Settings for the Entire TD (SYSTEM)

MIDI-Related Settings (MIDI)

Here you can set MIDI settings for the entire TD.
There are many possibilities when using MIDI, such as:

Use the pads to play external MIDI instruments

You can layer sounds on the TD as well as play sounds from MIDI sound modules and

samplers.

Use the TD as a sound module

Using the DAW software, you can use the TD as a dedicated drum sound module.

Control an external video device

When connected to a video device, you can use the TD to switch images.

For details on the procedure, refer to “Basic procedure” (p. 34).

Description

[F1] (MIDI)
Std MIDI Setup Lock

OFF, ON

Turn this ON if you’re using V-Drums Friend Jam or V-Drums Tutor (sold separately) (p. 47).

MIDI Channel

OFF, 1–16

Specifies the transmit/receive channel

Local Control

OFF, ON

Specifies whether the TD’s pads will be

connected to the internal sound generator

(ON) or disconnected from the internal

sound generator (OFF).
Normally you will leave this “ON.” However,

you should choose the “OFF” setting when

you’re using the TD’s pads only to control an

external sound module, or when using the

TD in conjunction with DAW software on

your computer.

Using Local Control

When using the TD in conjunction with your

DAW software, the notes you play by striking

the pads might be sounded in duplicate

together with the notes that are “echoed-

back” by your DAW software.

If this occurs, set Local Control to the “OFF” setting so that the TD’s pads will be disconnected

from the internal sound generator, allowing you to use the TD in conjunction with the DAW

software on your computer as shown in the illustration.

Note Chase

OFF, ON

If this function is “ON,” incoming MIDI data that matches a pad’s assignment will cause the

screen to show the edit screen of the instrument used by that pad, or cause the cursor to

move.

Prog Change Tx

OFF, ON

Specifies whether program change messages will be transmitted (ON) or not transmitted

(OFF).
If this is “ON,” a program number will be transmitted when you switch drum kits on the TD.

Prog Change Rx

OFF, ON

Specifies whether program change messages arriving from DAW software on your computer

will be received (ON) or ignored (OFF).
If this is “ON,” incoming program changes will select the drum kit of the corresponding

number.

[F2] (VISUAL)

Visual Control

OFF, ON

Turn this “ON” if you want to control a video device (sold separately) in synchronization with

your performance (p. 47).
This will always be “OFF” when you turn on the power.

Control Mode

MVC, V-LINK

Set this as appropriate for the video device that’s connected.
