BEFORE EDITING PARAMETERS
The DRM-1 operates in conjunction with the remote
control unit that allows access to all programmable
functions. Once the necessary parameters are set, the
remote player has full.control over ttje^DRM-1 func
tions except for the power switob a.n^yolume control.
On the front panel of the DRM-T is the REMOTE CON
TROL switch used to disable remote control to prevent
wireless signal interference when there is more than one
DRM-1 unit positioned side by side. Always check that
the switch is on before starting operation.
Outline of Remote Parameter Control
A number of DRM-1 functions are roughly broken down
into the following three categories, which represent the
corresponding remote control unit keypads: the SET
TING group to set up sound data for a drum set, the
PATTERN group to record and play back rhythm
patterns (sequencer), and other group of keypads used
to control the SETTING, PATTERN, and all other
DRM-1 parameters.
The third group consists of three keypads: the SYSTEM
group to determine the way the DRM-1 controls ex
ternally connected equipment, the MIDI group to con
trol input/output operations, and the DATA TRANS
FER group to allow data exchange across the DRM-1
interface.
These keypads allow instant access to values, parameters,
and other current settings, which can be changed with
the CURSOR control and VALUE keys.
Message Format and Basic Edit Commands
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is sixteen columns by
two lines wide. Use the rear panel CONTRAST knob to
adjust the character legibility.

When the POWER switch is turned on. the DRM-1 dis
plays information in this format after a sign-on message.
(The exact setting number and name may be different,
depending on the settings in effect the last time the
power was turned off.)
Every parameter is set to whatever value is stored in
memory.
The
parameters are, for example, set for
demonstration at time of shipment.
The process of
changing
or correcting
parameters
is
referred to as
"editing".
Usually, the upper half of the display shows the para
meter selected; the lower half, the values currently
assigned to that parameter.
(Some messages display the
value assigned to a parameter in the upper half of the
display.)
The underscore appearing immediately below a character
is called a "cursor", which indicates the data field which
may be changed. The CURSOR control keys move the
cursor across the display.
Place the cursor under the
parameter you wish to edit, then press the VALUE keys
to enter a new value. The new value specified in this
manner may be set to default with the system reset
command. (See page 6 for details.)
EDITING THE PARAMETERS 1
<SETTING GROUP)
Voice is a parameter segment that defines sound gener
ation, for which the DRM-1 allows access to sixteen such
segments.
(The voicing capacity for simultaneous out
put is twelve notes.)
Along with the built-in timbre
data, each voice segment is fully compatible with any
of the ROM cards for the DDD-1/5.
The
SETTING
group
specifies the
instrument type,
pitch,
volume,
MIDI
transmit/receive channels,
and
other settings which each voice segment will control.
The DRM-1 alone can store up to sixteen such settings,
each consisting of sixteen voice segments with or with
out a user-defined name.
