Working with MIDI

The DP-01 is equipped with a MIDI OUT jack. This can be used to drive a sequencer, drum machine, etc., either synchronized to a time base, or a MIDI clock (see below for an explanation of how this works). MIDI OUT is also used to drive a MIDI instrument as a met- ronome (see “Metronome” on page 37).

A MIDI instrument can be connected to the A and B inputs, or mixed with the recorded tracks from the analog outputs if it is fed into the

inputs.

techniques

MIDI Clock, etc.

The MIDI song control messages put out by the DP-01 from the MIDI OUT port include tempo (MIDI Clock), bar and beat information (Song Position Pointer), and Start/Stop/Continue messages. This way of working is particularly suitable for synchronizing with bar/ beat-based MIDI devices such as drum machines and rhythm units.

1 Press MENU and scroll down to MIDI and press the key.

You must set a tempo and time sig- nature on the DP-01 (“Tempo set-

ting” on page 36) to use this feature.
