Vermona DRM1 MK4 - DRM1 MKIV CLAP Channel Guide

To Table of Content
MIX controls the balance between the noisy component part and the detuned multiple
oscillator section. Turned fully counterclockwise, only the noise component will be
audible; turned fully clockwise, only the multiple oscillator section will be audible,
allowing more “authentic” cymbal sounds, thanks to its metallic-sounding charac-
ter.
PITCH denes the pitch/frequency of the oscillator mix as well as of the ATTACK transient
spike at the same time.
☛
HI HAT 1 and HI HAT 2 can be triggered in two ways, using the TRIG button
q
-
either as cymbal/open hi-hat or as closed hi-hat. The closed hi-hat has a xed
short decay time, independent of the DECAY control setting. After turning on the
DRM1 MKIV, the default setting of the TRIG button
q
is triggering the cymbal/
open hi-hat, with the duration of the sound being governed by the DECAY
control. To toggle between the trigger-modes, keep TRIG
q
depressed for approx.
one second. The corresponding LED will light up briey to conrm the mode of
operation.
When using MIDI, both sounds of these instrument channels – i. e. cymbal/open
hi-hat and closed hi-hat – can be played by two different MIDI notes which also
lets you alternate between open and closed hi-hat (see “MIDI Functions” on
page 19).
CLAP
Figure 8: CLAP instrument channel of the DRM1 MKIV
CLAP serves a clearly dened task – it simulates the clapping of several hands (but not necessarily
applause). Like SNARE, it also sports some sort of an electronic pseudo-reverb which, in this case,
is an integral part of the sound since it makes the claps sound a lot more authentic and natural. The
CLAP instrument channel also features a resonating lter component.
DECAY REV sets the duration of the reverb effect. The effect of this parameter will only be au-
dible with REVERB being active.
