MIDI Functions
The DRM1 MKIII receives MIDI notes including corresponding velocity data. This way, the sound
can be played dynamically. Other MIDI data such as controller data are not processed.
Setting the MIDI-channel and note number for an
individual instrument channel
1. Press the
TRIG
button
②
of the corresponding instrument channel while switching the unit
on. Hold the button for about three seconds until the sound and the corresponding LED is
triggered. The DRM1 MKIII has now entered learn mode
2. Now, send a MIDI note number to the unit, e.g. by pressing a note on a connected keyboard.
The note number and the MIDI-channel used will be learned by this instrument channel. The
DRM1 MKIII automatically and immediately jumps into normal play mode.
Repeat these steps for each instrument channel if needed. This way you may play the DRM1 MKIII’s
sound on different MIDI-channels.
Setting the MIDI-channel and note numbers for all
instrument channels
1. Press any two
TRIG
buttons
②
while switching the unit on. Hold the buttons for about three
seconds until both instrument channels and its corresponding LEDs are triggered. The DRM1
MKIII has now entered learn mode.
2. Now, send a sequence of eight note numbers to the unit, e.g. by pressing notes on a
connected keyboard. All note numbers and the MIDI-channel used for transmission will be
learned.
The first transmitted note number refers to the DRM MKIIIs
KICK
instrument channel. Its
TRIG LED will shortly light up and the sound will be triggered. This confirms the saving of the
note number for
KICK
. The DRM1 MKIII now automatically advances to the next instrument
channel:
DRUM 1.
After that
DRUM 2
,
MULTI
,
SNARE
,
HI HAT 1
,
HI HAT 2
and finally
