Synchronizing with an External Midi Device Sync Mode | Roland TD-6V

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

Synchronizing with an External MIDI Device (Sync Mode)

This section discusses the settings that allow an external MIDI sequencer and the TD-6V’s sequencer to be synchronized. The device that is playing back is called the “master” and the device that is synchronizing to the playback is called the “slave.”

The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.

Sync Mode: INT, EXT, REMOTE

INT (INTERNAL):

The TD-6V’s tempo setting is used in playback and recording.

EXT (EXTERNAL):

The TD-6V’s sequencer operates in accord with external

tempo data.

REMOTE:

Playback begins, pauses, and stops in accord with data from the external device, but the TD-6V’s tempo setting is used for the playback tempo.

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. 92) or loading external sequencer data to the TD-6V (p. 106), the data is stored to the sounded part according to this setting.
