MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication
interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers to communicate with each
other so that instructions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information
makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers,
sequencers, expanders or other equipment your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For
instance, you can edit your playing in computer or playback MIDI song from computer while play
the drum.
USB - The USB connector allows you to connect the drum directly to your
computer. It can connected without driver installation under the Windows
XP, Windows Vista & MAC OSX environment. The drum will be recognized
as USB Audio device to receive and transmit the same MIDI messages
described above.
