That should be sufficient. Have you verified a recorded clip in the envelope section of it? The red dot next to the parameter indicates recorded automation.

Vermona DRM1 MKIII specification page:
MIDI

IN/THRU
accepts MIDI note numbers with velocity
That's all the MIDI there is.

doest it mean you can not record midi automation with vermona at all ? in vermona manual there is no midi cc table for the knobs either . i just want to make sure if its doable or not ?! .

Well, f*** me, a newer drum machine with less MIDI than some old ones. Not even the deluxe version has CC it seems.
