MIDI settings for the
entire TD-10
Setting the MIDI channels for
each Part
For each part, you can specify the channel on which the TD-
10 will receive and transmit MIDI messages.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)].
The “MIDI” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the part whose
MIDI channel you wish to set.
3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to specify the channel
number.
With a setting of “1” through “16,” MIDI messages will be
transmitted and received on that channel. A setting of “OFF”
lets you turn off reception for that part, so that notes are not
received.
Parameters
Channel: ch 1ch 16, OFF
Turning off Local Control
This setting is required when you wish to record your pad
performance on an external MIDI sequencer.
fig.11-03e
So that the performance data from the pads is NOT sent
directly to the sound generating section of the TD-10 (Local
Control off), but is instead sent first to the external sequencer
via the MIDI OUT, and then re-transmitted to the TD-10,
please refer to the above diagram.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F1 (GLOBAL)].
The “MIDI GLOBAL” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to Local Control.
3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to turn the setting
OFF.
* If you make connections and record as shown figure with a set-
ting of Local On, duplicate notes will be re-transmitted to the
TD-10 and will not be played correctly.
Parameters
Local Control: OFF, ON
Disabling reception or trans-
mission of Program Changes
You can specify whether or not the TD-10 will transmit
and/or receive program change messages to/from an exter-
nal device.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F3 (PROG)].
The “MIDI Program Change” page will appear.
2. Each time you press [F1], reception will be turned on/off.
Each time you press [F2], transmission will be turned
on/off.
Reducing the amount of data
transmitted by the FD-7
(Pedal Data Thin)
This function allows you to prevent an excessive amount of
data from being transmitted from the pedal to the internal
sequencer or via the MIDI OUT.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F1 (GLOBAL)]. The MIDI
GLOBAL page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to Pedal Data Thin.
3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
With a setting of “1” or “2,” pedal data will be thinned out.
“2” will reduce the amount of data more drastically than
“1.” Normally you should use a setting of “1,” and select “2”
when you need greater data reduction. With a setting of
“Normal” the data will not be thinned.
* Leave this at the normal setting if you are being extremely pre-
cise with how you are using the FD-7 controller.
