MAJOR

FEATURES

OF

THE

DRM-1

The

DRM-1

digital

rhythm

module

incorporates

advanced

sound

generation

capabilities

in

a

compact

body

which

fits

into

a

1U

rack.

It

comes

with

a

wireless

controller

that

allows,

the

remote

player

to

control

most

of

the

functions

a

feature

which

is

verf

handy

for

a

drummer

playing

a

series

of

digital

drum

pads.

Along

with

a

PCM-quality

23-timbre

sound

source,

the

DRM-1

is

fully

compatible

with

the

timbre

library

for

the

DDD-1/5.

For

extended

sound

module

capabilities,

it

holds

up

to

four

memory

cards

in

its

slots:one

for

a

ROM

or

RAM

card

and

three

for

ROM

cards

only.

Internal

data

for

the

bass

drum,

toms,

and

other

sounds

use

12-bit

format,

which

improves

the

sound

quality

and

signal-to-noise

ratio.

This

enhanced

interface

is

fully

compatible

with

MIDI

sound

sources.

Not

only

does

it

serve

as

an

add-on

sound

module

for

other

rhythm

machines,

but

the

DRM-1

also

accepts

program

change

commands

for

switching

voice

settings,

responds

to

real-time

message

inputs,

and

handles

system

exclusive

messages

for

data

exchange

with

external

equipment.

It

also

has

a

MIDI

driver

which

converts

audio

signals

into

MIDI

data.

The

multiple

output

port

lets

you

fine-tune

the

output

by

feeding

different

timbres

to

separate

effectors.

The

pan-pot

function

can

set

the

independent

sounds

in

up

to

seven

positions

across

the

stereo

range.

A

full-featured

dynamics

function

allows

output

volume

control to

match

the

j

velocity

in

use.

To

make

rhythm

expression

control

highly

versatile,

velocity

JIJ

and

key

numbers

are

used

to

change

the

tuning,

decay,

dynamics

response

and

pan

settings

for

the

individual

sound

sources.

The

DRM-1

has

a

dedicated

rhythm

module

sequencer

for

real-time

input

and

real-time

editing.

This

feature

not

only

provides

responsive

control

for

twin

drums,

one-touch

fill-ins,

drums

plus

percussion

and

other

live

performance

techniques,

but

also

allows

quick

recording

and

playback

in

rehearsals.

The

DRM-1

is

highly

flexible

in

handling

input

from

digital

drum

pads,

audio

equipment,

and

any

other

MIDI-compatible

sound

sources,

while

generating

sound

quality

that

is

characteristic

of

the

source.

that

allows

access

to

all

programmable

functions.

Once

the

Outline

of

Remote

Parameter

Control

A

number

of

DRM-1

functions

are

roughly

broken

down

into

the

following

three

categories,

which

represent

the

corresponding

remote

control

unit

keypads:

the

SET

TING

group

to

set

up

sound

data

for a drum

set,

the

PATTERN

group

to

record

and

play

back

rhythm

patterns

(sequencer),

and

other

group

of

keypads

used

to

control

the

SETTING,

PATTERN,

and

all

other

DRM-1

parameters.

The

third

group

consists

of

three

keypads:

the

SYSTEM

group

to

determine

the

way

the

DRM-1

controls

ex

ternally

connected

equipment,

the

MIDI

group

to

con

trol

input/output

operations,

and

the

DATA

TRANS

FER

group

to

allow

data

exchange

across

the

DRM-1

interface.

These

keypads

allow

instant

access

to

values,

parameters,

and

other

current

settings,

which

can

be

changed

with

the

CURSOR

control

and

VALUE

keys.

Selecting

the

PHASE

Parameter

The

DRM-1

is

capable

of

assigning

the

same

timbre

to

multiple

voices.

This

function

allows a single

drum

pad

or a key

(MIDI

to

simultaneously

use

two

or

more

timbres.

