CONNECTIONS
AUX INPUT
This input allows you to mix the input from external
audio sources with the SD600 module’s internal
sounds.
1. Plug the audio output of your smartphone, MP3
player, or other audio source into the AUX IN jack on
the back panel.
CONNECTING MIDI DEVICES AND COMPUTERS
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
which is a world-wide standard communication
interface that enables electronic musical instruments
and computers (of all brands) to communicate with
each other. MIDI sends note and other communication
between devices. This exchange of information makes
it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and
devices that offer 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.
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS MIDI
The SD600 includes Bluetooth wireless MIDI for
connection to apps like the Simmons Drums App for iOS.
See page 25 for connection instructions.
USB MIDI CONNECTION
The USB connector allows you to connect the module
directly to your computer. It can be connected without
driver installation under the Windows & macOS
environment. The module will be recognized to receive
and transmit MIDI messages through a single USB cable,
USB is used only for MIDI messages (MIDI via USB). The
SD600 module will appear as “SD600” in the USB device
options of your software.
NOTE: When the USB is connected to a computer, all
MIDI messages will be received and transmitted via USB.
