SYNCUSSION DRM 1
User Manual
We would like to thank you for purchasing our ANALOG DRUM MAC INE SYNCUSSION DRM 1.
To get the best results out of this extraordinary unit we would like to ask you first of all to read this user manual very carefully.
Your DRM 1 has following sound channels: DRUM1, DRUM2, DRUM3, MULTI, SNARE, CYMBAL, I AT and CLAP.
You have the facilities to create the most versatile and unique drum sounds that you have ever heard befor. erefore you have 7
controls per channel for individual settings. By using the triggerknobs or via MIDI keyboard you can trigger each sound
individually. The triggerknobs use a constant velocity of ¾, whereas using MIDI the unit will accept the velocity of the
keyboard. MIDI channel and keynumbers can be set individually. Each channel has extra settings for panorama and volume.
The audio signal can be taken from the individual outputs of every channel. On the front of the DRM 1 you have a MASTER
volume control and the headphone output. Please use a headphone with 40 Ohm.
On the rear of the unit you find the connectors: AC, MIDI IN and MIDI T RU, OUT LEFT and OUT RIG T.
To connect the DRM 1 with power please use an adapter with 12V AC / 800mA. The LED an the frontpannel will indicate if
the unit is ready to use. Please note: There is no switch for power on/off !
CONTROLS and KNOBS
DRUM1,2,3
TRIGGER Triggers the sound with constant velocity of ¾

PITC 2 Pitch 2nd sound, 0 = no 2nd sound
PITC 3 Pitch 3rd sound, 0 = no 3rd sound
IG PASS Frequency of the high pass filter
PAN Controls the balance LEFT/RIG T of the sound
VOLUME Value of the output signal
SNARE
TRIGGER Triggers the sound with constant velocity of ¾
DECAY REV. Decay of the reverb
REVERB Release of the reverb
DECAY N. Decay of the noise
NOISE Value of the noise
ATTACK Value of the attack to the sound
RESONANCE Resonance of the filter
FILTER Frequency of the filter
PAN Controls the balance LEFT/RIG T of the sound
VOLUME Value of the output signal
CYMBAL / I AT

TRIGGER Triggers the sound with constant velocity of ¾
DECAY Controls the decay (length) of the triggered sound
FILTER Frequency of the filter
BEND Value of the ADSR (decay) on the pitch - Mid position = 0
ATTACK Value of the attack to the sound
RESONANCE Resonance of the filter
MIX Controls the mix between noise and tone
IG PASS Frequency of the high pass filter
PAN Controls the balance LEFT/RIG T of the sound
VOLUME Value of the output signal
CLAP
TRIGGER Triggers the sound with constant velocity of ¾
DECAY REV Decay of the reverb
REVERB Release of the reverb

VOLUME Value of the output signal
MIDI CONTROL
The factory setting of your DRM 1 is MIDI channal 10 and set to following key notes:
DRUM1 41 (F) DRUM2 48 (c) DRUM3 36 (C)
MULTI 58 (b) SNARE 40 (E) CYMBAL 51 (dis)
I AT OPEN 44 (GIS) I AT CLOSED 42 (FIS) CLAP 39 (DIS)
As you can see, MIDI decides the difference between I AT CLOSED and OPEN.
If you wish a different setting, please proceed as follows:
1) old any TRIG knob whilst connecting power.
2) The next key note sent by your MIDI controller (keyboard i.e.) will be accepted by the DRM 1 as new tone combination
for DRUM1, the next for DRUM2, the third for DRUM3 and so on until the eight for CLAP and memorized. I AT
CLOSED will always be automatically set internally two numbers beneath I AT OPEN.
PRECAUTIONS
Moisture, dust and heat, like in vehicles do not agree with electric devices.
Please avoid storing or using the unit in these places.
The unit should not be taken apart or modified.
Do not forget to take plug out of the socket when not using the unit for a longer period.
