About MIDI
Connection to an external sound device
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that al-
lows you to exchange data and information between electronic
musical instruments and computers. With a MIDI cable and a
device equipped with MIDI connections, you can play different
instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple instruments
play as an ensemble to automatically change the settings of
the kits, adjust performance during the song, and much more.
MIDI connection
MIDI IN:
This connector receives MIDI files from an
external MIDI device.
MIDI OUT: This port is used to transfer files from the
digital drum to other MIDI devices
USB connection
The USB connection lets you connect your digital drum directly
to a computer. You can even connect it without any driver in-
stallation if you are using Windows XP/Vista/Win7 or MAC
OSX. The digital drum is automatically recognized as a "USB
audio device" to receive or send MIDI files via USB cable. The
USB port is only usable for MIDI files (MIDI via USB).
Please note:
When the USB port is connected to a computer, all MIDI files
are received and sent via USB.
The digital drum transmission channel for the drum kit is on
channel 10. It sends MIDI files generated by the triggers as
soon as the pads are hit or the HiHat pedal is pressed. Song
files or metronome sounds are not transferred.

the sequencer. Then connect the MIDI OUT of the sequencer

quencer on a computer, connect the USB output of the drum
to the USB port of the computer using a USB A-B cable.

press RECORD.
