Vermona DRM1 MK4 - DRM1 MKIV MULTI Channel Guide

To Table of Content
WAVE is a mix control that continuously sweeps the oscillator waveform from sine-wave
to square-wave. Here, the sound changes from soft to edgier. At higher values, the
sound will start to get increasingly overdriven and distorted. The interaction bet-
ween WAVE and the FM parameters will produce a wide range of timbres for various
types of percussion sounds.

MULTI contains three oscillators, each sporting a wide tuning range. This makes for an amazing
variety and scope of tones, ranging from bass drums and toms, to cowbells and other metallic-
sounding percussion, to far-out sound effects.
DECAY determines the duration of the sound.
PITCH sets the fundamental pitch frequencies of all three oscillators.
BEND adjusts the modulation amount of the DECAY envelope, controlling pitch. When at
center position, no modulation will be audible. From the center position, turn clock-
wise to modulate pitch downwards. Turning the control counterclockwise from the
center position will invert modulation, resulting in ascending pitch.
ATTACK adds a short xed-level transient spike to the initial attack phase of a sound to make
it extra punchy. Always adjust ATTACK in correlation with the complete mix.
PITCH 2 sets the pitch/frequency of the second oscillator. Changing PITCH will always chan-
ge the frequency of PITCH 2, too. PITCH 2 can be independently adjusted to make
it sound lower than the rst oscillator. Turning PITCH 2 fully counterclockwise will
shut off the second oscillator completely.
PITCH 3 sets the pitch/frequency of the third oscillator. It works the same way as the
PITCH 2 control works with the second oscillator.
HIGHPASS adjusts the cutoff frequency of an additional high-pass lter. It allows attenuating
bass frequencies of the sound if so required. The effect the lter has depends on the
pitch of the sound. When PITCH 2/3 are set beyond the 9 o’ clock position, the effect
of the high-pass lter will hardly be noticeable.
