iON DM6 User Manual

 

 
 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. 
 

 
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.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
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. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To turn the metronome on or off before or during the 
recording, press CLICK.  Either way, the metronome 
sound will not be recorded.
