Korg drumlogue - MIDI and Computer Connectivity; Connecting External MIDI Devices

Understanding MIDI and Computers
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard for ex-
changing various types of musical data between electronic musical instruments and com-
puters. When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data
can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by dierent manufacturers.
MIDI data can also be exchanged between the drumlogue and your personal computer using
a single USB cable. The drumlogue lets you assign MIDI control change numbers (CC#) to the
major parameters that aect the sound, and control these parameters from an external MIDI
sequencer while you play the tone generator. You can also use the front panel knobs or but
-
tons to transmit these control change messages, in order to control an external MIDI device.
You can also synchronize the drumlogue’s tempo to the MIDI clock of an external MIDI
sequencer or other device, so that the drumlogue will play in time with the external device
and with any changes you make.
Connecting Devices via MIDI
Controlling an external MIDI device from the drumlogue
If you want to use the drumlogue’s keyboard, controllers, and sequencer to play sounds
on or to control an external MIDI tone generator, connect the drumlogue’s MIDI OUT
connector to the external MIDI tone generator’s MIDI IN connector using a MIDI cable.
Controlling the drumlogue from an external MIDI device
If you want to play or control the drumlogue from another MIDI keyboard, se-
quencer, or other device, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI
device to the drumlogue’s MIDI IN connector with a MIDI cable.
