Using the Digital Drum as a Sound Module
Connecting an external keyboard or sequencer to the MIDI Input allows you to use the digital drum as
a multi-part, polyphonic sound module to play various instrument parts in addition to your drums (for
instance, Piano on Channel1, Bass on Channel 2, Strings on Channel 3, etc). The voices on each MIDI
channel are selected using MIDI Program Change messages (refer to GM Backing Instrument List).
The MIDI system in the digital drum has 16 reception channels numbered from 1 to 16. Each of the
channels is responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an external
device, the active channel is determined by the control message. Channel 10 is reserved for Drums.
Note:
For more information on received MIDI messages, refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart.
