1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 WELCOME TO THE IED04 DRUM MACHINE! The IED04 includes over 230 high-fidelity drum/percussion sounds, and is easy to operate. As you strike the 8 drum pads (each of which can be assigned to any of the available sounds), the IED04's on-board computer records exactly when you triggered the drum sound and the dynamics[...]

2 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. Rather than record the same Pattern twice, simply record one Pattern, then list it twice when assembling a Song. This also saves memory (thus leaving room for more Patterns and Songs) since[...]

3 STOP or switch over to Perform mode. You will hear any previously-played parts as you record new parts. You can also erase drum hits while the pattern is looping to correct for errors. 1.2D What's a Voice? Each of the 8 large pads triggers a voice . A voice is a sound-generating element with several variable parameters: Drum sound, tuning, v[...]

4 entry buttons (0-9) and up arrow (increment, or INC) and down arrow (decrement, or DEC). The latter increase or decrease parameter values on step at a time. • Volume knob (on back of IED04). This knob regulates the volume of the entire unit. 1.2G Display Layout The LCD is divided into several "windows." Each window contains informatio[...]

Use the PAGE (up and down) buttons to select different "pages" of functions; the display's lower right window shows the page number. These[...]

9 Quantization shifts your playing to the specified beat while you play, so choose the desired value before playing 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. Note: The quantize value also sets the[...]

10 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 PAGE SELECT SETUP RECORD 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[...]

11 The display says ### BEAT and LENGTH . 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). To prevent accidental length alteration, you must press PLAY before the IED04 will store the new Pattern length[...]

12 what had been beats 002-008 will now be beats 001-007. Because a beat was removed, the Pattern will be 7 beats long. Changing  START to 009 will add a beat to the beginning of the Pattern. What had been beats 001-008 will now be beats 002-009. Because a beat was added to the beginning, the Pattern will be 9 beats long and the beat added at th[...]

16 and MIDI parameters. You can therefore keep the groove going at all times, even while you make adjustments prior to recording another part. NOTE: Compose mode cannot be selected when using Preset Patterns, since they cannot be altered. If you wish to alter one of the Preset Patterns, copy it to an empty User Pattern first. (see section 3.3A) 3.1[...]

17 PATTERN A PRESS PLAY TEMPO PERFORM 003 NEXT PATT24 PLAYING USER B To select a new Pattern in Perform mode, enter the two-digit Pattern number. If an A Pattern is currently playing, the new Pattern number will play the A variation. If a B Pattern is currently playing, the new Pattern number will play the B variation. You can also enter a two-digi[...]

18 Fills cannot start on the downbeat since a Fill, by definition, starts at some point into the Main Pattern. However, anything you record on the Fill downbeat will play on the first downbeat following the Fill (i.e., the downbeat of the next Pattern). To show why this is a useful feature, consider that when coming out of a fill, you'll often[...]

19 3.1J Select New Patterns and Fills While in Compose (Record) Mode In Compose mode, Main Pattern selection works in the same manner as Perform mode— select a Pattern number (with the desired A or B designator), and the newly-selected Pattern will play back as soon as the current Pattern plays through its entire length. The display will show the[...]

20 3. While holding down ERASE, press the pad corresponding to the sound to be erased just before the first event to be erased, and release just after the last event to be erased. To erase a single event, strike the pad on that single event. 3.2B Erase an Entire Pattern If you erase both Main and Fill Patterns associated with a numbered Pattern, or[...]

21 • If you copy from Main to Fill (or vice-versa) within a particular numbered Pattern, the destination will be erased and replaced with the source Pattern since Main and Fill Patterns must have the same length. This is useful if you want the Fill to contain variations on the Main Pattern—just copy the Main to Fill and make your additions/chan[...]

22 6. Press PLAY. The display says COPY DONE . 7. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons. 3.3C Copy a Single Drum Pad's Part to a Drum Pad in a Different Pattern This copy function merges the source drum pad rhythm with the destination drum pad rhythm in a different Pattern. To replace the destination rhythm with the source rhythm, first erase the [...]

23 CHAPTER 4: CREATING DRUM SETS The IED04's 8 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. There are 50 preset[...]

24 4.2 PAGE 2: ASSIGN SOUNDS TO PADS The display shows the currently selected pad number and the sound assigned to that pad. FATSNARE PAGE 0 01 DRUM SET DRUM You can assign any of the IED04's sounds to any of the pads, or to more than one pad. Each individual Drum Set can have its own drum sound assignment. To assign a sound to a pad: 1. Hit t[...]

27 Single: When hitting a pad repeatedly, a new hit will automatically terminate any sound that is still decaying. This is useful with many percussion sounds (such as tambourine, agogo, etc.). Group 1 and 2: Pads assigned to a particular group (1 or 2) will cut each other off if a group pad is struck while another pad assigned to the same group con[...]

28 4.8 PAGE 8: MANUAL DRUM SET OVERRIDE (SET MODE) The display says SET MODE . Use the INC/DEC buttons to select PATT (each Pattern uses its assigned Drum Set) or MANUAL (the IED04 will retain the currently selected drum assignments regardless of which Pattern is chosen). Note: If changing Patterns doesn't call up different Drum Sets, this par[...]

29 CHAPTER 5: SONG MODE 5.1 SONG MODE BASICS After creating the Patterns that make up a Song, it's time to string those Patterns together in a musically useful way. You can incorporate Preset Patterns, or a combination of Preset and User Patterns. There are three ways to create Songs: • In real time. As the IED04 plays in Song Mode (with Com[...]

30 5.1C Continue, Re-start, or Jump to Next Song Step • In Compose mode, if you stop a Song and then press PLAY, the Song will continue from the first beat of the Pattern that was playing when STOP was pressed. • In Perform mode, if you stop a Song and then press PLAY, the Song will re-start from the beginning. • In either Compose or Perform [...]
