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

Automatically Switching Instrument Settings Screens (Note Chase)

Note Chase is a function in which a pad is selected either by striking the pad or when MIDI data corresponding to that pad is received.

When set to “OFF,” the pad’s settings screen is prevented from switching, even when MIDI data for a pad is received. Here, the trigger input number appears in brackets ([ ]).

If you want to set other pads with this setting remaining at “OFF,” you can switch settings screens by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [ ] or [ ] to select the trigger input number.

Note Chase: OFF, ON

You can use only the TOM2 rim or AUX, and only the TOM3 rim or TOM4. You cannot select the trigger input for any pad for which the trigger type has not been set.

Also refer to “Connecting Two Pads to Trigger Input 5/6 (TOM2/AUX) and 7/8 (TOM3/4)” (p. 70).

When Using as MIDI Controller for External MIDI Device Only (Local Control)

This setting is required when you wish to record your pads and internal sequencer performance on an external MIDI sequencer. The performance data from the pads and internal sequencer, rather than being sent directly to the sound module section (Local Control Off), is first sent to the external sequencer, and then on to the TD-6V’s sound module.
