the trigger inputs of these two voices are linked. You can still feed them with two different trigger
sources, or simply with one source. By setting the controls carefully this allows N2 and P1 to be used
together to simulate a snare drum.
USAGE WITH A SEQUENCER
As noted above, the Delptronics Triggerman or ALM Pamela's Workout sequencers are recommended.
The D-2000 was tested with each of them installed in the front-panel space and powered from the
internal power supply, and they worked properly. We found the Triggerman slightly easier to set up and
use, although this is a matter of personal preference.
The modules are mounted in the space using the common M3 screws usually provided with Euro
modules. The screw holes are pre-tapped for M3 screws. Just install as shown.
The photos below show how the D-2000's internal power cable connects to the Triggerman and
Pamela's Workout. Both of these modules use 10-pin plugs, and the cable has a 16-pin connector, so 6
of the connector pins will “hang off” the end of the module's power header.
Be very sure the bottom
two holes on the connector, next to the stripe on the cable, go to the “-12v”, “-V” or “RED HERE
PLEASE” pins on the module's power connector. Ðo not screw this up, or you might damage the
sequencer!
The trigger outputs connect to the “trig in” jacks on the D-2000 voices. You will need either four or five
3.5mm mono patch cords, depending on use of the LINK switch. Any of the outputs on the sequencer
can be connected to any of the “trig in” jacks, in any arrangement desired. This also allows for
programming different rhythms on all the channels and changing to a different sequence simply by
moving the patch cord.
As for setting up the sequencers, that is dependent on the manufacturer's instructions for them.
Please read them carefully and understand them before programming the sequencer to run the D-2000.
Both the Triggerman and Pamela's Workout have programmable settings for pulse output length; take
advantage of these settings to get the best performance from the voices. Again, RTFM and don't jump
blindly into anything.
MAINTENANCE
The tubes are being run conservatively, and should last for many, many years. You WILL NOT
need a new set of tubes for a long time, if the D-2000 is treated carefully and used in a
conservative fashion. Do NOT rush around looking for spares immediately. Do NOT listen to
guitar amp “tech gurus”. They know very little, and have never seen this circuit before.
Please, we beg you, check with us BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID. Thank you.
