Mixing MIDI Signals Coming to the
MIDI IN with Real Time Performance
on the Pads (Soft Thru)
This setting causes data (except for System Exclusive
messages) received at MIDI IN to be output from the MIDI
OUT/THRU connector along with the pad and sequencer
performance data.
fig.07-016a.e
If this setting is not used, leave it “OFF” as the trigger
response of the pads will be faster.
fig.07-017_50
Soft Thru: OFF, ON
OFF:
Only pad and sequencer performance data is output from the
MIDI OUT/THRU connector.
ON:
Data received at MIDI IN is output together with the pad and
sequencer performance data from the MIDI OUT/THRU
connector.
Set the Device ID (Device ID)
The setting described here is necessary only when you wish to
transmit separate data to two or more TD-6 units at the same
time. Do not change this setting in any other case.
At the factory settings, the device ID is set to “17.”
Example:
When saving data using Bulk Dump (p. 103), save using “17”
as the TD-6 Device ID. When re-transmitting this data back to
the TD-6, it won’t receive if the Device ID is set to something
other than “17.” Even if you happen to have another TD-6
connected, data will not be received if the Device ID is set to
something other than “17.”
fig.07-018.e (ID 16 17)
If you lose track of the Device ID setting that was used when
saving data via a bulk dump, it will no longer be possible to
reload the bulk data that was saved.
