POWER-ON DEFAULT CONDITIONS When Drumtraks power is switched on, the Drumtraks is in MIDI Mode 1 (OMNI On/MONO Off). The Basic Channel remains where it was last set, unaffected by power being switched off.(Drumtraks are set to channel 15 at the factory.) "Pads Out" and the external clock input are initially disabled, and can be enabled with front panel controls. "HIDDEN" FUNCTIONS ( Software versions 0_4 & 0_5 ) * Clear All Memory * Hold [7],[8],[9],[INC],[DEC],[FASTER] and [SLOWER]. * Enable External Clock Input * Hold both [TEMPO] switches. Press [ENTER]. This selects 24 ppq clock input rate, lighting the far right decimal point. If desired, press [DEC] once for 48 ppq, or twice for 96 ppq. Each time [DEC] is pressed, the lit decimal point moves left one digit. * Enable MIDI Clock Input * Hold both [TEMPO] switches. Press [ENTER]. Press [DEC] three times. This lights the decimal point between the two left display digits. * Disable External or MIDI Clock Input * Hold both [TEMPO] switches. Press [ENTER]. * Enable "Pads Out" * Hold [ENTER]. Press 4. Manually play the drums you want transmitted over MIDI. If, when "Pads Out" is enabled, drums are played either manually or during pattern playback, "note on" and "note off" MIDI data is transmitted on the Basic Channel. If another Drumtraks receives this data, it plays the same drums. If, on the other hand, a synthesizer receives this data, it plays notes corresponding to the drums played. * Disable "Pads Out" Hold [ENTER]. Press 5. * Select MIDI Mode 1 (OMNI On/MONO Off) * Hold [ENTER]. Press 6. When in Mode 1, the Drumtraks transmits Note On/Off data on the Basic Channel, and receives MIDI data from all 16 channels. * Select MIDI Mode 3 (OMNI Off/MONO Off) * Hold [ENTER]. Press 9. When in Mode 3, the Drumtraks transmits and receives MIDI Note On/Off data and mode change commands on the Basic Channel only. * Change Basic Channel * Hold [ENTER]. Press 0. Press [INC] or [DEC] to raise or lower the Basic Channel. The Basic Channel only affect Note On/Off data when "Pads Out" is enabled. ******************** _/\_ "We have sought for firm ground and found none. * Antony Balcerzak * _\ /_ The deeper we penetrate, the more restless * tekpagan@io.org * \_ _/ becomes the universe; all is rushing about ******************** || and vibrating in a wild dance."
