RECORDING MODE
To record the User Pattern (Pattern #41):
1.
Record-arm the module by pressing and holding
SAVE / REC for more than two seconds.
2. Press START / STOP or hit the pads. The REC
light will illuminate and the LCD will count down
from "4" before it begins recording.
3. Record your Pattern with the Kit. The LCD will
display what measure you are on.
4. When you have finished, press START / STOP
to stop the recording. (If the recording reaches
full capacity – approximately 5,000 notes – the
LCD will read "FUL." Press START / STOP to return to Pattern Selection Mode.)
Recording will erase any previously recorded User
Pattern you had. You will not be able to adjust any of
the module's parameters while recording. To stop the
recording and return to Pattern Select Mode, press
START / STOP.
DRUM OFF
You can press DRUM OFF to mute the drum sounds
of the accompanying Pattern. (This can be a useful
practice tool when playing along with Patterns.) The
Drum Off Indicator will light up, and you will still be
able to trigger all pads, cymbals, and pedals in this
mode. To unmute the Pattern, simply press DRUM
OFF again and the Drum Off Indicator will be unlit.
FACTORY RESET
To return the DM6 module to its original settings, hold
down VALUE + and VALUE – simultaneously while
turning on the module. This will restore its factory
settings, erasing any recorded data or changed
settings, including User Kits, the User Pattern, and any
volume, metronome, or Voice settings, which will return
to their defaults.
To turn the metronome on or off before or during the
recording, press CLICK. Either way, the metronome
sound will not be recorded.
