D16 Group Drumazon 2 Drum Machine 909 Emulation Plug-In - Manual (Page 30)

Play modes
Drumazon works in two play modes:
• Internal – Drum patterns are triggered by the internal sequencer of the plug-in. Drumazon operates in this mode
when Int Seq is enabled.
• External – Drumazon acts as a sound module; drum sounds are triggered by incoming MIDI Notes from the host
sequencer. Drumazon operates in this mode when Int Seq is disabled.

External mode
When Int Seq is disabled, Drumazon is in the External mode where it acts as a sound module. MIDI Notes correspond-
ing to instrument (drum sound) note numbers are sent from the host sequencer to play drum patterns.
By default, the MIDI Notes layout ( MIDI Map ) follows the General MIDI standard, as it does in the original 909. The
following chapters will explain how to change these settings.
Note velocity determines the volume at which notes are played. There’s no discrete gradation between accented and
non-accented notes in this mode as played note velocity will depend on the velocity value of each
incoming MIDI Note.
As a result, we can obtain a smooth transition in the loudness and responsiveness of instruments (127 levels of velocity).
In External mode, only the Sound Control part of the GUI works.
Drum MIDI Map
To change the MIDI Map or, in other words, the MIDI Notes that trigger particular sounds, you need to open the Trigger
/ MIDI view:
