Other Applications Of The Ddti - ddrum DDTi Reference Manual

OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THE DDTi

The DDTi can be used for a variety of applications which use MIDI
as their control protocol. For example, the DDTi can be used to
trigger melodic sounds on sound modules or VST instruments.
This means that you can play pitched instruments, such as
vibraphones, marimbas, xylophone, even a piano or a violin,
straight from the DDTi.
As you have already seen throughout this manual, the DDTi uses
MIDI Note information to trigger events, such as drum hits.
However, MIDI Notes also represent actual musical notes and
pitches (much like keys on a piano). This allows pitched content to
be played from MIDI devices (such as the DDTi).
For this reason, we include a handy chart which shows you how
MIDI Note Numbers correspond to musical pitches (as shown on a
piano keyboard). The musical pitches are followed by their
corresponding MIDI Note Numbers in ( ).
You can use this chart to help you quickly setup the DDTi for
working with pitched content.
