MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, this is a

world-wide standard communication interface that enables

electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands)

to communicate with each other so that instructions and other

data can pass between them. This exchange of information

makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and

devices that offer far greater versatility and control than is

available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with

computers, sequencers, expanders or other controllers, your

musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.

MIDI connection

MIDI IN: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external

MIDI device.

MIDI OUT: This terminal transmits data from this instrument

to other MIDI devices.

USB connection

the USB connector allows you to connect the module directly to

your computer. It can be connected without driver installation

under the Windows XP & MAC OSX environment. The module

will be recognized as 'USB Audio device' to receive and transmit

MIDI messages through a single USB cable, USB is used only

for MIDI messages(MIDI via USB).

Note: When the USB is connected to a computer, all MIDI messages

will be received and transmitted via USB.

MIDI channels

MIDI channel 10: Primary percussion channel

MIDI channel 9: Secondary percussion channel

MIDI channel 1~8, 11~16: Melody voice channels

LOCAL mode

From a MIDI point of view, the module is composed of two

'devices':

* A controller transmitting data: the pads and Hi-Hat control

pedal (via an internal trigger to MIDI converter)

* A sound generator receiving MIDI data (the sound module).

In normal operation (Local ON, default mode), those two

devices are connected together internally, allowing the pads

to play the voices from the sound module without any external

connection. When setting Local mode to Local OFF mode in

the Utility menu, this internal link is disconnected. The sound

module receives MIDI messages via MIDI input only, not from

the pads anymore. However, the pad trigger data is still sent

to the MIDI output, therefore looping externally the MIDI out

of the module back to its MIDI In will enable the pads to play

the voices from the sound module. Local OFF mode is intended

to be used when both the MIDI input and output (or the USB

port) of the module are connected to a MIDI sequencer with

soft thru function (which loops the MIDI data received from

the MIDI output back to the MIDI input). This prevents doubling

or flanging effect when playing the pads (caused by the sound

generator receiving the same MIDI data both directly from

the pads and back through the sequencer).
