Using the SPD-20X as a MIDI Sound Module

Incoming MIDI messages from an external device can also trigger the SPD-20's sounds. The
Instruments specified by the sound parameters for each pad will be played by incoming note
messages of the Note Number specified for each pad.

Setting the MIDI Channel (MIDI CH) for Each Pad

The SPD-20X receives MIDI note messages corresponding to its MIDI CH setting. Program Change
messages and Control Change messages are received on Channel 10. When using an external
MIDI device to play the SPD-20X's sound generator, set the MIDI Channel of the external MIDI
device accordingly.
