MIDI Map
The MIDI Map sub-menu allows the MIDI note assigned to each drum to be
re-assigned. Note that the same note is used both for TX and Rx. The defaults are:
Trigger Assign
There are three analog trigger outputs on the rear panel of the LM DRUM,
which can be assigned to trigger with specic drums. The defaults are:
But these can be changed in this sub-menu. Note that these settings are
Global only.
Bitcrusher
By default the LM DRUM sounds, and user samples (see SAMPLING below) are
made at 12 bit at a sample rate of 24 kHz. The bit crusher allows any of the
default sounds to have its bit rate changed in the range of 11 bit down to 1 bit.
With each reduction the sound of the drum becomes more grainy and distorted.
Metronome
The metronome submenu allows the metronome to be switched o, or to sound
on any number of beats between 1 and 9. The default setting is four beats.
Options
The options sub-menu controls various miscellaneous features of the LM DRUM:
• • Random Closed Hat (0-127) – allows the LM DRUM to randomize the sample
start point of the closed hi-hat, which allows for variations in its sound. Note
that this can only be used if the sample is set to play forwards.
• • Velocity THD (range 3 – 127, default 110) – when there is more than one
sample available (Bass, Snare, Closed Hi Hat, Ried Cymbal, Cabasa and
Tambourine) the setting of Velocity THD determines the velocity level at
which the sample switches from rst to second when using an external
MIDI controller.
• • Velo(city) Sens(itive) Pad (on / o (default)) - when Velo Sensitive Pad is
set to o the velocity of each pad is xed and sounds which have multiple
samples will change sample at specied points. When it is set to on the pads
are velocity sensitive, but will still switch samples as the velocity increases.
• • Chromatic MIDI In – allows an external MIDI keyboard to play or program
tunable sounds chromatically (see Chromatic Programming and Playing in
the PROGRAMMING section).
• • Sample Record Mode – the LM DRUM’s record mode can be changed
between AGC (Automatic Gain Control (default)) where the gain is
automatically controlled; NOR (Normalized) where samples will be adjusted
to the highest gain setting after sampling (note: if you sample at too low
a level then noise may be introduced) or RAW where the sample data is
left unprocessed.
• • Auto Save (on (default)/o) – allows the LM DRUM to periodically save
your work. Cautionary note: even if Auto Save is switched on it is still
good practice to regularly save what you are doing while programming
and/or sampling.
• • Beep On (on/o (default)) – turns the metronome sound used for real-time
programming on or o.
• • LCD Brightness (range 1 – 15, default 11) – sets the brightness of the display.
• • LED Brightness (range 1 – 10, default 7) – sets the brightness of the LEDs,
including those in the buttons.
