Chapter 2: Your First Session With The DM5
12 DM5 Reference Manual
STORING AN EDITED DRUM SET
Once you have made changes to a Drum Set, you will need to store it; that is, if you
want to keep the changes you have made. The internal memory is designed to hold
up to 21 (00 – 20) Drum Sets. Once you store over an existing Drum Set, the previous
Drum Set that was stored in that location is gone forever. However, you can recall
any of the 21 original factory preset Drum Sets at any time (see below).
➀ Press [STORE].
The [STORE] button will light. The display will show a Drum Set number identical to the
last Drum Set number selected.
➁ Optional: Use the [VALUE] knob to select a different Drum Set location (00 – 20).
➂ Press [STORE] to save the Drum Set into the selected location.
The display briefly reads: ”DRUMSET STORED!”. The [STORE] button will
turn off.
NAMING A DRUM SET
The Store function has a second page which allows you to change the name of the
Drum Set before storing it.
➀ Press [STORE].
➁ Press the [ ] button once to select page 2 of the Store function .
The Drum Set’s name appears in the display; a cursor appears beneath the first character.
In the bottom left corner of the display, PAGE 2 will have a square around it.
➂ Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to move the cursor in the display and select a
character for editing.
If you move the cursor beyond either end of the Drum Set’s name, page 1 will be selected.
➃ Turn the [VALUE] knob to change the selected character.
➄ Press [STORE] to save the Drum Set with its new name.
RECALLING THE FACTORY DRUM SETS
The DM5 includes 21 factory-programmed Drum Sets that are useful in a wide range
of applications. These are permanently stored in ROM (Read Only Memory), so even
if you edit one of them or replace one by storing a Drum Set into its memory location,
you can recall any of the original presets whenever you want.
➀ Hold the [DRUM SET] button and press [STORE].
The display will read: “Recall Set Into”.
➁ Turn the [VALUE] knob to select the factory Drum Set to be recalled (00-20) .
➂ Press the [ ] button once and turn the [VALUE] knob to select the Drum Set
memory to recall the Drum Set into.
➃ Press [STORE] to recall the selected factory Drum Set into the selected Drum Set
memory location.
Recalling a preset permanently erases and replaces the Drum Set in the location you select.
Only recall a preset into a Drum Set location you are sure you don’t want to keep.
