Drum-Channel
A Drum Channel is synonymous with the connectivity options of the module (see also page 14). The HIHAT
and CYMBAL 1~3 channels have 2 connectors—A and B. Input A receives pad signals, and input B
optional control signals (HH Control, Bell Control).
Trigger-Channel
The DrumIt Three module provides 10 connectors for pads (i.e. drum channels). But there are up to 15
independent trigger channels available, since five of the drum channels are designed as Dual-Channels
(SNARE, TOM 1 to TOM 4). These additional trigger channels are referred to as PERC 1 to PERC 5 (see
table) and can be edited like the other drum channels. The additional channels can be controlled via both
MIDI and pads.
MIDI-Note
The table shows the MIDI notes that are assigned to the individual trigger channels at the factory. Of
course these settings can be changed individually (see also page 52).
There is a special feature on the Drum Channels HIHAT and CYMB 1 to 3 (highlighted in gray in the table).
Each MIDI note controls one zone resp. the choke function (in the table marked by ()).
Here's an example:
