Outline of Operation
In addition to the capabilities for a drum sound source
module, the DRM-1 incorporates the functions of a
digital sequencer. While the SETTING group provides
editing facilities for sound parameters, the PATTERN
group allows access to all sequencer functions.
The built-in sequencer accepts data from drum pads or
a MIDI keybaord. It employs a real-time input system
which allows saving rhythm pattern data with the ease of
a tape recorder. Any changes may be made to pattern
data in memory by means of punch-in, punch-out, or
overdubbing.
The DRM-1 stores pattern data for up to sixteen songs,
together with user-defined titles. RAM cards are availa
ble as external storage options.
Location Display
The location field of the display shows the progress of a
tune being recorded or played back. The reading ap
pears in a four-digit value starting from 0000, which
corresponds to the beginning of a tune. Unlike the tape
counter on a tape recorder, the readout pace varies
with the tempo of a tune because it always advances in
increments of a quarter note.
In a quarter-measure tune, for example, the reading
advances in increments of four (0004) per measure,
which is equivalent in value to four quarter notes.
Changing the Location
When rhythm pattern data is inactive, the SELECT
PATTERN screen allows changing from one location
to the other as long as the readout remains on the
display. The following section explains how to change
the location with the PATTERN key.

Close up of Location Field
When the cursor is in the location field, the A and
T keys on the VALUE keypad move the current location
back and forth, respectively. The rate of increment
or decrement in reading varies with the cursor position
(X0, X1.X2, orX3).
1. Cursor in the X0 position
Holding down the ▲ key continues changing the loca
tion in increments of one; holding down theT key,
in decrements of one. The DRM-1 plays back the
tune as the value is changed. Decrementing the value
plays the data backwards, but timbres do not reverse.
A location lower than 0000 is used for recording an
introduction.
2. Cursor in the X1 position
The value changes in the manner just described, ex
cept that reverse playback is not available.
3. Cursor in the X2 position
Holding down the ▲ key continues changing the loca
tion in increments of four; holding down the Y key,
in decrements of four. For a quarter-measure tune,
the reading changes per bar line. Playback is not
available.
