HR-16
QUICK
BASIC
SETUP
1.
Connect
output
1
(either
left
,
right
or both) to
a
suitable
monitoring
system.
If
output 2
is
connected,
the desired
drum pads
must be
assigned
to
output
2
using the
MIX
button
(See
MIX.)
2.
Connect
the
MIDI
IN
jack
of
the
HR-16
to
the
MIDI
OUT
jack
of
a sequencer, an
external
drum pad
controller,
or
a keyboard.
3.
Connect
the
MIDI
OUT
jack
of
the
HR-
16
to
other
MIDI
sound
sources
when
daisey
chaining
MIDI devices
or
to
an
external
drum
source.
The
MIDI
OUT
jack also
doubles as a
MIDI
THRU
jack
and
both
MIDI
IN
data
and
data
produced on
the
HR-16
are present
at
the
MIDI
OUT
jack
if
desired.
AUDIO
For stand alone
operation the
MIDI
jacks
need
not
be
connected.
MIDI
allows
rhythm
triggering
and programming
of
the
HR-16
from
external
MIDI
devices,
such
as
keyboards
or
drum
pads
that
are
equipped
with
MIDI.
Also,
MIDI can be used
to
sync
different
devices
to
the
HR-16, save and
recall
the
memory
using
an
external disk
drive via
MIDI system
exclusive
data
dump,
and
receive
program change
commands
which
will
call
up
patterns.
The
program change
command
is
useful
for
accessing
different
sets
of
sounds
when
triggering
sounds
from
drum pads
or
sequencers.
Program change
commands
are
ignored during
PLAY
mode.
The HR-16
has two
stereo outputs
(four individual
outputs).
The
volume
slider
is
active
on
only the
first
stereo output
(output
1).
In
addition,
if
only
one
side
of
an
output
is
connected,
the stereo
mix assigned
on
that
stereo output
becomes
a
mono
mix
on
that
single output.
This
saves
having
to
reconstruct
a
mono
mix from a stereo
mix,
when
only
a
single
output
is
being used.
Using Four
outputs,
assign the
kick
to
output
2
panned
hard
left
and
the
snare
to
output
2
panned
hard
right.
This leaves
all
other
drums
on
output
1
panned
in
stereo
as
desired
and
the
kick
and
snare assigned
to their
own
output.

more
information
on
setting
up
drum machines
and sequencers, see

Manual.
