MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication inter-
face that enables electronic musical instruments and computers to communicate with each other so that
instructions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information makes it possible to
create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is
available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or
other equipment your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For instance, you can edit your playing
in computer or playback MIDI song from computer while play the drum.

connected without driver installation under the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windos
7 & MAC OSx environment. The drum will be recognized as USB Audio device to
receive and transmit the same MIDI messages described above.
