Parameter Value Descriptions
MIDI Ch
(MIDI Channel)
OFF, 1–16 Set the MIDI channel. If set to OFF, the SPD-S will not send or receive any MIDI messages, in-
cluding system exclusive messages.
LocalControl
(Local Control)
OFF, ON Make settings for recording performance on the SPD-S using an external MIDI sequencer.
Make connections as portrayed in the diagram below. Set it to OFF to first send performance
data to the external sequencer and then to the SPD-S sound generator, instead of directly send-
ing them to the SPD-S sound generator.
OFF: Playing surfaces such as pads are separated from the SPD-S sound generator. The in-
ternal sound generator produces no sound when a playing surface is struck.
ON: Playing surfaces such as pads are associated with the SPD-S sound generator. The in-
ternal sound generator produces sound when a playing surface is struck.
If you record while this parameter is set to ON, the performance data that has been
sent directly to the SPD-S sound generator will be mixed with the data that has
travelled via the external sequencer, producing an improper performance.
Soft Thru OFF, ON Enable or disable the function to output through the MIDI OUT connector any data received at
the MIDI IN connector (other than system exclusive data) in addition to the SPD-S performance
data.
If this function is not necessary, set it to OFF to improve the response to performance
data from the playing surfaces.
Device ID 1–32 It needs to be set only when you want to send individual bulk data to two or more SPD-S units
at the same time. In this case, assign a unique number to each SPD-S device. In any other cases,
do not change the setting.
If you forget the device IDs used for saving data in a bulk dump, the bulk data that
was saved cannot be retrieved. The factory setting is
17
.
PC Tx/Rx OFF, ON Select whether to transmit and receive program change messages. When it is set to OFF, the
SPD-S does not cause or receive any effect of program change messages (generated with any
change in a patch on the SPD-S) to or from external MIDI devices connected.
CC Tx/Rx OFF, ON Select whether to transmit and receive control change messages. When it is set to OFF, the SPD-
S does not cause or receive any effect of control change messages (generated with the operation
of knobs on the panel of the SPD-S) to or from external MIDI devices connected.
If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [FUNC], the parameter is reset to its initial value.
