Connections
Before you can start playing the Modor DR-2 a few connections have to be made. This
chapter is written to help you make the first connections so that you can immediately
start playing your instrument. By following these instructions, you will have your
Modor drum machine up and running in a few minutes time.
Main Audio Connections
The main stereo output of the Modor DR-2 is found on
the L/PHON and R/MONO connectors on the backside of the instrument. Connect
the DR-2 to an external amplifier or mixing device with two mono 6mm jack cables.
The external amplifier or mixing device should be switched off before making this
connection, and only be switched on after the connection has been made to prevent
damage to the equipment.
You can also connect headphones to the L/PHON audio connector with a 6mm
TRS-connector. The signal is strong enough to drive a pair of headphones, although it
may not be loud enough to be used in noisy environments.
Channel Audio Connections
The Modor DR-2 has six drum channels that can be
sent to the main L/R mix, but can also be sent out using the A-F connectors on the
backside. If you insert a mono 6mm jack connector into one of these connectors, this
channel is taken out of the main stereo mix on the L/R connectors and can be treated
separately on an external mixing desk.
However, these connectors can also be used as so-called ’insert’ points. Using a
6mm TRS connector you can send a channel out for external treatment, some effect for
example, and have it returned back into the DR-2. It then passes the stereo panning and
is mixed into the main L/R output.
Clock Syncronisation
The DR-2 has CLK IN and CLK OUT connectors for 24PPQN
clock signals. You can use the DR-2 as a clock master or clock slave to synchronise
with other systems.
