The DM Pro operates in three basic Modes:
DRUMKIT MODE
This is where you will spend 99% of your time with the DM Pro. Drumkit Mode is
where you select individual Drums, change their volumes, their panning, their
tuning and their MIDI and output assignments. Drumkit Mode also contains all of
the Effects Functions. The DM Pro has 64 Drumkits. To enter or return to Drumkit
Mode at any time, press [KIT].
DRUM EDIT MODE
This is where you edit the parameters which make up an individual Drum. Each
Drum is made up of four Sounds, and each Sound has its own unique parameters.
Drum Edit Mode is for advanced operation only, and it is substantially more
complex than any of the other modes. There are 128 User Drum locations where you
can store your edited Drums. To enter or return to Drum Edit Mode, press [DRUM]
and then [EDIT].
TRIGGER MODE
This is where you adjust the parameters for the trigger input section, including
Trigger Note Assignment, Gain, Threshold, Crosstalk and Sequence Commands.
Trigger Mode contains four Trigger Setups which are stored independently of
Drumkits or Drums. To enter or return to Trigger Mode, press [TRIG].
