Setting the MIDI Note Number
After entering the MIDI/Utility mode, press the [KIT] button, the
MIDI note number currently assigned to Pad 1 will appear in the dis-
play.
Strike any pad to see the currently assigned MIDI note number for the
pad in the display.
Sharp notes are indicated by a beat lamp on the right side of the dis-
play.
To select the desired MIDI note number, turn the DIAL to the right
(clockwise) and the MIDI note numbers will increase. Turn the DIAL
to the left (counter-clockwise) and MIDI note numbers will decrease.
You can also select the MIDI note number by striking the pad repeatedly.
Every time the pad is struck, the value will increase by semitone steps.
After you’ve assigned each pad to a MIDI note number as desired, exit
the MIDI/Utility mode.
For information on transmit notes and voices, refer to the DD-55 “Drum
Map” on page 38.
When the Pad Assign or Kit Assign is set, the MIDI Note Number will be
applied to the preset value. If the Auto Kit Select is set to ON and another
Song is selected, the MIDI Note Number will be applied to the preset
value.
Auto Kit Select is automatically turned off when a MIDI Note Number is
changed.
