CHAPTER 6: MIDI SETUP

This menu accesses important MIDI functions. General instructions are:

1. Press the MIDI SETUP button.

2. Use the Page (up and down) buttons to select different "pages" of functions; the

display's lower right window shows the page number. These pages are described

below.

3. Adjust values on pages, if necessary, as described for each page.

4. After making all needed changes, press MIDI SETUP again to exit, or choose

another page.

All the parameters on the following pages remain as set, even if you turn off power,

until changed.

6.1 PAGE 1: TRANSMIT PATTERN DATA VIA MIDI

The display shows PAT. OUT. To have the

Performance Pad output MIDI pattern data when

playing a Pattern/Song, use the INC/DEC

buttons to select ON. Select OFF if you don't

want the Performance Pad to transmit pattern

data.

Background Select ON to send Pattern data

into a sequencer for recording, or drive other drum sound expander modules. If the

Performance Pad 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.

6.2 PAGE 2: SEND CLOCK DATA TO OTHER DEVICES (CLOCKOUT)

The display shows CLOCKOUT. To have the

Performance Pad generate timing data at its

MIDI out, use the INC/DEC buttons to select

ON. Select OFF to inhibit MIDI timing signals

from appearing at the MIDI out jack.

Background The Performance Pad can

generate timing signals to which other devices

can synchronize if:

• The external device (sequencer, drum machine, etc.) can respond to MIDI timing

signals.

• These signals go from the Performance Pad's MIDI out to the external device's MIDI

in.

• CLOCKOUT is ON.

6.3 PAGE 3: TRANSMIT PAD HIT DATA VIA MIDI

The display shows PADS OUT. To have the

Performance Pad transmit MIDI note data when

you strike the pads, use the INC/DEC buttons to

select ON. Select OFF to disable the

transmission of MIDI data when pads are hit.
