The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals on the back of the Digital Drum
provide expanded musical potential through the use of MIDI.
■ What is MIDI?
The letters “MIDI” stand for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” MIDI is
a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that makes it possi-
ble for musical instruments and computers (devices) produced by different
manufacturers to communicate with each other. For example, you could
connect a MIDI tone generator to the Digital Drum’s MIDI OUT terminal and
play the tone generator’s voices using the Digital Drum’s pads and pedals.
■ MIDI Terminals
The MIDI terminals of your Digital Drum are located on its rear panel.
MIDI IN
Data transmitted from the MIDI OUT terminal of another MIDI device is
received at this terminal.
MIDI OUT
Digital Drum data can be transmitted form this terminal to the MIDI IN
terminal of another MIDI device.

■ What you can do with MIDI
Connect the Digital Drum’s MIDI OUT terminal to a MIDI
keyboard’s MIDI IN terminal.
This setup lets you use the Digital Drum’s pads and pedals to control the
keyboard.
See NOTE, below, for details.
Connect the Digital Drum’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI
keyboard’s MIDI OUT terminal.
With this setup, the Digital Drum acts as a tone generator played by key-
board operations.
Connect the Digital Drum’s MIDI OUT terminal to a MIDI
sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal.
You can use this configuration to record output from the Digital Drum on an
external MIDI sequencer.
Connect the Digital Drum’s MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI
sequencer’s MIDI OUT terminal.
This configuration makes it possible to use sequencer data to drive the
Digital Drum.

NOTE
• Drum pad lights do not light when MIDI data is played on the Digital Drum.
• You can use the pads and pedals to play the 76 percussion sounds* built
into this keyboard. The percussion sounds have program change* and note
numbers* assigned to them, which means that a message is sent from the
keyboard’s MIDI terminal when you operate a pad or pedal.
*
See the “Percussion Sound List” on page A-1 for details.
