DRUM MODULE OPERATION
FRONT MIXER PANEL
Faders:
The front panel faders control 3 banks of real-time adjustments
to the current kit sound.
These are global real time controls for making on- the-fly
adjustments to the overall sound of the module. They do not
change the stored programming of the current kit. Instead, they
“non-destructively” reshape the sound of any kit you choose,
acting as temporary real-time modifications to the stored
settings.
For example if you are playing on stage and find the kick drum
is too loud, you can press the FADERS button to select the
3rd bank of fader functions (blue LED beside Kick will be lit),
and move the far left fader (labeled Kick) to set your preferred
volume for the kick.
Once you’ve made any adjustments, they will stay active and be
applied to any kit you select to play.
To clear all current fader-controlled adjustments hold the
FADERS button 3 seconds. All 3 banks of fader controls will
be “cleared” and all kits will then play with their unadjusted
programmed settings.
Bank 1: Tuning, Filter, Shape, EQ - HI, EQ - Low
Tuning will globally lower/raise the pitch of the kit.
Filter will apply a Low pass filter to the kit sound, cutting high
frequencies.
Shape dampens the sound of the kit to reduce the decay time.
The available settings are Tight, Normal and Loose.
EQ - HI will boost or reduce high frequencies.
EQ -Low will boost or reduce low frequencies.
Bank 2: Ride, Tom 4, Crash 2, Accompaniment, Click
Adjust the output volumes of each of these Kit elements, or
adjust the Song/Accompaniment level.
Bank 3: Kick, Snare, Toms, Hi Hat and Crash
Adjust the output volumes of each of these Kit elements.
