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

Set the Device ID (Device ID)

The setting described here is necessary only when you wish to transmit separate data to two or more TD-6V units at the same time. Do not change this setting in any other case.

At the factory settings, the device ID is set to “17.”

Example:

When saving data using Bulk Dump (p. 103), save using “17” as the TD-6V Device ID. When re-transmitting this data back to the TD-6V, it won’t receive if the Device ID is set to something other than “17.” Even if you happen to have another TD-6V connected, data will not be received if the Device ID is set to something other than “17.”

If you lose track of the Device ID setting that was used when saving data via a bulk dump, it will no longer be possible to reload the bulk data that was saved.

Setting the TD-6V So That Program Changes Are Not Transmitted (Tx PC Sw)

The TD-6V sends a Program Change message to external devices when the drums kit is switched. If this is “OFF”, Program Changes will not be transmitted.

The TD-6V’s drum kit program numbers are always the same as the drum kit numbers; this relationship is fixed, and cannot be changed.

The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.

Tx PC Sw (Tx PC Switch): OFF, ON

OFF:

Program Change messages are not transmitted, even when drums kits are switched.

ON:

Program Change messages are transmitted when drum kits are switched.

Setting the TD-6V So That Program Changes Are Not Received (Rx PC Sw)

The TD-6V’s drum kits are switched when a Program Change message is received from an external MIDI device. When set to “OFF,” the drum kits do not switch, even when a Program Change message is received.

The TD-6V’s drum kit program numbers are always the same as the drum kit numbers; this relationship is fixed, and cannot be changed.