The

DRM-1

also

..allows

Editing

the

Timbre

Data

Besides

defining

the

sixteen

voice

settings,

the

SETTING

group

also

allows

detailed

control

of

the

timbre

assigned

to

each

voice.

When

two

voices

are

assigned

the

same

timbre,

for

example,

changing

the

tuning

or

decay

para

meter

of

either

will

produce

the

effect

of

two

different

instruments.

Setting

Up

the

Control

Parameters

The

DRM-1

allows

velocity

or

keynote

numbers

to

vary

the

settings

for

tune,

decay,

output,

and

dynamics

response

parameters

within

the

corresponding

pre

defined

ranges.

Such

parameters

are

called

"control

parameters"

when

controlled

by

the

velocity

or

keynote

numbers.

When

a setting

screen

is

on

the

display

after

pressing a SETTING

group

key,

pressing

the

same

key

a

second

time

allows

access

to

the

control

parameter.

Pressing

the

same

key

returns

the

display

to

the

A

control

parameter

may

be

set

to

"Velocity"

or

"Note/

PDL".

When

playing

the

drum

pads,

setting

the

control

parameter

to

the

"Velocity"

produces

the

effects

of an

acoustic

instrument.

When

using

the

drum

pads

with

the

DRM-1,

you

may

wish

to

add a foot

controller

(EXP-2)

to

vary

the

control

parameters

because

the

drum

pads

themselves

do

not

send

out

keynote

numbers.

The

POT

jack

on

the

rear

panel

accepts

the foot

controller

input.

Velocity

indicates

the

intensity

of

sound

produced

when

you

hit

the

drum

pad

or a key.

Changing

the

touch

on

the

drum

pad

or a key

therefore

varies

the

values

for

tuning,

decay,

output,

and

dynamics

response.

As

an

example

for

tuning,

an

increase

in

velocity

pro

duces

an

effect

which

makes

the

pitch

sound

higher

(or

lower).

Keynote

Number

Keynote

numbers

indicate

the

positions

on a keyboard.

In

other

words,

the

values

for

tuning,

decay,

output,

and

dynamics

response

vary

from

one

key

to

another.

On a MIDI

keybaord,

the

control

parameters

function

within

the

predefined

note

number

range.

For

the

value

of

tune,

for

example,

the

higher

the

keynote

number,

the

higher

(or

lower)

the

resulting

pitch. A foot control

ler

also

produces a similar

effect:

The

pitch

becomes

higher

(or

lower)

as

the

pedal

approaches

the

end

of

its

stroke.

Original

and

Top

Notes

Each

voice

handles

MIDI

notes

within

an octave

starting

from

an

original

note

specified

by

the

user. A top

note,

which

indicates

the

limit

of

note

number

range,

must

stay

within

the

octave

(twelve-step

chro

matic

starting

from

The

voice

does

not

respond

to

any

notes

outside

EDITING

THE

PARAMETERS

2

{PATTERN

GROUP)

Outline

of

Operation

In

addition

to

the

capabilities

for a drum

sound

source

module,

the

DRM-1

incorporates

the

functions

of

a

digital

sequencer.

While

the

SETTING

group

provides

editing

facilities

for

sound

parameters,

the

PATTERN

group

allows

access

to

all

sequencer

functions.

The

built-in

sequencer

accepts

data

from

drum

pads

or

a

MIDI

keybaord.

It

employs a real-time

input

system

which

allows

saving

rhythm

pattern

data

with the

ease

of

a

tape

recorder.

Any

changes

may

be

made

to

pattern

data

in

memory

by

means

of

punch-in,

punch-out,

or

overdubbing.

The

DRM-1

stores

pattern

data

for

up

to

sixteen

songs,

together

with

user-defined

titles.

RAM

cards

are

availa

ble

as

external

storage

options.

Location

Display

The

location

field

of

the

display

shows

the

progress

of

a

tune

being

recorded

or

played

back.

