Signal Flow and Routing Options

 The pads are connected to the corresponding drum channel input (in our example, a
kick-pad).
 In the mode KIT on the page DRUM a sound is assigned to the trigger signal of the
respective drum channel, and the overall volume of the signal is set. Alternatively, the
volume can be set on the page VOL, since both VOL controls are identical (see page
33).
 The signal of the drum channel is then routed on the page INTF in the mode UNIT. The
signal is sent to both the selected BUS (BUS 1 here) and to the fader group of the internal
mixer (here KICK / K). The volume level of the signal set on the page DRUM (resp. VOL)
remains unaffected from this (see ). Now the signal is present in two different places.
Once on the BUS (solid line) and once in the internal mixer (dashed line).
 The two parallel signals can then be assigned to the desired outputs in the mode UNIT
on the page OUT (BUS and mixer). In this case, BUS 1 is assigned to the outputs
OUT1·2 and the mixer signal to the headphone output (see ).
Result: This way the volume of the kick drum can be changed for the headphones without
affecting the direct out signal. For this, you only need to adjust the fader "kick" in the
mixer accordingly. The mixer does not affect the BUS signal at the output OUT1, since
these are two independent signal paths.
The examples on the following pages show what options you have with the routing capabilities of the
DrumIt Three. Of course, these are just a few configurations and not an exhaustive list of all the options
that are available for your personal use.
Please note that there is not an example for every drum channel in the following explanations. Only the
essential pages are shown, comments on the corresponding pages are noted below.
