9.10 UNIT – MIDI
On this page, you can change the global MIDI settings.
PRCHG You can choose between on and off. If you have selected "On", the DrumIt Three module
can both send and receive MIDI program change messages. This is useful. e.g. changing
KITs via a MIDI keyboard or, in the reverse case, to control an external MIDI device from
the DrumIt-Three-module.
LOCAL Turn LOCAL "Off" to disable the internal sound engine. Now the DrumIt Three only
transmits MIDI messages and no longer triggers the internal sounds. This setting is
useful if you want to control an external sound source without having the DrumIt Three
sound engine always playing along.
THRU When you switch from "Off" to "On" here, MIDI-IN- signals are routed directly to the MIDI-
OUT This way, an external MIDI device can control both the DrumIt-Three-module and
another MIDI device connected to the DrumIt Three.
CHAN Here you can specify on which MIDI channel program changes and MIDI note messages
for the various trigger channels will be sent and received. Please note that the global
MIDI channel (Program Change) setting made here can be set to an individually trigger
channel (see also menu UNIT-INF explained on page 52).
PED Set here the controller format for the foot controller of the hihat. You can choose between
CC1 (modulation wheel) and CC4 (pedal control). For each controller format there are 4
different modes.
▼: value 0 for the open and value 127 for the closed hihat
▼!: In difference to ▼ the controller data is sent continuously and not just once with the
NOTE-ON command.
▲: value 0 with closed and value 127 with open hihat
▲!: In comparison to ▲ the controller data is sent continuously and not just once with
the NOTE-ON command.
