ABOUT THE DMX VOICES
The DMX contains eight sets of voices. Each voice has three
variations, and some of the voices contain two completely different
sounds. The sound of each voice is contained on one or several
memory chips.
THE SOUNDS
The DMX comes from the factory with the following voices and these
variations:
BASS Bass drum, with three volume levels.
SNARE Snare drum, with three volume levels.
HIHAT A hihat, with a closed and an accented sound, plus a
longer "open" sound.
TOM 1 A tom-tom, with three individual pitches.
TOM 2 A tom-tom, lower in pitch than TOM 1, again with
three pitches.
CYMBAL This voice contains two sounds, a ride cymbal which
can be played accented or unaccented, as well as a
crash cymbal.
PERC 1 This voice also contains two sounds, a tambourine
with accent, as well as a rimshot.
PERC 2 two sounds, a shaker with accent, plus hand claps.
TUNING
The pitch of each of the voices can be tuned up or down half an
octave by adjusting the pitch controls located inside the DMX on the
top rear of each of the voice cards. The voice cards can be
accessed by removing the two screws at the front of the unit, and
then lifting up the front panel.
Additionally, the pitch of each voice may be controlled with pedals
or control voltages connected to the CV IN connector on the rear
panel of the unit (see CONTROLLING THE DMX WITH EXTERNAL CVS AND
GATES).
