Practice
The Note Mixing function allows you to
instantly create a variety of beats by
adjusting the levels of five different note
values. Front-panel sliders, buttons, and a
large rotary dial provide instant, hands-on
access to edit parameters. Select four
different click sounds, including a human
voice-counting sound that will help you know
your place in the bar. The DB-90 is also
equipped with realistic PCM drum patterns,
for developing your accuracy and rhythmic
feel effectively.
Plug Into Rhythm Coach
Expand your rhythmic horizons with Rhythm
Coach. This innovative follow-along feature
has four training modes to help build your
accuracy, speed, and endurance. With the
DB-90’s onboard microphone, you can use the
Rhythm Coach functions with acoustic drums,
or plug a Roland V-Pad into the Trigger
input. Play along, and chart your progress.
Many Uses
Drummers can connect to the DB-90 via Roland
V-Pads or the internal microphone. Guitarist
and bassist can directly plug into the DB-90
without any other gear required, and monitor
via connected headphones — practically any
type of instrumentalist can benefit from the
DB-90’s features. And for those who wish to
sync to an external sequencer for more
elaborate accompaniment, they can do so with
the DB-90’s MIDI input. This stage-oriented
feature is especially useful for drummers.
