The Orange functions are:
SOUND: when pressed the display shows the actual drum sound for the selected element between 1 and 5.
UNO Drum has 6 analog sound and 54 PCM sounds. That means that each element has 5 different sound to
tweak. To select a sound for an element, select the element then SOUND and use the DATA ENCODER to select
between the 5 possible sounds.
KIT: when pressed the display shows the actual selected KIT between 1 and 100. A KIT is a combination of
sounds, sound types (if analog or PCM) and their relative values, meaning that the KIT stores also the Element
parameters. Kits can be recalled by pressing KIT and selecting the kit number via the DATA ENCODER or via the
MIDI Program Change.
PATTERN: when pressed the display shows the actual selected PATTERN between 1 and 100. A pattern is the
composition of all the single element patterns. A pattern length can be from 1 to 64 steps and is determined by
the LENGTH function. All elements shares the same pattern length. To select a pattern press PATTERN and use
the DATA ENCODER to select between the 100 available patterns.
SONG: when pressed the display will show “SNG” to indicate song mode is active. In Song mode it is possible
to chain up to 64 patterns, determined with the LENGTH function between 1 and 64. When the chain is active,
the steps of the sequencer become the patterns to chain. By default, the patterns are empty. Holding the step
gives the possibility to enter the pattern number to insert in the step.
• To insert a pattern, hold the step. The display will show the pattern number inserted (default is “- - -“
meaning no pattern is insert) and to modify use the DATA ENCODER. When the step is released, the
display will show “SNG” again.
• To delete a selection, press the steps again. To cancel an entire chain, hold CLEAR and press SONG.
When clear is pressed the display will show “CLR” blinking 3 times.
ALT: When the button is LIT and active the pads are bypassed and not playing or selecting the elements,
instead the last 4 pads on the right (Ride, Cymbal, Open Hat and Clap) will select the alternate functions:
• MIDI CH (Ride pad): select the MIDI channels of the unit between 1 and 16 using the data encoder. On the
first selection, the Orange LED is lit and is selecting the MIDI in channel; the display will show an “i.” and
the number of the channel. Press the pad a second time and the LED will become orange, the display will
show an “O.” and the selected MIDI OUT channel. For UNO Drum the default channels are both 10.
• SYNC (Cymbal Pad): set the MIDI CLOCK settings - default is Internal (INT), but with the DATA ENCODER it
will toggle between external MIDI (EXT) and external USB (USB).
• PAD VEL (Open HH pad): this function enables or disables the 2 velocity sections of the pads. By default, it
is set to send fixed value of 127, and when ON it will send HIGH velocity at 127 and LOW velocity at 100.
• METRONOME (Clap Pad): Activate the metronome during the recording. Using the DATA ENCODER it is
possible to select between “OFF”, “ON”, or “PLY”. OFF means the metronome is off in all situations. ON
means the metronome is on and hearable only when in real-time recording. PLY means the metronome
is always on, both in real-time recording and in Playback. The metronome is also affected by the division
chosen for a pattern.
• TEMPO KNOB LOCK: holding ALT and pressing the TAP TEMPO will lock the TEMPO Knob, this means
that it will only be possible to use the tempo knob when holding the TAP TEMPO. Repeat the operation to
