The module you have Introduction purchased is ideal for producing the kind of classic synthesized drum sounds which have returned to popularity in recent years in various styles of dance music. Section The two most popular drum machines which originally produced these sounds - Roland’s TR808 & TR909* - are no longer manufactured and as a result, second-hand units are now changing hands for far more than their original selling prices (and indeed the selling price of the D Station). The D Station will allow you to produce these sounds with stunning realism and ‘tweak’ their parameters using the original analogue synthesis techniques, unlike sampling or PCM playback which ‘freezes’ the sound and makes it extremely difficult to edit. Additionally the D Station is programmable so once you have adjusted the sounds to your taste you can store them in complete ‘kits’. You have the recall of digital memories but with the life and warmth that only original analogue sounds have. To get you started 25 Factory kits have been provided and there are 15 User Programs which you can use to store your own kits, once you become familiar with the editing parameters. The D Station features stereo left/right and 6 individual assignable audio outputs so you can process your drum sounds individually through your mixer EQ and external effects. The D Station is triggered via MIDI, allowing you to program your drums on your favourite MIDI sequencer (hardware or software). The TR808 and TR909 kits can be accessed simultaneously allowing any combination of drum sounds to be played as a ‘Kit’. MIDI Controllers are transmitted when any drumsound editing knob is adjusted in real-time and these too can be recorded on a MIDI sequencer and reproduced from sequencer playback. For those who have vintage equipment supporting Roland DIN Sync the D Station uses the incoming MIDI Clock to generate the original Roland DIN Sync 5v output trigger for external devices.

Rear Panel Connections 1 1 DIN Sync. Out This connector is used to control the Tempo/Start-Stop of classic analogue drum machines or synthesisers from the MIDI Clock. 2 Individual Outputs The six connectors in this section are used to separate a drum sound(s) from the main stereo left/Right outputs. The sounds(s) can then be equalised or processed individually. 3 Master Output The two connectors deliver a stereo line level output signal for connection to a mixing desk or amplifier. 2 345 4 MIDI IN - This connector is used to receive MIDI Data from an external device. OUT - This connector is used to Transmit MIDI Data to an external device. THRU -This connector re-transmits MIDI Data received by the MIDI IN socket to an external device. 5 9V DC INPUT Connect the output plug of the AC Adapter supplied ( PSU-4 ) with the DrumStation to this socket. 3 Novation PSU-6 Power Supply Connections & Setting up Mixer/Amplifier Audio Inputs MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN BASIC SETUP Novation PSU-6 Power Supply Connections & Setting up Mixer/Amplifier Audio Inputs MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN BASIC SETUP Mixer/Amplifier Computer/Sequencer Master Keyboard/Module 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’ position. Now, connect the power supply ( Novation PSU...
