RECORDING MODE To record the User Pattern (Pattern #41): 1. Record-arm the module by pressing and holding SAVE / REC for more than two seconds. 2. Press START / STOP or hit the pads. The REC light will illuminate and the LCD will count down from "4" before it begins recording. 3. Record your Pattern with the Kit. The LCD will display what measure you are on. 4. When you have finished, press START / STOP to stop the recording. (If the recording reaches full capacity - approximately 5,000 notes - the LCD will read "FUL." Press START / STOP to return to Pattern Selection Mode.) Recording will erase any previously recorded User Pattern you had. You will not be able to adjust any of the module's parameters while recording. To stop the recording and return to Pattern Select Mode, press START / STOP. To turn the metronome on or off before or during the recording, press CLICK. Either way, the metronome sound will not be recorded. DRUM OFF You can press DRUM OFF to mute the drum sounds of the accompanying Pattern. (This can be a useful practice tool when playing along with Patterns.) The Drum Off Indicator will light up, and you will still be able to trigger all pads, cymbals, and pedals in this mode. To unmute the Pattern, simply press DRUM OFF again and the Drum Off Indicator will be unlit. FACTORY RESET To return the DM6 module to its original settings, hold down VALUE + and VALUE - simultaneously while turning on the module. This will restore its factory settings, erasing any recorded data or changed settings, including User Kits, the User Pattern, and any volume, metronome, or Voice settings, which will return to their defaults. 5
