Press [MIX], and the display shows the selected MIDI note number in the middle and
two parameters, Volume and Pan, on the top line.
To change the Volume, use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to place the cursor under the
Vol value and turn the [VALUE] knob. Values are variable from 00 to 99.
The DM5 has two pairs of stereo outputs. Drum sounds can be assigned to either
pair of outputs as described in the following section, and placed anywhere within
the stereo field of the assigned outputs via the pan function.
To change a drum's panning (position in the stereo field), use the [ ] and [ ]
buttons to place the cursor under the Pan value and turn the [VALUE] knob. The
seven available pan positions correspond to the number shown in parentheses: hard
left (<3), soft left (<2), left of center (<1), center (0), right of center (1>), soft right
(2>), and hard right (3>).
Note: When heard from the drummer's perspective, the high-hat will usually be on
the left, snare and kick in the center, and toms trailing from left-center to right. Of
course, one of the advantages of electronic drum sets is that you need not follow any
standard way of placing drum sounds in the stereo field.
