One of the two different MIDI output formats can be select for the
Digital Drum: the internal format (default setting) and the GM format.
The internal format is used when the Digital Drum works as sound
module (Digital Drum to Digital Drum); The GM format is used when
some other sound module applied (the Digital Drum to other product), 
such as computer. 

When the internal format is selected, the LED shows: "P-N", which
means program change and then note-on/off' (program change will
always be transmitted for internal voice bank addressing).
When the GM format is selected, the LED shows: "--N", which means
only the 'note-on/off' will be transmitted (GM percussion note
arrangement, program change not supported!).

NOTE

: This setting will only affect the primary percussion channel 

(MIDI channel 10).
