Making the Settings for MIDI
About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that
allows performance data and other information to be exchanged
among electronic musical instruments and computers. With a
MIDI cable connecting MIDI connectors equipped device, you
can play multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have
multiple instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings
to change kits automatically to match the performance as the
song progress, and more.
MIDI Connection
MIDI IN: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external
MIDI device.
MIDI OUT: This terminal transmits data from the digital drum to
other MIDI devices.
USB Connection
The USB connector allows you to connect the digital drum
directly to your computer. It can be connected without installing
a driver in Windows XP/Vista/Win7 or MAC OSX environments.
The digital drum will be recognized as a “USB Audio device” to
receive and transmit MIDI messages through a single USB
cable. The USB port is used only for MIDI messages (MIDI via
USB)
Note:
When the USB port is connected to a computer, all MIDI
messages will be received and transmitted via USB.
Connecting with an External Sound Device
The digital drum transmission channel for the drum kit is fixed to
Channel 10. It will output MIDI data generated by the triggers
when hitting the pads or stepping on the Hi-Hat control pedal
(Note ON/OFF, and Foot messages). Song playback data and
metronome notes are not transmitted.
Recording Your Performance to an External Sequencer
1. Connect the MIDI OUT of the digital drum to the MIDI IN of
your sequencer, and the MIDI OUT of your sequencer to the
MIDI IN of the digital drum. If you are using a software
sequencer on a computer, you can simply connect the USB
port of the digital drum to a USB port of your computer using
a single USB A-B cable.
2. Setup the active track of your sequencer on Channel 10.
Activate RECORD on your sequencer.
3. Play the pads of your digital drum.
4. Stop recording. Locate your sequencer to the start of your
recording.
5. Playback the recorded sequencer.
