When setting multiple drum triggers to the same note number
When playing the internal sound generator of the TM-6 PRO, if an incoming note number is assigned to more than one drum trigger, that note plays
the instrument of the drum trigger with the lowest trigger input number. If the same note number is assigned to both the head and the rim, the head
instrument is sounded.
MEMO
An asterisk (*) appears at the right of the note number for trigger inputs that are not sounded.
Example:
Note number “38 (D 2)” is set for the head and rim of trigger input 2 SNARE and the head of trigger input 3 TOM 1. In this case, when note number 38
(D2) is received, the instrument assigned to the head of trigger input 2 SNARE is played.
About the gate time
Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note off” messages. However general-
purpose sound modules or samplers do receive the note-off messages that are transmitted and respond by turning off the sound.
Since gate time is normally not necessary for a percussion sound module, this is set to the minimum value when the unit is shipped from the
factory. If a note-off message is received while the sound module has this setting, it is received as an extremely brief note that has almost no
time to be heard, and is nearly inaudible (Alternatively, it is possible that this could be heard as an unwanted noise.). To avoid this, specify the
note duration of the MIDI performance data that is produced when you strike each drum trigger.
* If the same note number is sounded again in an overlapping manner, a note-off is transmitted before transmitting note-on, even if it is
within the gate time.
