VERSION since V1.00
MASTER Menu
After switching on, the MASTER menu is active (MASTER button lights up) and the
Autoload-KIT has been loaded automatically. The number of this KIT can be set in the
SETUP menu on the “KIT AUTO LOAD” page. The value is automatically saved when exi-
ting the SETUP menu.
There are currently only two values in the MASTER menu: "Level" for the overall volume
of the L-R MAIN output and "Morph" for morphing the entire KIT between the Aand B set-
tings of the instruments. The values are part of the drum KIT data and are stored toget-
her in the KIT.
MENU structure
Above the bottom row of buttons are the names of the 8 main menus. Select the menu
directly with the buttons (FIRE must be switched off).
Menu 1 for global settings/functions (eg. MIDI)
Menus 2-4 for editing the instruments of the drum KIT
Menus 5-8 for live jamming and audio settings.
In the first four menus, the basic settings of the device (setup) and the KIT data (editing
of the 8 instruments) are programmed (A,B,CV). The 4 right-hand menus 5-8 contain the
panorama and level settings for the stereo output, the instrument morph page and the
master menu. You can also switch between all menus while playing.
PAGE (select submenu)
The main menus can have further sub-menus (pages), which you can step through with
the PAGE key. For example, in the VOLUME menu on the second page there is a sub-
menu “OUTP ASSIGN” for assigning the instrument's audio output. With the PAGE but-
ton you switch between two or more pages of the menu.
FIRE (Manually trigger instruments)
In menus 1 and 5-8 the 8 keys can be used to play the instruments of the 8 channels
directly with the keys. Press the FIRE button once (button flashes), now use the 8
lower buttons to trigger the instruments of the loaded KIT. To exit, press the FIRE but-
ton again (the button goes out).
In the edit menus A, B and CV you can manually trigger the currently selected instru-
ment directly with the FIRE button to hear changes in the sound (or if there is no exter-
nal sequencer for triggering).
SELECT (select instrument channel)
The instrument of the track is programmed in the edit menus A,B and CV. To change
the track, proceed as follows: Briefly press the SELECT button (button flashes). Then
press the channel button (bottom row 1-8) that you want to edit. The SELECT button
then goes out again and is in the same position of the previous menu, but in the newly
selected channel.
You can also switch on the SELECT function permanently, for example to check the
values of all channels more easily in the CV menu: Press the SELECT button until it
lights up continuously. Now you can go through the channels one after the other with
the keys 1-8. Only pressing the SELECT button again terminates the function.
