NOTE↓ Here you can specify with which MIDI note the respective channel will send and receive
"NOTE ON" and "NOTE OFF" messages with. Channels with multiple zones use a
consecutive sequence of MIDI notes (see also ZONES, as well as explanations about
MIDI notes on page
12). Push the DATA controller while holding the MORE button to
toggle between the display of the note (e.g. "C1") and the display of the respective MIDI
note number (e.g. "24").
The MIDI note number "0" equals the MIDI note "C-1“. You can use the range from 0 (C-
1) to 127 (G9).
Default MIDI Configuration (see also page 12)
Explanations to the figure:
P1 to P5 = PERC channels (see also explanations on PERC channels on page 13)
o = choke function (G4, D5 and G5)
MIDI Messages Hi-Hat and Cymbals
A cymbal stroke at the zones 1 (Bell), 4 (Bow) or 8 (Edge) generates a NOTE ON and a NOTE
OFF command. A choke generates a NOTE ON command which continues until the pad is
released (NOTE OFF).
Playing the hi-hat in the zones 4 or 8 also generates both a NOTE ON and NOTE OFF signal.
Parallel to this, the DrumIt Three module produces pedal controller data. When you step on
the hi-hat pedal (Zone 9), initially only a NOTE ON message is generated. When the pedal
moves back up, a NOTE OFF message is transmitted. The time between the NOTE ON and
NOTE OFF message determines whether a chick (long duration) or a foot splash sound (short
duration) is generated.
