The display shows
DRUM IN
. This page features two different MIDI input velocity curves (
ON
V1
and
ON V2
). To have the IDM01 receive note messages at its MIDI input, use the
INC/DEC buttons to select
ON V1
or
ON V2
. Select
OFF
to have the IDM01 ignore note
messages.
ON V1
is a normal linear velocity curve, and will not affect MIDI velocity data being
sent by the controller. For keyboards that do not provide a full range of velocity,
ON V2
will
allow the drums to be played at full volume without having to send full velocity from the MIDI
controller.

Select
ON V1
or
ON V2
if you're using the IDM01 as an expander module, or want to play real time
drum controllers into the IDM01 as it plays a Pattern or Song. Select
OFF
if you're using the IDM01 as a drum
machine slaved to a sequencer; when
OFF
, the IDM01 follows the sequencer timing data but not note data (you
don't want it to play other parts). Note that Clock In (page 5) must be on.

want the IDM01 to transmit note data.
Background
Select
ON
to send Pattern data into a sequencer for recording, or drive other drum sound expander
modules. If the IDM01 is acting as a drum machine and provides the master clock to a MIDI system, select
OFF
so that other devices don't respond to the MIDI note data.
