mented. This will speed up MIDI transfer times considerably, which is handy if you for
example want to transfer sysex data or samples to another Machinedrum.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT of your Machinedrum to the MIDI IN of the other unit and the
MIDI IN of your Machinedrum to the MIDI OUT of the other unit.
2. Press [FUNCTION] + [PATTERN/SONG] to open up the GLOBAL menu. Use the
[ARROW] keys to select TURBO. Press [ENTER/YES].
3. CURRENT SPEED shows the current multiplier of the MIDI transfer rate. When not con-
nected to a device using Turbo protocol compatible software, the speed will therefore be
x1.0. Select which NEGOTIATE speed you want use. The Machinedrum defaults to x10,
but this value can be lowered should it be needed. Press the [ENTER/YES] button to
start to negotiate. The CURRENT SPEED value will display the change of the MIDI
transfer rate.
• If you link two Machinedrums together where one of them is a MKI model, you
might not be able to get a CURRENT SPEED value exceeding 6.7x.
CONTROL
Here you choose how the Machinedrum will function in a MIDI context. For MKII versions,
this menu also allows you to select the resolution of the encoders.
BASE CHANNEL
Here you set which MIDI channels the Machinedrum will respond and send data to.
Follow these steps to set the MIDI base channel.
