Vermona DRM1 MKIII, User Manual

MIDI Functions

The DRM1 MKIII receives MIDI notes including corresponding velocity data. This way, the sound 
can be played dynamically. Other MIDI data such as controller data are not processed.

Setting  the  MIDI-channel  and  note  number  for  an 

individual instrument channel

1.  Press the 

TRIG

 button 

②

 of the corresponding instrument channel while switching the unit 

on. Hold the button for about three seconds until the sound and the corresponding LED is 
triggered. The DRM1 MKIII has now entered learn mode

2.  Now, send a MIDI note number to the unit, e.g. by pressing a note on a connected keyboard. 

The note number and the MIDI-channel used will be learned by this instrument channel. The 
DRM1 MKIII automatically and immediately jumps into normal play mode.

Repeat these steps for each instrument channel if needed. This way you may play the DRM1 MKIII’s 
sound on different MIDI-channels.

Setting  the  MIDI-channel  and  note  numbers  for  all 

instrument channels

1.  Press any two 

TRIG

 buttons 

②

 while switching the unit on. Hold the buttons for about three 

seconds until both instrument channels and its corresponding LEDs are triggered. The DRM1 
MKIII has now entered learn mode.

2.  Now, send a sequence of eight note numbers to the unit, e.g. by pressing notes on a 

connected keyboard. All note numbers and the MIDI-channel used for transmission will be 
learned. 
 
The first transmitted note number refers to the DRM MKIIIs 

KICK

 instrument channel. Its 

TRIG LED will shortly light up and the sound will be triggered. This confirms the saving of the 
note number for 

KICK

. The DRM1 MKIII now automatically advances to the next instrument 

channel:
