Fast answer

Set OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY to MIDI, include MIDI in OUTPUT TO, and use an external PAD DEST setting. DIN 24 and DIN 48 do not carry MIDI notes.

Try these checks

  1. Open GLOBAL SETTINGS → MIDI CONFIG → PORT CONFIG and choose MIDI for OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY.
  2. Set OUTPUT TO to MIDI or MIDI+USB for the physical MIDI OUT socket.
  3. Set PAD DEST to INT + EXT if the pads should play Rytm and external gear, then check the receiving instrument’s channel.

Diagnose it

Is OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY set to DIN 24 or DIN 48?

Yes: Switch it to MIDI for note messages.

No: Check OUTPUT TO, PAD DEST and the destination’s channel.

What should happen

Pad presses can send MIDI through the enabled physical output.

Why this happens

The same socket supports different signal types, and pad output has another destination switch.

If it still doesn’t work

Check the connections and settings described above. If your device behaves differently, email us with its model, firmware version and the steps you tried.
