USB & MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication interface
that enables electronic musical instruments and computers to communicate with each other so that instruc-
tions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information makes it possible to create a
system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than that is available
with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other equipments
your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For instance, you can edit your playing in computer or play
back MIDI song from computer while play the drum.
USB

connected without driver installation under the Windows XP, Windows Vista & MAC
OSX environment. The drum will be recognized as USB Audio device to receive and
transmit the same MIDI messages described above.
