MIDI Channels
In order to exchange performance data between
an external MIDI device and the DR-670, the
MIDI channel settings must be the same for both
devices. Performance data can be exchanged
successfully only when the MIDI channels match.
Performance Data Handled by
the DR-670
Note Messages
These are messages that convey the performance
status of drum parts and bass parts. These are
equivalent to the performance data for keys on a
keyboard. The different kinds of Note messages
are shown below.
Note Number:
Key pad number to which an
instrument or bass tone is assigned
Note On:
Key pad is tapped
Note Off:
Key pad is released
Velocity:
Force used to tap the key pad
◆
This correspondence of the DR-670’s key
pads to Note Number as shown below.
fig.09-08b
When you tap one of the DR-670’s key pads, the
Note Number for that key pad is transmitted.
When a Note Number is received from an
external MIDI device, the instrument or bass
tone assigned to the key pad corresponding to
that Note Number is played.
* Note Numbers that do not correspond to any of
the key pads are disregarded if received.
Program Change
This message switches the drum kit.
* Program Change messages are not output in
Song Edit mode.
* For more information on the messages that can be
handled by the devices you are connecting, refer
to the owner’s manual for each device.
■
Setting the MIDI Channel
In order to have the performance data be
transmitted and received correctly, the
transmitting and receiving devices must be set to
the same channel.
Settings Values: 1–16, OFF
fig.09-09
