MIDI-related settings
There are many possibilities when using MIDI, such as:
Use the pads to play external instruments
You can layer sounds on the TD-9 as well as play sounds from
MIDI sound modules and samplers.
Use the TD-9 as a sound module
If you’re using an external MIDI sequencer to perform with an
ensemble, you can use the TD-9 as a dedicated drum sound
module.
When used with a MIDI sound module, rather than just being
capable of using percussion sets, the TD-9 can handle an even
greater number of instruments simultaneously.
1. Press [SETUP].
[SETUP] will light, and the “SETUP” screen will appear.
2. Press [F2] (MIDI).
The “MIDI” screen will appear.
3. Use CURSOR [ ] [ ] to select a parameter.
4. Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to edit the value.
5. Press [EXIT] several times to return to the “DRUM
KIT” screen or just press [KIT].
MIDI settings for the entire TD-9 [F1] (GLOBAL)
Parameter value Description
Tx/Rx Channel
CH 1–CH16,
OFF
Specifies the transmit/receive channel.
* If you set the drum part to “CH11,” it will be the same as the TD-9’s percussion part,
and the percussion part will no longer sound.
Tx PC
OFF, ON
Specifies whether program change messages will be transmitted to an external MIDI device
(ON) or not transmitted (OFF).
With the “ON” setting, a program number corresponding to the selected drum kit will be
transmitted when you switch drum kits on the TD-9.
Rx PC
OFF, ON
Specifies whether program change messages sent from an external MIDI device will be re-
ceived (ON) or not received (OFF).
With the “ON” setting, the TD-9 will switch to the drum kit corresponding to the received
program number.
Note Chase
OFF, ON
Turns the Note Chase on/off.
This is convenient during the editing process. Received MIDI data will automatically call up
the settings screen for the relative instrument/pad, and automatically moves the cursor.
