ME35T DRUM SETTINGS
Pressing displays the following screen:
The S3000XL is capable of acting as a highly sophisticated percussion sampler using the
AKAI ME35T audio/MIDI trigger interface unit to produce MIDI trigger signals from a
variety of sources. Two such units may be connected, and programming may be carried
out from the S3000XL rather than on the more limited displays and controls of the
ME35Ts. For such programming to take place, a ‘MIDI handshake’ must be set up, from
IN to OUT and OUT to IN.

When two ME35T units are to be used together to provide 16 drum inputs, they should
be connected as shown on the right.
Since this is a manual for the S3000XL, full details of the operation of the ME35T will not
be given here. Refer to the ME35T manual for operational details. However, note that to
set up the MIDI Exclusive channel on the ME35T, the MIDI CHAN and MIDI NOTE keys
on the ME35T should be pressed simultaneously. The following parameters on the
ME35T may be set up from the S3000XL:
The name of the drum input settings may be altered by pressing NAME, typing in the
name followed by ENTER.

then individual (1-2) inputs may be selected for fine adjustment. This
method of working can save you a lot of time.
Here you may select the MIDI channel for the selected input.
Here you may select the MIDI note number you wish to assign to the input
