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
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-6’s sound module.

The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.
If you make connections and record as shown, with a
setting of Local On, duplicate notes will be re-transmitted
to the TD-6 and will not be played correctly.

LocalControl (Local Control): OFF, ON
OFF:
The pads and internal sequencer are disconnected from the
TD-6’s internal sound generator. Striking the pads does not
cause sound to be produced by the internal sound generator.
ON:
The pads and internal sequencer are connected to the TD-6’s
internal sound generator. Sounds are produced by the internal
sound generator when the pads are struck.
Synchronizing with an External
MIDI Device (Sync Mode)
This section discusses the settings that allow an external MIDI
sequencer and the TD-6’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.
fig.07-011_50
Sync Mode: INT, EXT, REMOTE
INT (INTERNAL):
The TD-6’s tempo setting is used in playback and recording.
EXT (EXTERNAL):
The TD-6’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-6’s tempo setting is used for
the playback tempo.
