P2 The DRUM CHANNEL OVERRIDE Parameter
• This Parameter allows the DM Pro to respond to or transmit on up to
sixteen MIDI Channels simultaneously. The Parameter is called
“Drum Channel Override” because it has the ability to override the
Basic MIDI Channel setting (described in the previous topic) for each
Drum within the Drumkit. This is the parameter to use if you want
independent control of Volume, Panning, Pitch Bend, and Program
Changes for up to sixteen Drums or sets of Drums via MIDI.
• Be sure that the Drumkit on which you want to do your MIDI edits is
the currently selected Drumkit. To do this, follow the procedure on
page 2 of the Basic User Guide for calling up Drumkits.
• Once you have selected the proper Drumkit, press the [MIDI] button.
• To set a Drum to respond to a Channel other than the Basic MIDI
Channel, first select the desired Drum by using one of the two
procedures described in the section called “How to Change a Drum
Within a Drumkit.” Then move the cursor beneath the word BASIC and
turn the Value encoder to select the desired MIDI Channel for that

MIDI Program Change Commands
Drumkits
Each of the 64 Drumkits in the DM Pro is considered a “Program” in MIDI.
To change from one Drumkit to another via MIDI, send a Program Change
command on the DM Pro’s Basic Channel (see “P1 The Basic MIDI
Channel Parameter” on the previous page).
Since there are 64 “Programs” (Drumkits) in the DM Pro (00 through 63)
and MIDI allows for 128 Program numbers (00 through 127), the DM Pro
will ignore Program Change commands 64 through 127 on the Basic
Channel.
Drums
Any Drum within a Drumkit which has its Drum Channel Override
parameter set to something other than BASIC can respond to both MIDI
Bank Select and Program Change messages. Each Drum Group has 128
Drums, so the Program Change response range is 0-127. Bank Select
messages of 0 will call up the Acoustic Kicks Drum Group, followed by a
