Data Synchronized with the DR-3
The following MIDI messages are handled
during synchronization with the DR-3.
•
Start
• Timing Clock
• Continue
• Song Select
• Stop
• Song Position Pointer
* For more information on the MIDI messages handled by
the devices you are connecting, refer to the owner’s
manual for each device.
* When synchronizing a drum machine connected to the
DR-3, you should set things up so that sounds are not
played by the DR-3’s internal sound generator in
response to Note messages received from the connected
drum machine. Either prevent Note messages from being
transmitted by the connected device, or set the DR-3 so it
doesn’t receive Note messages. For more on the DR-3’s
MIDI channel settings, refer to the following.
■ Setting the MIDI Channels

the MIDI channels for the transmitting and
receiving devices must be matched.
