Chapter 1 Creating Your Own Drum Kit (Kit Edit)

“CH10Priority (Channel 10 Priority)” to determine whether the instrument (the drum kit part) or the percussion set instrument (the percussion part) is to be played when the note number is received (SETUP/MIDI COMMON/CH10Priorty; p. 98).

When Setting Multiple Pads to the Same Note Number

When using an external MIDI device to play TD-6V drum kits, if overlapping note numbers are received, the instrument assigned to the pad connected to the lowest-numbered trigger input is sounded.

When note numbers for the head and rim are duplicated, the head instrument is played.

When the pad is struck, the note number set for the pad is sent.

When the same note number is assigned to more than one pad, then “ ” appears in the settings screen for the pad that is prevented from sounding even when the Note Number is received.

The following appears in the display when “38 (D2)” is specified for the head (H02) and rim (R02) of Trigger Input 2 (SNARE) and the head (H04) of Trigger Input 4 (TOM1).

Trigger Input 2 (SNARE) Head

Trigger Input 2 (SNARE) Rim

Trigger Input 4 (TOM1) Head

In this case, when Note Number 38 (D2) is received, the instrument assigned to the HEAD of TRIGGER INPUT 2 (SNARE) is played.

MIDI Gate Time for Each Pad (Gate Time)

For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will “hold” during transmission from the MIDI OUT.

Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note off” messages. However general-purpose sound modules or samplers do receive the note-off messages that are transmitted and respond by turning off the sound.

At the factory settings, the Gate Time setting is set to the minimum value, since a drum sound module will likely not make use of it. If a sound module received this data as it is receiving a Note OFF message, the interval will be too short, so most sounds will not be played (or it may sound like barely perceptible noise). To avoid this problem, set a longer gate time for each pad that is to be played.

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