6.8 PAGE 8: SELECT DRUM SETS VIA MIDI PROGRAM CHANGES (PRG CHNG)
The display shows PRG CHNG. Program Change commands can change Drum Sets numbers
at any time, including while the IDM01 is playing. To have the IDM01 receive Program
Changes, use the INC/DEC buttons to select ON. Select OFF to have the IDM01 ignore
Program Changes.
Background Program Change (PC) 00 selects User Drum Set 00; PC 01 selects User Drum Set 01; PC 02
selects User Drum Set 02; etc. Caution! Some units number Program Changes as 1-128, others as 0-127, and
some as banks of programs. If the device generating Program Changes follows a non-standard protocol, it's a
good idea to make up a conversion chart that shows which Program Changes call up which Drum Sets.
Program Changes 00-49 select the 50 User Drum Sets. Program Changes 50-99 select Preset Drum Sets 00-49.
Program Changes 100-127 select User Drum Sets 00-27.
The current Pattern will remember whatever Drum Set is selected via Program Changes, just as if you had
selected it manually, unless the IDM01 is in Manual mode (described in Page 9 of the Drum Set menu).
If Program Change is enabled, and the IDM01 is in MULTI-DRUMSET mode (see section 6.9 below), and a
program change is received in the 00-49 range, the IDM01 will automatically select the drumset group
corresponding to the program change number. For example, if program 36 is received with the above conditions
met, the note map will change to drumset group 30-39.
6.9 PAGE 9: MAP DRUM NOTES (NOTE MAP)
Within each Pattern, MIDI notes can either be mapped to 12 different sounds in NORMAL mode,.or
they can be mapped to any of five drumset groups (User Drumsets 00-09, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, and 40-
49) in MULTI-DRUMSET mode. Any of these drumset groups can cover MIDI notes 000 through 119.
This makes the IDM01 ideal for use as a drum sound module, triggered by either an electronic drum kit
or set of electronic drum pads, or by notes from a sequencer.
Note that while in this mode, you cannot record notes into a Pattern via MIDI. It is assumed that you will
be using the IDM01 strictly as a drum sound expander module.
The chart on the following page shows which drum pads of which drum sets are triggered by which
MIDI notes. The logic to this assignment is that there are 12 drum pads per octave of notes, so pad 1
always starts on a C note (MIDI notes 000, 012, 024, 036, 048, 060, 072, 084, 096, and 108).
Remember that these drum assignments must be saved as Drum Sets in order to retain the note map
assignments.
