Page 9: Making Connections
SYNC IN, SYNC OUT jacks Connect to the SYNC IN and OUT jacks on the KORG Volca series, to synchro- nize with the output pulses and steps. The SYNC OUT jack outputs a 5V pulse, 15 ms long at the beginning of each step. Use a stereo mini-cable for this connection.
Page 10 AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R. MIDI device MIDI IN, OUT connectors: Use these connectors to connect the drumlogue to an external MIDI device for exchanging MIDI messages. Make sure that the MIDI channels are set appropriately ("Connecting Devices via MIDI" p.49).

Page 47 In order to achieve synchronization with other units, the polarity of the SYNC IN jack may need to be changed. RISE: The drumlogue will sync to the pulse as it rises to its crest (the highest point) of the waveform.
Page 48 In order for other units to correctly sync with the drumlogue, the polarity of the SYNC OUT jack may need to be changed. RISE: The drumlogue will create a sync pulse as it rises to its crest (the highest point) of the waveform.
Page 49: Understanding Midi And Computers
MIDI data can also be exchanged between the drumlogue and your personal computer using a single USB cable. The drumlogue lets you assign MIDI control change numbers (CC#) to the major parameters that affect the sound, and control these parameters from an external MIDI sequencer while you play the tone generator.
Page 50: Midi-Related Settings
You also might want to use the drumlogue as both an input device for playing notes and as a MIDI tone generator. In either case, you’ll need to connect the MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector on both the drumlogue and the external MIDI sequencer or computer.
Page 51: Connecting A Computer
You can play music by connecting a MIDI controller, etc. to this jack. For example, if you connect KORG nanoPAD 2, you can trigger and play each part with Velocity. Devices with high current consumption (5V/200mA or more) other than a...
Page 52 <supported format and encodings> drumlogue natively uses WAV files encoded in 32 bit float with a sampling rate of 48KHz. WAV files encoded in signed 16/24/32 bit PCM and other common sampling rates are supported, but will be automatically converted upon startup.

Miscellaneous Restoring the Factory settings You can restore the drumlogue’s preset Programs and global settings to their origi- nal factory-set state at any time. Begin with the drumlogue turned Off. While holding down the SHIFT button and the (REC) button, turn the drumlogue On.
