3 What is the TG100 1 What is the TG100 The TG100 is a 28-note polyphonic AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator. It contains 192 instrument voices and 10 drum kits. Up to 16 voices can be produced simultaneously. The TG100 is best suited to work with a MIDI sequencer, but it can also be used with a synthesizer, for voice layering, etc. To play the TG100 sound module, MIDI data must be input from either a MIDI keyboard, MIDI sequencer or MIDI data recorder.
What is the TG100 4 Drums The TG100 contains 10 drum kits. Part 10 is dedicated to drums and has number one note priority. You cannot select a different type of voice for Part 10, but you can select any one of 10 drum kits: Standard, Room, Power, Electronic, Analog, Brush, Orchestral, Clavinova, RX and C/M.
5 What is the TG100 Inside the TG100
What is the TG100 Menu functions This diagram shows how the TG100’s functions are organized.
7 What is the TG100 Sound module modes G - General MIDI Level 1 This is the default (factory) mode. General MIDI Level 1 is a recent addition to the MIDI standard. It standardizes the assignment of Program Change numbers to particular voices. For example, if MIDI Program Change number one is sent to a tone generator that complies with the General MIDI standard, the selected voice will always be an Acoustic Grand Piano.
What is the TG100 8 Effectively, priority means the order in which Parts are checked for available notes. For example, Part 10, drums, always has No. 1 priority, so the TG100 will always check the other 15 Parts before Part 10. For most applications, 28 notes will be more than adequate, so you shouldn’t have to worry about MIDI channel priority and notes being truncated.
9 What is the TG100 Connected MIDI instruments will only respond to the data if they are set to the same MIDI receive channel as the MIDI keyboards MIDI send channel. There are 16 MIDI channels. MIDI data is divided into two types: Channel Messages and System Messages. Channel messages Channel Messages are sent on the individual MIDI channels. Only the instruments that are set to receive MIDI data on that particular MIDI channel will use the data.
What is the TG100 10 technique is known as “layering”. Mode 2 - OMNI ON, MONO The MIDI instrument will respond to all channel type messages regardless of the MIDI channel setting, but only one note can be played at a time. Mode 3 - OMNI OFF, POLY The MIDI instrument will respond to data on its currently set MIDI receive channel only. Mainly used with MIDI sequencers and multi-timbral type tone generators like the TG100. The TG100 is always set to Mode 3 - OMNI OFF, POLY and cannot be changed.

Press once to switch on, press again to switch off. k LCD One line, 16 character LCD display. l [PLAY] button Selects play mode. If pressed while in any of the edit modes or in system mode, play mode will be selected. m [PART] button Used to select the 16 Parts. Pressed simultaneously with the [EDIT] button engages system mode.
Controls & connections o [CURSOR] 12 button This button is used to move the LCD cursor. Each time it is pressed, the cursor moves one position to the right. When the cursor is positioned at the rightward side of the LCD, the next press of the [CURSOR] button will move the cursor to the leftward side of the LCD. If the cursor is positioned at the rightward side of the LCD and an symbol is shown, then pressing the [CURSOR] button will move to the next menu function.
13 Controls & connections Rear Panel j LINE OUT (R, L/MONO) connectors A pair of 1/4” mono jack sockets. These should be connected to the inputs of a stereo audio amplifier or an audio mixer. If the audio amplifier you are using is only mono, use only the L/MONO output. k DC IN connector The power supply adaptor (PA-1505) is connected here. Before connecting the adaptor, make sure it is disconnected from the wall-power (mains) outlet.
Controls & connections 14 n MIDI THRU MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connection is buffered, then output from the MIDI THRU connector. That is, all MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connector is output to the MIDI THRU connector unaffected by the TG100. This allows a “daisy chain” type connection of MIDI equipment. Each connected MIDI device receives all the data that is being transmitted, but only responds to data on its selected MIDI channel.
