Receive Midi Drum Notes (Drum In); Transmit Midi Drum Notes (Drum Out) - ION Electronic Drum Kit Owner's Manual

6.2 PAGE 2: RECEIVE MIDI DRUM NOTES (DRUM IN)
The display shows DRUM IN. This page features two different MIDI input velocity curves (ON
V1 and ON V2). To have the IDM01 receive note messages at its MIDI input, use the
INC/DEC buttons to select ON V1 or ON V2. Select OFF to have the IDM01 ignore note
messages. ON V1 is a normal linear velocity curve, and will not affect MIDI velocity data being
sent by the controller. For keyboards that do not provide a full range of velocity, ON V2 will
allow the drums to be played at full volume without having to send full velocity from the MIDI
controller.
Background Select ON V1 or ON V2 if you're using the IDM01 as an expander module, or want to play real time
drum controllers into the IDM01 as it plays a Pattern or Song. Select OFF if you're using the IDM01 as a drum
machine slaved to a sequencer; when OFF, the IDM01 follows the sequencer timing data but not note data (you
don't want it to play other parts). Note that Clock In (page 5) must be on.
6.3 PAGE 3: TRANSMIT MIDI DRUM NOTES (DRUM OUT)
The display shows DRUM OUT. To have the IDM01 output MIDI note data from pad hits or
when playing a Pattern/Song, use the INC/DEC buttons to select ON. Select OFF if you don't
want the IDM01 to transmit note data.
Background Select ON to send Pattern data into a sequencer for recording, or drive other drum sound expander
modules. If the IDM01 is acting as a drum machine and provides the master clock to a MIDI system, select OFF
so that other devices don't respond to the MIDI note data.
