The Setup section holds a handfull of parameters related to Input and Output settings. If you need to adjust the settings for the way MIDI Input is received by DigiDrum Pro, or you need to configure the 5 Audio Outputs, you will find the controls to do it on the Setup page. MIDI In By default, all Parts have their MIDI In parameter set to 'All', which means that all Parts receive MIDI data from all MIDI channels. This is usually a practical setup for use of DigiDrum Pro in most VST hosts, but many situations call for a more flexible MIDI communication - Maybe you have external MIDI equipment that you would like to use as Note Trigger device. Maybe you need to Trigger the Parts from each of their own channels to make DigiDrum Pro compatible with some older projects of yours - You can use the 'MIDI In' parameter to setup the Part's MIDI Input channels precisely as you wish. Note Here you set the Trigger Note for each Part (Trigger Notes are explained in the chapter Making Sound). You can set the Trigger Notes to whatever preference you may have. You can even layer Parts by letting them share the same Trigger Note - When the Trigger Note is triggered, all Parts with that specific Trigger Note assigned will play. Bend DigiDrum Pro receives Pitchwheel messages, and bends all Parts respectively according to the Parts Bend Parameter setting. This parameter goes from 0 - 12 semitones, and as each Part can have it's own Bend parameter value, all the Parts can react with different sensitivity to the Pitchwheel data. You can use this to comfortably Pitch only some Parts during Pitchwheel modulation. Together with the Parts private Tune parameter and the Global Pitch parameter, the Pitchwheel can be used to create exciting Pitch effects. Output There are five separate Outputs in DigiDrum Pro, and you can assign them to the Parts completely as you wish. Some VST hosts handle multiple Outputs better than others, so you need to refer to the documentation of your VST host for details about using multiple Audio Outputs with VST plugins. If you don't need to have 5 separate Outputs, you can just assign all Parts to the same Output. The advantage of using more Outputs, is that each separate Output can be assigned their own effects. So you can process everyone of the Parts with the effects you prefer. |
