MIDI out format

Drum Module must connect to computer or other 

Module with USB host device by USB, and send midi data to 
another Drum Module. One Drum Module can't connect to another
Drum Module by USB

If you record your own drum play to PC software with internal format, 
then only the drum module could recognize and playback your own 
song(recorded midi file) correctly. 
Nevertheless, if you would like to playback your recorded midi song 
in any sound source device which support GM format ,we suggest 
you to record your own drum performance with GM format output.

One of the two different MIDI output formats can be selected for
the Drum Module: the internal format (default setting) and the GM 
format.

The internal format is used when the Drum Module works as
sound source (

). 

The GM format is used when some other sound source applied
 (Drum Module to other product which support GM format), such 
as computer.

In pattern selecting mode, press [pattern] button to enter MIDI 
output format choice mode, LED displays that the current MIDI 
output format “P-N”(default setting, internal format) or “--N”(GM 
format), it can be switched by pressing [+] and [-] button.

If the internal format (P-N) is selected, which means “program 
change” and “note on/off” be transmitted. When the GM format
(--N) is selected, which means only 'note on/off' will be transmitted.

Note: 
The above setting only affect to the primary percussion channel.
(MIDI channel 10)