The

reading

ap

pears

in a four-digit

value

starting

from

0000,

which

corresponds

to

the beginning

of a tune.

Unlike

the

tape

counter

on a tape

recorder,

the

readout

pace

varies

with

the

tempo

of a tune

because

it

always

advances

in

increments

of a quarter

note.

In a quarter-measure

tune,

for

example,

the

reading

advances

in

increments of

four

(0004)

per

measure,

which

is

equivalent

in

value

to

four

quarter

notes.

Changing

the

Location

When

rhythm

pattern

data

is

inactive,

the

SELECT

PATTERN

screen allows

changing

from

one

location

to

the

other

as

long

as

the

readout

remains

on

the

display.

The

explains

how

because

the

DRM-1

is

STOP

The

function

of

the

is

two-fold:

inserting

a

pause

during

the

of

the

built-in

sequencer

or

initializing

the

location

count

to

0000.

Pressing

the

STOP

key

during

sequencer

operation

causes a pause

in

the

current

location.

Because

this

does

not

cause a reset,

pressing

the

START

starts

the

sequencer

operation

from

the

point

where

it

was

interrupted.

(Continue,

A

jack

functions

as a tap

tempo

switch.

Depressing

the

switch

as

many

times

as

the

number

of

assign

ed

to

the

introduction

automatically

sets

the

tempo,

then

starts

the

pattern.

The

DRM-1

checks

the

last

two

strokes

of

the

toot

switch

to

determine

the

length

of a quarter

tone

it

will

use

independent

Depressing

the foot

Overdubbing

is~a

technique

that

allows

addition of

new

rhythm

patterns

in

time

to

the

being

played

back.

It

is

used

for

correcting

rhythm

pattern

errors,

adding

snare

and

cymbal

sounds

to

prerecorded

bass

drum

patterns,

and

other

such

possibilities.

The

operating

procedure

is

essentially

the

same

as

that

for

recording.

Set

the

location

to

the

part

where

overdubbing

will

start,

set

up,

if

necessary,

the

tempo,

resolution,

and

other

parameters,

then

press

the

START

key.

To

interrupt

overdubbing,

press

the

STOP

key.

If

the

repeat

control

is

on,

playback

will

be

repeated

until

the

STOP

key

is

pressed.

Setting

the

location

one

or

to

bars

before

makes

it

easier

to

start

in

time.

RESOLUTION

On

resolution

indicates

the

number

of

rhythm

segments

definable

per

increment

in

location

count,

which

is

equivalent

in

duration

to a quarter

note.

A

resolution

of

1/2,

for

example,

indicates

half

the

duration of

a

quarter

note

so

that

the

minimum

defina

ble

timing

is

equivalent

to

an

eighth

note.

When

resolution

is

changed,

the

DRM-1

automatically

adjusts

timing

control

for

all

prerecorded

rhythm

patterns.

This

feature,

for

example,

allows

separate

recording

control

for

each

part

using

low

resolution

(1/2

to

1/4)

for

simple

patterns

of

the

bass

drum,

and

high

resolution

(1/12

for

of

the

snare

drum

and

At a low

the

automatically

compensates

(DMA

TRANSFER

GROUP)

The

DATA

TRANSFER

group

allows

the

DRM-1

to

exchange

memory

contents

such

as

rhythm

patterns

and

parameter

settings

with a RAM

card

and

other

external

MIDI

equipment.

The

Figure

below

shows

how

the

DRM-1

transfers

data,

which

is

always

sent

in

units

of

data

assigned

to pattern

or

setting

number

00

to

15.

The

DATA

TRANSFER

group

also

provides a function

for a system

reset,

which

returns

the

memory-resident

settings

to

the

default

values.

Initiating

a

system

reset

deletes

all

data

for

rhythm

patterns

or

parameter

settings.

Be

sure

to

back

up

the

necessary

data

before a system

reset.
