Chapter 7 Making the MIDI Settings (SETUP/MIDI, BULK DUMP)

Setting Priority for Playing Drums and Percussion (Channel 10 Priority)

This setting is necessary when both drum kit part and percussion part are simultaneously assigned to Channel 10. When note numbers to which percussion part’s instruments are assigned (18 (F#0)–96 (C7)) are assigned to the pads, then select which instrument sounds are to be played when the note number is received.

When recording MIDI keyboard performances (p. 93) or loading external sequencer data to the TD-6 (p. 106), the data is stored to the sounded part according to this setting.

CH10Priorty (Channel 10 Priority): KIT, PERC

KIT (Drum Kit Part):

When overlapping note numbers are received, the drum kit part’s instrument (the pad instrument) is sounded.

PERC (Percussion Part):

The percussion part’s instrument is always played.

Hi-Hat Control Pedal Data Reduction (Pedal Data Thin)

This function allows you to prevent an excessive amount of data from being transmitted from the pedal to the internal sequencer or via the MIDI OUT.

When you want to make smooth changes in the pitch control with the Hi-Hat control Pedal, set this to “1” or “OFF.”

The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.

PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin): OFF, 1, 2

OFF:

Data sent from the pedal is not reduced.

1:

This reduces the data sent from the pedal. Usually, “1” is selected.

2:

This reduces the data sent from the pedal. This setting results in even less data than when “1” is selected.
