Controlling the SD-80 via MIDI

■Switching the drum set

In the same way as for instruments, you can switch drum sets by transmitting MIDI messages from sequencer software running on your computer.

The drum set will switch when the program change is received. Transmit the program change message on the same channel as the MIDI receive channel of the drum part. On the SD-80, the drum set number corresponds to the program number.

How to read the drum set list

In normal screens, the drum set number and drum set name will be displayed. Drum sounds (drum instruments) are assigned to each key of the drum set.

The types of drum set built into the SD-80 are listed by number and name in the drum set list for each sound generator mode. The type of sound included in the drum set is also listed by number and name.

•"Drum set list (GM2 / Native mode)" (p. 105)

•"Drum set list (XGlite mode)" (p. 117)

•"Drum set list (GS mode)" (p. 114)

Switching drum sets in GM2 mode

Transmit bank select LSB (CC#32) and program change (PC#).

*Bank select MSB (CC#00) is used to switch the part mode. Inst part and Drum part correspond to the following numbers.
