the assignment. The DRM1 MKIV now automatically advances to the next instrument channel 
DRUM 1. After that, DRUM 2, MULTI, SNARE, HI HAT 1, HI HAT 2 and finally CLAP will be 
assigned. When the assignment procedure has been completed, the DRM1 MKIV will 
automatically return to normal play mode. 
Alternatively, the assignment can be aborted at any time by pressing and holding down the

 of the CLAP. Instruments already assigned will stay stored in memory. 

Both methods allow assigning multiple instrument channels to the same MIDI note number. 
The respective note will trigger both instruments simultaneously.

☛

PLEASE NOTE

: Since HI HAT 1 and 2 can be double-triggered to generate an open 

as well as a closed hi-hat, they also require two different MIDI note numbers.

☛

Since both HI HAT instrument channels can generate two sounds (open and closed 
hi-hat), two different note numbers are assigned automatically to either HI HAT 
instrument channels. The note number transmitted to the HI HAT  instrument  
assigns the open hi-hat/cymbal sound. The closed hi-hat is automatically assigned 
to the note number two semitones (equals two MIDI notes) below the open hi-
hat. These note numbers should not be used for other instrument channels.
