Tempo 
Adjustment Mode.  The LCD will display the current tempo 
value for that Pattern (30–280 BPM or "beats per minute").  
Use VALUE +/- to adjust the tempo of that Pattern.  Press + 
and – simultaneously to return to the Pattern's default tempo. 

6.

 

When you are finished, press PATTERN to re-enter Pattern Select Mode or press another button.  

 

 RECORDING 

 

 RECORD-ARMED MODE 

 
Press and hold SAVE / REC for more than two 
seconds to arm the module to record a new User 
Pattern.  The LCD will display the Kit number and the 
REC light will flash. 
 
In this mode, you can adjust the Pattern that will 
accompany you, the tempo, or the Kit number.  You 
can also mute the accompanying Pattern (see DRUM 
OFF)

 

or turn the metronome on or off.  However, you 

will not be able to select a different Voice or time 
signature in this mode. 
 

The Patterns and the MIDI IN (over a USB 
connection) use the same 16 MIDI 
channels, which may affect Pattern 
playback.  If this occurs, turn the module off 
then on again to reset it. 

When the module is recording-armed, the 
LCD will display the current Pattern's 
volume, but you will not be able to adjust it.
