One of the two different MIDI output formats can be selected for the Drum Module: the internal format (default setting) and the GM format.
Drum Module
The internal format is used when the Drum Module works as sound source ( Module with USB host device by USB, and send midi data to another Drum Module. One Drum Module can't connect to another Drum Module by USB
The GM format is used when some other sound source applied (Drum Module to other product which support GM format), such as computer. If you record your own drum play to PC software with internal format, then only the drum module could recognize and playback your own song(recorded midi file) correctly. Nevertheless, if you would like to playback your recorded midi song in any sound source device which support GM format ,we suggest you to record your own drum performance with GM format output.
