@crisnich How do I do this? I've got a MIDI file loaded into cubase that I want to export to the DR-3 (I'm sending via a PreSonus Firebox interface, which has a MIDI out)

[biospark64]

How do you combine a drum kit with a different bass kit?

[TheEbodin]

Roland should privide a dvd tutorial. I would gladly pay to see how the dr-3 is programed. The info says it is easy to program. Ya shure!! There are100 presets but the only way to use them is to program patterns so bass changes will coincide with the chord changes that you are playing. This is a lot of work if you have several songs. The Dr-3 has bass along with drum. You can mute the bass. Page 89 for that. Then you can play along with the drums only. Manual could be better done.

[Zhorellski]

Could this be program in a song format? ie Intro/verse/fill/chorus/fill/v­erse2/end etc..?

[mickhutchinson]

How do you switch KITS ?

[crisnich]

i don´t wast my time programing in dr-3 ..... do it in your daw, (cubase; sonar... cake).. and transmit via midi to dr-3... the sequences in daw, can be used in other drums, or drums vsti.... it´s more intelligent.

[emosdieslow]

@crisnich yeah thanks to your comment I got it solved! Now I just have to master making my own beats and on it and I'm set.

[crisnich]

@emosdieslow do you solve your doubt ? turn the bass off ? Ok !

In the EDIT / SYSTEM / OUTPUT: change "all" to just "drums" Done ! Bass is out !

[crisnich]

@numanuma20 **** The dr-3 only receive midi signals from your sequencer. Try cakewalk, cubase....
