MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that allows performance data and other information to be exchanged
among electronic musical instruments and computers. With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI connectors equipped device, you can play
multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings to change kits
automatically to match the performance as the song progress, and more.
MIDI CONNECTION
MIDI IN: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.

MIDI devices.
USB CONNECTION
The USB connector allows you to connect the digital drum directly to your computer. It can be connected without installing a driver
in Windows XP/Vista/Win7 or MAC OSX environments (32bit only). The digital drum will be recognized as a “USB Audio device” to
receive and transmit MIDI messages through a single USB cable. The USB port is used only for MIDI messages (MIDI via USB)

nected to a computer, all MIDI messages will be received and transmitted via USB.
