Alors, tu as trouvé ton bonheur ?The D-1000 is NOT a Linndrum or sample playback device! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a drummer!
Do not expect it to sound or behave like a machine trying to sound like a drummer!
Do not furiously twist the knobs in search of the 1980s gated reverb snare sound!
Fuck you and fuck the 1980s! Oh, and PS: there are no presets !
So, let's put it in terms even a musician can absorb.
Think of the D-1000 as a primitive box containing 4 screaming children, being punched in the throat to the rhythm of the internal sequencer or user supplied (this means you!) pulse sequence source. These screaming voices are generated by the 6CQ8 tubesthat are staring at you right now (you do like to read the manual while you have the unit in front of you...............right???...................)
The knobs control the amount of strangle of the screaming voices. Turn them to the right for higher pitched screams, and turn to the left for a tighter strangle and more choking. They make the TR-606 sound like a simpering twat tapping on tin cans.
The rows of switches on each voice are the sequencers. Eight switches, one measure of eight beats. Flip a switch up to trigger a punch in the throat at that beat, flip down for silence.
In addition to screaming belches, these voices can accept audio signals that will swallow your signal and excrete out a nice bandpass filtered variation of what you stuck inside. This is done by slamming audio into the Trigger In jacks.
The Trigger In jacks also accept a pulse (punch in the throat) to trigger the screams.
The CV Ins are there to add chaos to the screaming orchestra.
These voices are then fed to the overdriveable mix output and to the individual audio outputs for each voice, both simultaneously.
Use the roll button to replace a punch in the throat with a jackhammer to the throat.
Why do other drumboxes have stupid little buttons that trigger only one drum-punch?
We like a good beating, so our buttons administer repetitive pain.
