MIDI Settings
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that
allows performance data and other information to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and
computers. With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI connectors
equipped devices, you can play multiple instruments with a
single keyboard, have multiple MIDI instruments perform in
ensemble, program the settings to change kits automatically to
match the performance as the song progresses, and more.
To use the TD-3 pads as a MIDI controller, or for recording
from the pads to an external sequencer is easy. Using the TD-3
as a sound module with an external sequencer is also simple.
Please read the following information about MIDI.
The TD-3 has two types of MIDI connectors.
fig.midi-001
MIDI IN Connector
This receives MIDI messages transmitted from an external
MIDI device. These messages can play the TD-3’s internal
sounds, change kits or load previously saved data (p. 63).
MIDI OUT Connector
Pad performance data (note #, velocity, etc.) is transmitted
from this connector to connected MIDI devices. You can also
save your settings to a MIDI sequencer (Bulk Dump; p. 62).
Each drum kit can have it’s own set of MIDI note numbers to
be transmitted/received by each pad, useful for advanced
purposes.
Normally, you’ll never need to change them, but remember
that the Open Hi-Hat’s default setting is 46 (A#2). The closed
hi-hat default setting is 42 (F#2) and the pedal-close hi-hat
default setting is 44 (G#2). These change together to open and
close the hi-hat.
* If the open hi-hat note number is set to “60 (C 4),” the note
number for the closed hi-hat becomes “56 (G#3)” and the note
number for the pedal hi-hat becomes “58 (A#3).”
More about factory-set note number’s can be found here:
“Drum Kit Note Numbers” (p. 61).
