Trigger Inputs (optional)
The DRM1 MKIV is available with optional trigger inputs. If your DRM1 MKIV sports the trigger-in
option, please carry on reading.
The ten trigger inputs allow triggering the instrument channels of your DRM1 MKIV from a (usually
analog) trigger sequencer. The DRM accepts trigger signals between approx. 0.5V and 11V with a
minimum duration of 10 ms. The instrument channels HI HAT 1 and HI HAT 2 both sport two trigger
inputs – for open and closed hi-hat.
MIDI as well as analog triggers can be used simultaneously.
The analog trigger inputs can process dynamic triggers. That means, the incoming trigger levels
control the level of the sounds generated by the DRM1 MKIV. At the same time, the trigger signals
will be converted into MIDI note commands and velocity data, and transmitted via the MIDI Out
s
socket and USB port

only trigger signals converted into MIDI
data will be transmitted. The DRM1 MKIV itself will not generate any other MIDI
data.
Trigger Modes
The
TRIGGER-IN
sockets
y
at the back of the DRM1 MKIV can be disconnected from sound
generation. An incoming trigger signal will no longer trigger a sound but is still converted into a
MIDI note plus velocity data and transmitted via MIDI Out
s
and USB port

Press and hold the
TRIG
q
buttons of the instruments CLAP and DRUM 2 simultaneously to toggle
between on and off. The DRM1 MKIV will confirm the change of the setting by triggering DRUM 2
(Drum 2 will sound and its TRIG LED light up). The DRM1 MKIV will automatically return to normal
play mode.
When in trigger mode, the DRM1 MKIV provides various options to define the correlation between
trigger level and instrument level:
1. Press and hold the
TRIG
q
buttons of the instruments CLAP and MULTI simultaneously to
activate trigger mode. The DRM1 MKIV will confirm the change of the setting by triggering
MULTI (Multi will sound and its TRIG LED light up).
