the ring receives start and stop commands.

Hint:  

When   using   MIDI   CCs   to   dynamically   change   sound   parameters,   it   is

recommended to use the drum kit on MIDI-notes 36 to 47. Higher notes already
use MIDI CCs internally. See table MIDI implementation.

Sound-, MIDI- and shuffle-settings can be saved, making them available when
turning the unit back on. To do so, press MIDI
