This can be used to drive a sequencer, or drum machine, etc. either synchronized to a time base, or a MIDI clock (see below for an explanation of how this works). The MIDI OUT is also used to drive a MIDI instrument as a metronome (see "Metronome" on page 34). A MIDI instrument can be connected to the A and B inputs, or mixed with the recorded tracks from the analog outputs if it is fed into the STEREO MIX inputs. MIDI Clock, etc. The MIDI song control messages put out by the DP-01 from the MIDI OUT port include tempo (MIDI Clock), bar and beat information (Song Position Pointer), and Start/Stop/Continue messages. This way of working is particularly suitable for synchronizing with bar/beat-based MIDI devices such as drum machines and rhythm units. You must set a tempo and time signature on the DP-01 ("Tempo setting" on page 33) to use this feature. 1 2 Press MENU and scroll down to MIDI and press the y key.
