■Using the percussion group
The percussion group is used only when playing the TD-10
from an external MIDI controller, keyboard or sequencer.
fig.11-05e
The sounds in the percussion groups have their own inde-
pendent note number “map” in order to be played from an
external MIDI controller, and can be changed if you want.
* If the same note number is assigned to both a pad and an instru-
ment in the percussion group, the pad has “priority” and you
will only hear the sound assigned to that pad.
* For details on note number assignments, refer to the table on p.
150.

●Selecting a percussion group

The TD-10 contains four percussion groups and you can
assign one group per kit. When editing sounds in the per-
cussion group, you can play them from an external MIDI
controller or use the (PREVIEW) button. The position of the
cursor will determine which sound is assigned to the PRE-
VIEW button.

fig.11-08
Procedure
1. Press [KIT]-[F2 (FUNC)]-[F1 (PRCGRP)].
The “PERC GROUP” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] (left/right) to move the cursor to the
instrument name.
3. Use [CURSOR] (up/down) to move the cursor to the note
number whose instrument you wish to change.
* Instruments whose group name includes “ELEC,” “TR-808” or
“TR-909” cannot be used.
* If an indication such as “H1” is displayed at the instrument
name, a drum kit instrument is selected. For these note num-
bers, select an instrument in the “INST” page.
* When an external MIDI controller connected, playing a note on
the keyboard will move the cursor to the note number that you
played. “Note Chase” needs to be “ON” (p. 115).
