ZMC-200 Manual Rev2.0
Owners of the ZETA SYNTHONY have the option of programming drum
sequences that can be accessed in PRESET MODE using the hold pedal. It
is necessary to differentiate between pattern sequences and track sequences.
A pattern is made up of 16 steps that are divided into equal time units over
the entire pattern. You have the option of choosing up to 4 drum sounds
from any drum kit to be played within each step. This can be given 3
different dynamic levels. Up to 32 patterns can be created in the Pattern
Editor. These patterns can then be integrated into a track sequence, that
controls the playing of the pattern according to your wish. 32 program steps
are possible that can be combined in any order or repetition. Press the
ENTER button to get to the Drum sequencer
menu.
TEMPO
Tempo (EXT, 41…240)
The tempo of the drum sequencer can be set externally using Midi clock
(EXT/MIDI IN) or internally using BPM (beats per minute) between 41
(very slow) and 240 (very fast). In the case of external synchronization,
(e.g.. MIDI-Drums, sequencer software) the sequence will only start when
the “start” command is received from the MIDI IN port.
VOLUME
Volume Level (0…127)
The drum sequencer is equipped with its own separate volume control. Set
the level here to create a good mix with the other sounds.
REVERB SEND
Reverb (0…127)
The drum sequencer is equipped with its own separate reverb control.
Using the +/- Value buttons, set this value to your desired strength of
reverb for drum sounds. If you want totally “dry” drums, select 0 (zero).
CHORUS SEND
Chorus (0…127)
Set your desired amount of chorus for drums here. If you don’t want any
chorus effect on the drums, set this value to 0 (zero).
VARIAT SEND
Variation Effect (0…127)
Set your desired amount of variation effect for drums here. If you don’t
want any chorus effect on the drums, set this value to 0 (zero).
