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.
