There are no individual outputs available by default. To change this, go to the Individual Outputs menu on the

Setup page and make a selection from the drop down menu.

For the new outputs to become available you must close and restart Darbuka .

Working In Surround

Darbuka can be used just as easily in multi-channel surround as in

the stereo world. Not only is it fast and ﬂexible to place Tracks within

a surround panorama but the Equalizer, Dynamics and Ambience

features on the Play page are all real multi-channel surround

effects.

< Enabling Surround Mode

To use four channel surround just select the Setup Page (bottom left of the instrument) and choose Surround

from the Main Outputs drop down menu.

< Placing Tracks In The Surround Panorama

By far the easiest and most intuitive way to place Tracks in the surround mix is to

use the Front/Rear option of the Stage described earlier in this manual.

If you don’t want to use the Stage for editing surround panorama then use the

Pan control in the Track Mixer to set a Track’s left/right position and the Rear

control for the front/rear position.

The multi-channel surround Ambience adjusts automatically to the panorama

position of each Track.

The Edit Page

Whether you want to become the master

arranger of the percussion group or simply

want to alter the performances of a player

for a groove or two, getting to know the Edit

Page will be worth your while: this is your

conductor’s baton.

What Is A Part?

A Part is a single block or entry in the Pattern

which percussion groove each Track will

play in a Pattern.

A Part.

Each Part has a drop down menu of percussion grooves or ﬁlls that can be individually edited and modiﬁed

via the Part Parameters described later in this chapter.
