MlDl allows.rhythm triggsring and programming of the HR-16 from external MlDl devices,
such as keyboards or drum pads that are equipped wilh MlDl. Also, MlDl can be used to
sync dif{erent devicss to tho HR-16, save and recall the memory using an external disk
drive v-ia MlDl system exclusive data dump, and receive program ihange-commands which
willcall up patlerns.
The program change command is useful for accessing ditt€rsnt sets ol sounds when
lriggering sounds from drum pads or sequsncsrs.
lf a new program change command is received while the HR-16 is in PLAY mode,
lhe program nurnber will select the next pattern to play alter the current pattern is
linished.
Thg HR-1 6 has two stereo outputs (four individual outputs). The volume slider is active on
only ths firsl stereo outpul (output 1). In addition, il only one side of an output is
connacted, the stsreo mix assigned on ihat storso output becomes a mono mix on that
single output. This saves having lo reconstruct a mono mix from a stereo mix, when only a
single output is being used.
Using Four outputs, assign ths kick to output 2 pann6d hard lott and the snarg to outout 2
panned hard right. This leaves all other drums on output I panned in slereo as desired
and the kick and snare assignsd to th6k own output.
