E-mu drumulator user manual


















We are keeping all business activities at standard level but there is some delay in postal services during shipping of our products to customers due to low transport capacity of airlines caused by the viral epidemic.

This means that ordered items delivery will take a little longer than usual to get to you. Please be patient. It controls individual drum sound generators and sequencer of the instrument. There is auto-correct, swing, independent volume and accent control, as well as looping within a song.

Where's the compromise? The development team knew how to build good sample replay electronics, but to keep the costs down they had to keep the sample memory down to just 64k bytes! That means 8-bit samples and very short sample times, for the 12 drum sounds. The team also decided on only 4 drum front panel buttons, rather than This means a lot of button pushing!

As with many early drum machines there is only one DAC, which is multiplexed across all the voices. This compromise could never be made on an Emulator, but early Japanese samplers did the same, it was not just drum machines that had to cut costs. Pad Programmer This external 4 pad in a box controller enables you to play the Drumulator in real time with ordinary drum sticks.

Each of the Programmer's pads can be assigned to any Drumulator sound and each is touch sensitive, allowing you to choose the normal or accented version of a sound by how hard you hit its pad.

The Pad Programmer includes inputs for processing external controllers, as well as four trigger outputs for controlling synthesizers, sequencers, or other drum machines.

Emulator E-mu Systems could even tell you how to use an Emulator and a computer to create your own custom Drumulator sound chips. It let's you create rhythm patterns on an interactive graphics display. You can then link these patterns together into complete songs, save them on floppy disk, and print them out for future reference. You can independently program the level of each individual note.

The Apple needs at least 48k bytes 64k bytes preferred of memory gulp! This was a user install the first and last time that E-mu Systems encouraged you into their machines for some years! Overview The Drumulator has long since been unsupported by E-mu Systems, so you will need to scan second hand adverts and eBay to get any upgrades to the Drumulator.

New Sounds For a few years in the mid 's EPROM based drum machines ruled the market, as memory was too expensive to allow lots of long samples to be stored. Drum machines came with a fixed set of 10 to 30 sounds, which users soon wanted to replace. This was possible by buying a new sample chip, opening up the drum machine and replacing one or more of the existing chips. However the Drumulator is not the easiest of drum machines to upgrade with EPROM's, as 11 of the sounds are spread over 3 chips.

Switched On JLCooper went as far as producing a custom modification that enabled both the ride and crash cymbals to be fitted internally. A toggle switch was used to select the active sample.

At least 15 Digidrums sets were created for the Drumulator, the known sets are:. They contain between 8 and 12 samples. A demonstration tape was available from E-mu Systems, Digidrums or the dealers. Hey, any one still got one we can listen to? RS The Drumulator RS interface protocol is very simple, with 8-bits being used to communicate volume 16 levels and the drum sound to be played.

Pad Programmer Feel the need to play the Drumulator with real sticks? Well you can with the Pad Programmer. It provides four black, round pads on a separate grey unit, the same size casing as a Drumulator that plugs into the gate inputs of the Drumulator.

The pads are touch sensitive, and generate 5V gate outputs, which can be hooked up to other drum machines or even modular synths. An external AC adapter came with the Pad Programmer. OS Version 2. It provides a very welcome 64 Songs, rather than 8, as well as a song edit mode. The program ROM size was not increased, so the extra functionality was gained by a bit of rewriting to economise on memory. A bug in song mode was fixed too where a continuous loops of no segments locked the drum machine.

The interface is 8-bit serial at baud. Overview In the days before MIDI it was a challenge to interface different drum machines and sequencers. However it could be done, sometimes with a bit of electronics adapting. Sequential Circuits The Poly Sequencer and the sequencer in the Prophet 10 could be driven by the Drumulator's clock out being hooked up to the sequencers clock in. The Pro One's arpeggiator can be driven from the Drumulator by connecting the Drumulator trigger out to the Pro One's ext clock input.

The Prophet 's arpeggiator can be driven by the Drumulator. Connect the metronome output of the Drumulator to the Prophet's control switch jack. However you need Drum Mod 0. Connect a foot switch normally open to a "Y" cable.

Connect grounds to pin 2. The Jupiter and Juno synthesizers can have their arpeggiators synchronised, by connecting the trigger output of the Drumulator to the external clock in of these synthesizers. But you do need Drumulator Drum Mod 0. What they made wound up becoming a huge hit for MIDI is a way of exchanging musical information between various electronic music instruments.
