TOP PANEL FEATURES

1
1. VOLUME – Adjusts the volume level of the MAIN OUT.
2. PHONES – Adjusts the volume level of the PHONES OUTPUT on the module's
front panel. The PHONES volume is independent of the module's VOLUME.
3. PHONES OUTPUT – Connect your 1/4" headphones to this output. You can adjust the volume of this output with
the PHONES volume knob on the module's top panel.
4. MIXER – Slide these faders to adjust the levels for the different groups of drum sounds. Each fader controls a
drum sound in each bank. The current bank (A or B) is determined by the A/B SELECT button.
5. A/B SELECT – Toggles between Banks A and B, determining which bank of triggers the MIXER's faders are
affecting. An LED indicates the current bank. When neither LED is lit, these faders are disabled.
6. CLICK ON / OFF – Turns the CLICK on or off. You can adjust the click volume with the fader directly underneath
this button (when A/B SELECT is set to Bank B).
7. LCD – Displays system menus, parameters, and other settings as you use the RBM-20.
8. F-BUTTONS (1-4) – These buttons allow you to navigate the menus shown in the LCD. Press an
F-BUTTON to select the "virtual" button or tab shown above it in the LCD
9. CURSOR UP / DOWN – Use these buttons to move (vertically) through the available parameters shown in menus
in the LCD.
Note: Pressing CURSER DOWN/KIT CONFIG from the Main Screen allows you to adjust overall parameters for the
current Kit.
10. VALUE / TEMPO DIAL – Turn this wheel to increase and decrease values and settings shown in the LCD.
11. DEC- / INC+ – Use these buttons to decrease and increase values and settings shown in the LCD. These may
be easier to use than the VALUE / TEMPO DIAL when making incremental adjustments to your parameters.
12. EXIT – Press this button to return to the previous menu shown in the LCD.
13. KIT SELECT – Returns the LCD to the Main Screen. From here, you can select the current Kit with the VALUE /
TEMPO DIAL or DEC- / INC+ buttons.
14. UTILITIES – Enters the UTILITIES Menu, which allows you to set certain "global" parameters that affect the
RBM-20's overall operation (e.g., tempo, MIDI, output routing, trigger sensitivity, etc.). (See the Reference Manual for
more information.)
15. TRIG EDIT – Allows you to adjust parameters related to triggering. Customizing these parameters changes the
feel and responsiveness of the Kit.
Note: Changes to these parameters will affect ALL Kits.
16. PAD ID – Turns PAD ID on or off. When PAD ID is on, striking a trigger automatically selects it for editing.
Alternatively, you can select a trigger by highlighting the trigger field in the LCD with the CURSOR UP / DOWN
buttons then using the DEC- / INC+ buttons or VALUE / TEMPO DIAL.
17. DRUM/LAYER – Press this button then INST (F1) to edit the Instrument assigned to a trigger input. While
editing, pressing it toggles between the two Layers of the trigger. The current Layer (A or B) will be highlighted
on the top-right corner of the LCD.