15 Play Mode 3 Play Mode When the TG100 is turned on for the first time, or after the INITIALIZE ALL function has been used, the sound module mode is General MIDI. All 16 Parts are assigned voice No. 1, Piano. The assignment of MIDI channels to the 16 Parts is shown on page 16. The LCD MD - Indicates the current sound module mode. G - General MIDI D - Disk Orchestra C - C/M CH - Indicates the MIDI receive channel of the currently selected Part.
Play Mode 16 Selecting the sound module mode Summary: Select a sound module mode. This affects how the MIDI channels are assigned to the 16 Parts and how MIDI Program Change numbers are assigned to the TG100's voices. For a description of each mode, see “Sound module modes” on page 7. Options: G - General MIDI D - Disk Orchestra C - C/M Procedure: 1) In play mode, move the cursor, using the [CURSOR] button, to the MD position.
17 Play Mode you have other MIDI instruments using those MIDI channels. It should be remembered however, that the reason for having these different sound module modes, with their preset MIDI channel assignments, etc., is to provide a degree of compatibility for MIDI songs, that will allow you to transfer songs between different MIDI systems. Obviously, the more you change these settings, the less compatible your MIDI songs will be with other MIDI song file users. 2) The voice bank selected for each part.

53 Connecting to a computer 9 Connecting to a computer The TG100 can be connected to all computers that are used with MIDI music software. As well as the standard MIDI IN, OUT and THRU connections, the TG100 also has a "TO HOST" connection. This allows direct connection to computers that do not have a built-in MIDI interface and to computers that are not fitted with an optional MIDI interface card. The TG100 has four interface modes: MIDI, Mac, PC-1 and PC-2. These are explained below.
Connecting to a computer 54 Mac This mode is for use with an Apple Macintosh™ computer, which is not connected to an external MIDI interface unit. The TG100 can be connected directly to one of the Apple Mac's serial (RS-422) ports. 1) Connect the TG100's "TO HOST" connector to one of the Apple Mac's serial ports using the "Mac" connecting cable shown on page 67. 2) Switch on your Apple Mac. 3) Switch on the TG100. 4) Set the TG100's "HOST SELECT" switch to Mac. 5) Start your Apple Mac music software.
55 Connecting to a computer PC-1 This mode is for use with a PC-9800 type computer. The PC-9800 is a very popular computer in Japan. The specifications are the same as those for "PC-2", mode except for the baud rate. See "Technical specifications" on page 66. PC-2 This mode is for use with an IBM-PC, PC-AT compatible and PS/2 type computer, which does not have a MIDI interface card installed. The TG100 can be connected directly to the computers serial (RS-232C) port.
Other Functions 56 10 Other Functions Adjusting the LCD contrast The contrast control, on the TG100's rear panel, should be adjusted so that the LCD display is easy to read. When the LCD display is viewed from a different height or angle, the contrast may need to be adjusted. AUDIO IN connection Summary: This function allows you to mix sounds from another instrument or audio device with the TG100's sounds.
57 Typical System Configurations 11 Typical System Configurations MIDI keyboard MIDI keyboard, this could be a MIDI master keyboard, a synthesizer or any electronic keyboard instrument that can transmit MIDI data. See "Using the TG100 with a MIDI keyboard" on page 4 of the Getting Started Manual. Computer sequencer See "Using the TG100 with a computer that has a MIDI interface" on page 7 and "Using the TG100 with a computer that has a MIDI interface" on page 7 of the Getting Started Manual.
Typical System Configurations 58 Sequencer system The following system is quite an advanced MIDI music production system. It is intended to show how your MIDI system can be expanded and the benefits of having a TG100 tone generator at the heart of your system. Connecting the TG100 to a computer with a MIDI interface and connecting to a Mac, PC-1 or PC-2 type computer without a MIDI interface, using the TG100 as the MIDI interface, is a little different.
59 Typical System Configurations TO HOST connection As you can see from the above diagram, not only does the TG100 work as a MIDI interface for the other MIDI devices, it also eliminates the need for a MIDI switcher box when the bulk dump function is used.
