    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 WELCOME TO THE IDM01 DRUM MACHINE! 1.1A If You Just Can't Wait… Turn to section 1.4, 10 Steps to Instant Gratification, and start making sounds. Some of the terms in that section may not make sense, but just follow the instructions, and get ready to hear some great grooves and have a good time.

  • Page 13: Ground Rules

    7. Backup: Now that you've come up with some great Songs and rhythm Patterns, it's time to save them to a cassette recorder or MIDI system exclusive storage device. 8. Applications: This additional information will help you get the most out of the IDM01. 9.

  • Page 14: B The Four Different Types Of Patterns

    • Program a list of Patterns, in the order in which they are to be played. • Select Patterns in real time, and the IDM01 will remember your performance. The IDM01 stores up to 100 User-programmable Songs. Breaking a song into Patterns saves time since elements of a song often repeat. Example: The second verse might have the same drum pattern as the first verse.

  • Page 15: C How "Looping" Simplifies Recording

    1.2C How "Looping" Simplifies Recording To simplify recording in Compose mode, a Pattern will "loop" over and over again. Example: Suppose you want to record an 8-beat pattern. While recording, the pattern will record through all 8 beats, then immediately jump back to the beginning and continue recording through all 8 beats again.

  • Page 16: F Physical Layout

    1.2F Physical Layout The IDM01 includes seven main types of controls, along with a group of connectors (located on the back panel). The control groups (see diagram) are: • Pads (play buttons). Tapping each button triggers an IDM01 voice. • Function buttons. These six buttons select various functions, some of which include multiple "pages"...

  • Page 17: G Display Layout

    1.2G Display Layout The LCD is divided into several "windows." Each window contains information that helps you monitor the IDM01's status, and/or indicates what type of data should be entered. • Name, "dialog" box, real time Song/Pattern readout, beat counter. This is the most commonly-used area of the display.

  • Page 18: A Entering Numbers

    1.3A Entering Numbers The IDM01 identifies Patterns and Songs, as well as many other parameters, with numbers. You need to type in (enter) these numbers in a specific way (as described below). 1.3B The Cursor When the IDM01 wants you to enter a number in the "Dialog" box, the display will show the previously-entered number (or the default number), and the first digit will have a small underline called the cursor.

  • Page 19: F Buttons That Toggle

    1.3F Buttons that Toggle The Mode buttons, FILL button, and several function buttons (DRUM SET, RECORD SETUP, MIDI SETUP, and BACKUP) "toggle" between two states. Each button press sets the switch to its alternate state. Example: Press the PATTERN/SONG button once to change from Pattern to Song;...
  • Page 20 8. Press PLAY, and you'll hear a Preset Pattern. (In case the IDM01 has already been played with, make sure that the display shows PERFORM and does not show USER before continuing. To choose Perform mode, press the PERFORM/COMPOSE button until the Perform/Compose section of the display shows PERFORM).

  • Page 21: Chapter 2: Record Setup

    CHAPTER 2: RECORD SETUP Several parameters are often adjusted prior to recording a Pattern, such as metronome, Pattern length, etc. General instructions are: 1. Press the RECORD SETUP button. 2. Use the PAGE (up and down) buttons to select different "pages" of functions; the display's lower right window shows the page number.

  • Page 22: Select The Swing Value (Swing Select)

    Quantization shifts your playing to the specified beat while you play, so choose the desired value before tapping out your rhythms. Remember that you can also change quantization while recording if, for example, you want to record snare with eighth note quantization but high-hats with 16th note quantization.

  • Page 23: Enable Click (Metronome) And Set Rhythm (Click Select)

    2.3 PAGE 3: ENABLE CLICK (METRONOME) AND SET RHYTHM (CLICK SELECT) The display shows CLICK SELECT; the Click window shows the click's rhythmic value. CLICK SELECT SETUP RECORD PAGE CLICK Enter the click value with the INC/DEC or number buttons (1 = quarter note, 2 = quarter note triplet, 3 = 8th note, 4 = 8th note triplet, 5 = 16th note, 6 = 16th note triplet, 7-0 = Click Off).

  • Page 24: Adjust Velocity Response (Velocity)

    2.5 PAGE 5: ADJUST VELOCITY RESPONSE (VELOCITY) There are 11 ways in which a pad's output level can respond to the force with which you tap it: soft, medium, loud, and eight fixed responses. VELOCITY LOUD SETUP RECORD PAGE PERFORM The display says VELOCITY.

  • Page 25: Add/Remove Beats From Pattern End (Length)

    2.6 PAGE 6: ADD/REMOVE BEATS FROM PATTERN END (LENGTH) This option either adds beats to, or subtracts beats from, the end of the Pattern. The Pattern length can be set prior to, or after, recording. Shortening a Pattern's end point erases any drum events that fall outside the remaining part of the Pattern;...

  • Page 26: Offset A Pattern Or Drum Part

    The display says ### BEAT and START. This indicates a Pattern's length in beats (quarter notes). Enter the desired length with the INC/DEC or number buttons (this must be a three digit number; enter leading zeroes if necessary). A smaller value compared to the original length will remove the difference, in beats, from the beginning of the Pattern.
  • Page 27 one drum event occurs on the same sub-beat, the PAGE UP/DOWN buttons step forward or backward respectively through each drum one at a time. 001/00 DRUM STEP EDIT SWING OFF QUANTIZE If no drum event exists on this beat/sub-beat, the display will show no pad number, and EMPTY in place of volume data.

