MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

MIDI

The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the rear panel of the unit, offer broadened musical possibilities through the use of MIDI. The following shows the description of MIDI and How you can use MIDI with the Digital Drum Set.

What is MIDI?

MIDI is the abbreviation for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a world wide standard that makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices, such as computers, to "communicate with each other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the Digital Drum's MIDI OUT terminal, you can play the tone generator's voices from the drum's pads and pedals.

The Digital Drum is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both are located on the rear panel.

•MIDI IN

Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is received at this terminal.

•MIDI OUT

Data produced by the Digital Drum, is transmitted to other MIDI instruments via MIDI from this terminal.

What you can do with MIDI?

•Connect the Digital Drum Set MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI keyboard’s MIDI IN terminal.

This setup allows you to use the drum pad to control another MIDI instrument. Playing the drum pads will result in the other MIDI instrument’s voice sounding simultaneously, creating a thicker overall sound.

•Connect the Digital Drum Set MIDI IN jack to a MIDI keyboard’s MIDI OUT terminal.

In this setup, the digital drum can be used as a tone generator and its voices can be played from a MIDI keyboard. Using a keyboard as a controller, it is possible to play the drum voices that are not assigned to the pads/pedals.

•Connect the Digital Drum Set MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal.

Data produced by the Digital Drum can be recorded to a MIDI sequencer. Data can also be recorded to computers or other sequencer as well.

•Connect the Digital Drum Set MIDI IN jack to a MIDI sequencer’s MIDI OUT terminal.

The sequencer’s data can be used to drive the drum’s sound.
