How to Assign Drums to the Outputs

P3: Output

This Parameter determines to which of the six outputs a Drum assigned to

a MIDI Note will be sent. The six outputs are configured as two stereo

pairs (Main L/R and Aux 1/2) and two mono outputs (Aux 3 & Aux 4).

• To assign a Drum to a specific output or output pair, move the cursor

beneath the Output Assignment Parameter Value:

• Move the Value encoder to change the Output Assignment.

• There are five possible Values for the Output Assignment Parameter:

Main L/R (stereo)

Aux L/R (stereo)

Aux 3 (mono)

Aux 4 (mono)

FX Only

The FX Only setting removes the dry signal of a Drum from all outputs,

but the Drum still sends to the assigned Effects Buss. The result is an

"effect only" Drum that can be used as a musical effect or as a layer

with another Drum using the Drum Link Parameter.

• If a stereo Drum is assigned to Aux 3 or Aux 4, it will be automatically

summed to mono. This summation can be desirable in some

applications, but if you want to preserve the image of a stereo Drum,

then only assign it to Main L/R or Aux 1/2.

How to Adjust the Effects Levels

P4: FX Level

This Parameter allows you to set the amount of Drum signal that is sent

to the Effects processor for each MIDI Note of the DM Pro. Higher

Values will make the Drum sound more wet, and lower Values will

make the Drum sound less wet. A Value of 00 will leave the Drum

completely dry (no effects).

• To set the Effects Send Level, move the cursor beneath the Parameter

Value and adjust the send amount to taste with the Value encoder:

Output: MAIN L/R

Note:83 B4

FX Level: 70
