Making the Settings for 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 electronic musical instrument, have multiple instruments perform in ensemble, program 

the settings to change kits automatically to match the performance as the song progress, and more.

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

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.

Using the Digital Drum as a Sound Module

Connecting an external keyboard or sequencer to the MIDI Input allows you to use the digital drum as a multi-part, polyphonic 

sound module to play various instrument parts in addition to your drums (for instance, Piano on Channel1, Bass on Channel 2, 

Strings on Channel 3, etc). The voices on each MIDI channel are selected using MIDI Program Change messages (refer to

 GM 

Backing Instrument List

).

The MIDI system in the digital drum has 16 reception channels numbered from 1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for a 

voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an external device, the active channel is determined by the control 

message. Channel 10 is reserved for Drums. 

Note:

For more information on received MIDI messages, refer to MIDI implementation chart.
