Setting the Gate Time
For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will
“hold” during transmission from the MIDI OUT.
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. For
example, if you are triggering a “loop” in a sampler, or other
sounds then the gate time parameter is very important. With
the factory defaults (preset values), the transmitted gate time
is set to the minimum value.

GATE TIME: 0.1–8.0
Setting the MIDI Channels
For setting the MIDI channel, refer to “Setting the MIDI
Channel for a Part” (p. 154). Performance on the pads is
transmitted from MIDI OUT on the same channel as the
channel setting for the Drum kit part (“KIT” in the setting
page).
Using with the Roland SPD-20
(SOFT THRU)
This section explains how you can use the Roland SPD-20(a
MIDI controller) together with the TD-8’s pads to play
internal sounds and an external sound module.
1.
Connect the SPD-20, TD-8, and external sound module, etc.

3.
Press CURSOR [
] or [
] to move the cursor to
“SOFT THRU.”
4.
Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] or rotate the VALUE dial to set
this to “ON.”
The messages (except for System Exclusive) received at
MIDI IN will also be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/
THRU connector.
If this setting is not used, leave it “OFF” as the trigger
response of the pads will be faster.
