CU 15 Using the MIDI/Utility Mode The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals, located on the DD-50's right side panel, offer broadened musical possibilities through use of MIDI. Here are a few examples. What is MIDI? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a world wide standard that makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices, such as computers, to "communicate" with each other. For example, by connecting a MIDI tone generator to the DD-50's MIDI OUT terminal, you can play the tone generator's voices from the DD-50's pads and pedals. The DD-50 is equipped with two types of MIDI terminals, both are located on the right side panel. q MIDI IN Data transmitted from other MIDI instruments via MIDI, is received at this terminal. q MIDI OUT Data produced by the DD-50, is transmitted to other MIDI instruments via MIDI from this terminal. · Use a MIDI cable (option), obtainable at your local music dealer, when making MIDI connections. (Cables longer than 15 meters can pick up "noise" which can cause data errors. ) MIDI OUT MIDI IN What you can do with MIDI DD-50 MIDI Keyboard's MIDI OUT MIDI IN q Connect the DD-50's MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI keyboard's (or tone generator's) MIDI IN jack. This setup allows you to use the DD-50's pads to control another MIDI instrument. Playing the DD-50's pads will result in the other MIDI instrument's voice sounding simultaneously, creating a thicker overall sound. q Connect the DD-50's MIDI OUT jack to a MIDI sequencer's MIDI IN terminal. Data produced by the DD-50 (Key ON and Velocity data) can be recorded to a MIDI sequencer. q Connect the DD-50's MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI keyboard's MIDI OUT terminal. In this setup the DD-50 can be used as a tone generator and its voices can be played from a MIDI keyboard. Using a keyboard as a controller, it is possible to play DD-50 voices that are not assigned to the pads/pedals. q Connect the DD-50's MIDI IN terminal to a MIDI sequencer's MIDI OUT terminal. The sequencer's data can be used to drive the DD-50's sounds.

Setting the Clock Connecting the DD-50, by MIDI cable, to an external MIDI device, such as a sequencer, time based functions (song playback, etc. ) must be controlled by the internal clock (I) or an external clock (E). When the internal clock (I) is enabled, timing will be controlled by the DD-50's internal clock. When an external clock (E) selected, time based functions will be controlled by the sequencer's or computer's clock.
