MIDI Settings

About MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a global standard that allows electronic musical instruments 

and computers to exchange performance data.
“MIDI Implementation Chart” (p. 70) is a chart that provides an easy way of checking which MIDI messages the OCTAPAD is 

able to receive. By comparing the MIDI implementation charts of the OCTAPAD and some other MIDI device, you can see 

which messages are compatible between the two devices.

Here’s how to make MIDI settings for each individual kit.

Ú

MIDI (p . 16) .

The KIT MIDI screen appears.

Value of each pad (Inst A is above, Inst B is below)

Value of external trigger inputs 1–4 (Head is above, Rim is 

below)

[Knob 2] (B) edits the Inst B (Rim) value. 

[Knob 3] (A) edits the Inst A (Head) value.

[Knob 1] (PAD SEL) 

selects the pad that 

you want to edit.

GBL, 1–16, OFF

MIDI channel on which each pad will transmit note messages.

If this is “OFF,” MIDI messages will not be transmitted. If this is “GBL,” MIDI messages will be transmitted on the 
“Global Channel” (p. 65) specified by the system settings.

The MIDI channel in Phrase Loop mode is specified by “Part 1–3 MIDI Ch.” (p. 51).

OFF, 0–127

MIDI note number transmitted by each pad.

Pads with conflicted note number with other pad are indicated by a “*” symbol in the screen.

0.1–8.0, ALT

Duration of the notes transmitted by each pad.

The gate time corresponds to the time between when a key is pressed and released on a MIDI keyboard (the 
time between note-on and note-off). You can specify a gate time in the range of 0.1 seconds to 8.0 seconds. If 
you choose ALT (Alternate), note-on and note-off messages will be transmitted alternately each time you hit the 
pad.
