SYSTEM
The MIDI function has several modes. You cycle through these modes by pressing the SYSTEM
button repeatedly.
C. 1-16 This selects the MIDI channel that the ddrum4 is using. The selected channel will be
used for transmitting and receiving MIDI data.
P. On-OF This allows you to choose whether the ddrum4 shall receive and transmit Program
Change messages and Control Change messages or not. Please read the appendix regarding
how the ddrum4 interprets these messages on page 26.
L. On-OF This is the MIDI Local Control function. It is used if you are transmitting your playing
via MIDI to a sequencer, an external sound source or a computer. If local is switched off, it
prevents the pads (trigger inputs) from playing the internal sounds directly. Your playing,
however, will be transmitted through the MIDI output as MIDI note numbers. To hear yourself
playing, make sure that the sequencer or computer is echoing the MIDI notes back to the
MIDI input on the ddrum4. This creates a MIDI loop. If local is left on, this could cause
double triggers and flamming when the MIDI notes arrive back at the MIDI input and trigger
the sounds again.
A. On-OF This toggles if the ddrum4 shall receive and transmit After Touch messages or not. This
will only be transmitted from those inputs/channels that are connected to appropriate pads that
are able to transmit aftertouch to the ddrum4. Those inputs are number 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10.
d. AL, SY, PA, 1 ~ 26
This is where you can initiate a MIDI System Exclusive dump, to be able to store the
settings in the ddrum4 to a sequencer or a computer. The first option is all the system settings
(AL). SY is the system functions, PA dumps the Palette settings and by choosing a number, you
can transmit any individual Kit setting. You initiate the transmission procedure by pressing
SHIFT-EXIT. While transmitting the data, the DISPLAY will show a t for the short moment it takes,
to perform the transmission.
F. --, AL, SY, PA, 1 ~ 26
This allows you to initialize different settings in the ddrum4 to the factory settings. The
several possibilities are the same as described above for the MIDI System Exclusive dump.
Press
SHIFT-EXIT to initialize desired option to the factory settings. The DISPLAY will show an L.
during the initialization. The -- option acts as a safeguard to prevent accidental initialization.
