Chapter 1 Creating Your Own Drum Kit (Kit Edit)

Pitch Control with the Hi-Hat Control Pedal On/Off for Each Pad (Pitch Control Assign)

Pitch Control is a function that lets you change the pitch of an instrument assigned to a pad according to the amount the hi- hat control pedal is pressed. Releasing the pedal returns the instrument to its original pitch.

Here, make the Pitch Control on/off setting for each pad. When set to “OFF,” the instrument’s pitch remains unchanged.

The range over which the pitch changes is set in “PchCtrlRange (Pitch Control Range)” (KIT/COMMON/ PchCtrlRange; p. 66).

To prevent the pedal hi-hat sound from being played when the hi-hat pedal is pressed, set “Pedal HH Vol (Pedal Hi-Hat Volume)” to “0” (KIT/COMMON/Pedal HH Vol; p. 66).

To make pitch changes occur more smoothly, set “PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin)” to “1” or “OFF” (SETUP/MIDI COMMON/PdlDataThin; p. 99).

Pitch Ctrl (Pitch Control Assign): OFF, ON

MIDI Note Number for Each Pad (Note Number)

In each drum kit, you can set the MIDI note numbers to be transmitted/received by each pad.

For the hi-hat, make the setting only for the note number for the Open Hi-Hat (default setting is 46 (A#2)). With this setting, the closed hi-hat (initial settings value of 42 (F#2)) and pedal hi-hat (initial settings value of 44 (G#2)) are changed together to the open setting.

This setting cannot be made in GM mode (p. 99).

When the open hi-hat note number is set to “60 (C4),” the note number for the closed hi-hat becomes “56 (G#3)” and the note number for the pedal hi-hat becomes “58 (A#3).”

For information on factory-set note number settings, refer to “Drum Kit Note Numbers” (p. 125) in the “Preset Percussion Set List.”

Note No. (Note Number): 0 (C -) –127 (G 9)

Sounding an External MIDI Device by Playing Pads Connected to the TD-6V

Specify the MIDI note numbers (key numbers on a keyboard) that will be transmitted by the TD-6V when the pads are struck.

Set this to the note number of the sound that you wish to play on the external sound module or sampler.

Using an External MIDI Device to Play TD-6V Drum Kit Part Sounds (TD-6V Used As Sound Module)

Specify the note number corresponding to the pad. When the TD-6V receives the note number specified here, the instrument assigned to the pad is played.

On the TD-6V, the drum kit part and percussion part can both be set to Channel 10 at the same time.

When two parts are set to channel 10, you should also set
