* In this implementation, the order in which the TD-30’s buttons should be pressed is

indicated in the following way. For example, [SETUP] - [MIDI] - [MIDI CH] means “press the [SETUP] button, then press the [F5] (A button, and then press the [MIDI CH] button.” The SETUP screen consists of the three pages “SETUP A, “SETUP B,” and “SETUP C”; you can switch between these three pages by pressing the [F5] (A For details, refer to the TD-30 owner’s manual.

* A channel which is assigned to the drum part will receive only the note numbers

which are specied by the drum kit. For more on note numbers, refer to “Note Number (Factory Settings)” in the Owner’s Manual.

with the above settings as “HH Pedal CC messages,” “Snare CC messages,” “Ride CC messages,” and “Toms/AUXs CC messages.”

* The modulation eect is applied in the channel assigned to the backing part. It is

not recorded to the sequencer during recording.

  RPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 101, 100)

Status 2nd byte 3rd byte BnH 65H mmH BnH 64H llH

n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16) mm = upper byte of parameter number specied by RPN(MSB) ll = lower byte of parameter number specied by RPN(LSB)

<< RPN >>

Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended. When using RPNs, rst RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) should be sent in order to select the parameter, then Data Entry (Controller numbers 6 and 38) should be sent to set the value. Once RPN messages are received, Data Entry messages that is received at the same MIDI channel after that are recognized as changing toward the value of the RPN messages. In order not to make any mistakes, transmitting RPN Null is recommended after setting parameters you need. Refer to “Examples of actual MIDI message <Example 4>” (p. 12).

This device receives the following RPNs.

RPN Data Entry
