Connect the ‘Master output’ sockets of the D Station Rack to a suitable amplifier or mixing desk’s stereo inputs and set the
‘Volume’ control on the front panel to a reasonably high output level (9-10). This will maintain a good signal to noise ratio.
Make sure that the input volume setting on your amplifier or mixer is initially set to zero. Connect the MIDI Out from your
master keyboard or sequencer to the MIDI In on the D Station Rack and check that the ‘Write’ switch is in the ‘Protect’ posi-
tion. Now, connect the power supply ( Novation PSU-4 ) to the socket marked ‘Power In 9VDC’ and plug into a suitable AC
power outlet. Switch on the power to the D Station and the display should now illuminate showing the last selected program
number. Now switch on your amplifier and adjust the volume accordingly. You can now use your master keyboard or
sequencer to play the drum sounds of the currently selected program ( the D Station Rack is initially set at the factory to
receive on MIDI channel 10). To listen to all 25 factory presets, first make sure the ‘Program’ LED is on ( if not, use the
‘Mode’ button to re-select ) and then use the ‘Data Entry’ keypad to call up sounds ‘00’ to ‘24’. See page 44 for factory pro-
gram information. You can also use the ‘Audition’ button on the front panel to trigger the sounds.