  • Page 28: A Add A New Drum To A Step

    2.9A Add a New Drum to a Step Use the PAGE buttons to select the step where the drum is to be added. Press the pad that corresponds to the sound you want to add. That drum, along with its volume (how hard the pad was hit), will be recorded into the displayed step.

  • Page 29: Chapter 3: Playing Back/Recording Patterns

    CHAPTER 3: PLAYING BACK/RECORDING PATTERNS 3.1 PLAYBACK/RECORD BASICS Please make sure you've read section 1.2B, which explains the different types of IDM01 Patterns. It is important to understand the differences between these Pattern types. The PATTERN/SONG button chooses between Pattern and Song modes. For all of the following Pattern operations, Pattern mode must be selected, as confirmed by the display.

  • Page 30: C Set Pattern Tempo

    BEAT 001 PATTERN USER TEMPO RECORDING QUANTIZE SWINGOFF COMPOSE CLICK To listen, choose Perform (this de-activates the click). You can drop in and out of these two modes as you record. While the IDM01 is in either mode, you can change Pattern quantization, swing, click rhythm and volume, pad velocity response, name, drumset, drumset parameters, and MIDI parameters.

  • Page 31: E Stop/Restart A Pattern

    When a Main Pattern reaches its end, it will loop back to the beginning and continue playing from that point unless you select a new Pattern, selected a Fill Pattern initially, or stop the Pattern (section 3.1E). If you select a User Pattern that contains no data, the display says EMPTY PATTERN. If you select a User Pattern that contains data but has not yet been named, the display says NO NAME.

  • Page 32: H Select Fill Patterns In Perform (Playback) Mode

    Notes • If you change your mind or select the wrong Pattern, you can select a new Pattern number at any time before the next Pattern begins. • If you press STOP before the next Pattern begins playing, the IDM01 will stop and remain on the currently selected Pattern.

  • Page 33: I Record A Pattern

    Pattern repeating until the solo is about to end, at which point you select the Fill that leads out of the A Main Pattern. 3.1I Record a Pattern An empty Pattern defaults to an 8 beat length, with 16th note quantization and swing off (50%). If you need to change the length, it's best (though not essential) to do so before recording.

  • Page 34: K Using Fill To Create Repetitive Drum Hits

    As mentioned earlier, the FILL button performs two different functions. We've already covered how to use the FILL button for Pattern selection, however, it can also trigger a drum sound at the current quantization rate (e.g., eighth notes, 16th notes, etc.; if quantization is off, though, this function is inactive) and swing value.

  • Page 35: A Erase Mistakes While Recording

    5. While continuing to hold the ERASE button, press PLAY again. The display will read FILL ERASED. 6. Release both buttons. Note: To retain the Drum Set assignment, length, and name when you erase a Pattern, hold ERASE and tap each drum pad. This erases the drum events, but retains all other Pattern parameters.

  • Page 36: B Copy (Merge) One Drum Pad's Part To Another Drum Pad (Soundstacking™)

    • Copying a Pattern to a blank destination Pattern replaces the blank Pattern with the original Pattern data. • Copying to a Pattern that already contains data appends the original data to the end of the data in the destination Pattern. If this would result in a Pattern with more than 128 beats, the display will say TOO MANY BEATS.

  • Page 37: C Copy A Single Drum Pad's Part To A Drum Pad In A Different Pattern

    6. Tap the destination pad to which the source part will be merged. Often when copying to a different Pattern, this will be the same drum pad number as selected in step (5). As long as COPY is held down, the destination pad can still be changed by selecting another drum pad.

  • Page 38: F Copy A Drum Set To Another Idm01 Via Midi

    3.3F Copy a Drum Set to Another IDM01 Via MIDI The IDM01 can send Drum Set system exclusive information to another IDM01 via MIDI. If you have only one IDM01, you can skip this section. 1. The source IDM01 should be in Pattern mode and stopped. Connect the source IDM01 MIDI out to the destination IDM01 MIDI in.

  • Page 39: Chapter 4: Creating Drum Sets

    CHAPTER 4: CREATING DRUM SETS The IDM01's 12 pads can be assigned to various drum sounds, with different levels, tuning, panning, triggering mode, and output jack assignment. Each set of pad parameters is given a number and collectively are called a Drum Set; each A and B user Pattern can have its own Drum Set assignment.

  • Page 70: Sound Stacking

    8.3 SOUND STACKING™ 8.3A Basics Sound Stacking™ was introduced by Alesis on its two earlier drum machines, the HR-16 and HR-16:B. It is a quick and efficient way of layering drum sounds to create thicker drum textures and gives the user wide capabilities for experimenting with new, personalized drum sounds. Through some intelligent software manipulation, a drum sound's rhythm pattern can be copied to any other drum pad thereby simultaneously triggering the drum sounds assigned to both pads.

  • Page 71: Understanding Rhythmic Notation

    8.4 UNDERSTANDING RHYTHMIC NOTATION Measures A piece of music is divided into smaller units called measures (also called bars), and each measure is divided into beats. In the IDM01, each beat is further sub-divided into 96 sub-beats. Rhythmic Values for Notes With a measure written in a 4/4 time signature, there are 4 beats per measure, and each beat represents a quarter (1/4) note.
