⑪ ☛ The fuse holder of the power connector is equipped with an active and a replacement fuse. Check the active fuse if the DRM1 MKIII shouldn't work anymore and replace it by the second fuse if required. ⚠ Unplug the power lead before opening the fuse holder. If you are unconfident... -
Page 10: The Sound Generation
Japan. The DRM1 MKIII has a lot to offer. It covers many aspects of those classic units but also a lot more. But one thing can certainly be said. The DRM1 MKIII is all original and not a clone, trying to reproduce 8 or 9 classic sounds. -

The first half of the control allows DECAY creating tight kick drums for dance music. - Page 12 This will support the bass ATTACK drum’s assertiveness. Like NOISE, set ATTACK in correlation to the complete mix. What might appear too intrusive when being soloed might already sound too gentle within a full mix. User Guide DRM1 MKIII...

DRUM 1/DRUM 2 Figure 4: DRUM 1 instrument channel - DRUM 1 and DRUM 2 are identical The two DRUM instrument channels are built identically. These are meant to create toms, percussions and metallic sounds but can also produce bass drums differing in character to KICK. Thanks to two available channels you may either create two completely different sounds or create sound pairs such as low and hi toms or congas. -
Page 14: Multi
MULTI Figure 5: MULTI instrument channel of the DRM1 MKIII MULTI contains three oscillators with broad tuning ranges. Because of this, the resulting sounds are very flexible, ranging from bass drums and toms to cowbells and other metallic percussions to sound effects. -
Page 15: Snare
The duty of the SNARE instrument channel is apparent. However, due to its various parameters, the DRM1 MKIII’s snare drum is a lot more changeable than you might guess from previous analogue drum machines. The sound is build up from different components: noise, a needle impulse, a resonance filter and a pseudo reverb. -
Page 16: Hi Hat 1/Hi Hat 2
HI HAT 1/HI HAT 2 Figure 7: HI HAT 1 instrument channel of the DRM1 MKIII - HI HAT 1 and HI HAT 2 are identical These two instrument channels are meant to create hi-hats but also cymbal sounds. Achieve a broad spectrum of cymbals, percussions and sound effects on a basis of filtered noise and a metallic oscillator mixture. - Page 17 - either as cymbal/open hi-hat or as closed hi-hat. The closed hi- ② hat has a fixed, short decay time, independent of the DECAY control. After switching on the DRM1 MKIII, the TRIG button defaults to trigger the ② cymbal/open hi-hat, with the sound’s length being defined by DECAY. To toggle the trigger-modes, press and hold TRIG for approx.

It allows attenuating HIGH PASS bass frequencies of the sound if needed. The filter’s effect is quite unobtrusive and more targeted to embed the clap sound into the DRM1 MKIII’s overall drum kit sound. User Guide DRM1 MKIII... -
Page 19: Midi Functions
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. -

Reset While in learn-mode, the DRM1 MKIII restores its factory defaults when no note numbers are received before switching the unit off. Factory Defaults... -
Page 21: Individual Outputs/Inserts
Individual Outputs/Inserts Each instrument channel offers a dedicated individual output/insert with a choice of possible applications. Crucial to the outputs’ function is the cable being used, or to be more exact, the pin- assignment of the connector being placed in the output jack. Use as individual output The OUT jack can be used as an individual out in two ways. -
Page 22: Use As Insert
You can purchase the DRM1 MKIII either with or without trigger-inputs. The 10 trigger-inputs allow triggering the DRM1 MKIII’s sound from an analogue sequencer. The unit will accept gate signals between 2 and 12 volts with a minimum length of 10 ms. -
