Making the Settings for MIDI

Using the Digital Drum as a Sound Module

Connecting an external keyboard or sequencer to the MIDI
Input allows you to use the digital drum as a multi-part,
polyphonic sound module to play various instrument parts in
addition to your drums (for instance, Piano on Channel 1, Bass
on Channel 2, Strings on Channel 3, etc). The voices on each
MIDI channel are selected usingMIDI Program Change
messages (refer to GM Backing Instrument List ).
The MIDI system in the digital drum has 16 reception channels
numbered from 1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for a
voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an
external device, the active channel is determined by the control
message. Channel 10 is reserved for Drums. The digital drum
has two options for Channel 10: GM ON or OFF, as selected in
UTILITY MIDI menu.
When GM Mode is ON,Channel 10 will play the GM percussion
kits.
When GM Mode is OFF, Channel 10 will play the digital drum
internal kits.
Note:
For more information on received MIDI messages, refer to MIDI
implementation chart.
