“INSIDE” settings make it easier to play notes toward the inside; “OUTSIDE” settings make it easier to
play toward the outside.
Specify the mute group number.
When you strike the pad of the number specied in MUTE SEND, the sound of the pad assigned to
the same number in MUTE RECEIVE is muted.
* Even if you specify the same number in MUTE SEND and MUTE RECEIVE for the same location
(e.g., head or rim) of the same pad, muting does not occur.

Parameter Explanation
SNARE <HEAD>
SNARE <RIM>
SNARE <BRUSH> MIDI note number transmitted and received by brush sweep
SNARE <XSTICK> MIDI note number transmitted and received by cross stick
MIDI note number transmitted and received by head shot and rim shot
When setting multiple pads to the same note number
When playing the internal sound generator of the TD-50, if an incoming note number is assigned to more than one pad, that note plays the
instrument of the pad 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 o” messages. However generalpurpose sound modules or samplers do receive the note-o messages that are transmitted and respond by turning o 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-o 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 pad.
* If the same note number is sounded again in an overlapping manner, a note-o is transmitted before transmitting note-on, even if it is
within the gate time.

For more about instruments, refer to “Instrument List” (p. 42).
After the sound begins, the pitch gradually rises (falls).
Positive (+) values make the pitch start high and then fall; negative (-) values make the pitch start
low and then rise.
Larger values produce greater change.
* In some cases, changing the Pitch setting by a large amount might limit the Pitch Sweep eect.

Volume
Species the force of the strike at which the sub instrument begins to be sounded.
If this is “1,” the sub instrument is sounded by a strike of any force.
If this is “127” (“127+32” for a pad that supports digital connection), the sub instrument is sounded
only by the strongest strike.
* This is not available if Layer Type is “MIX.”

a layer.
The sub instrument (B) is added as a layer only if the strike is stronger than
“Fade Point.”
If the strike is stronger than “Fade Point,” the sub instrument (B) is added as
a layer according to the strength of that strike.
FADE2:
At 127 or higher, the main instrument (A) and sub instrument (B) are the
same volume.
FADE3:
At 127+32, the main instrument (A) and sub instrument (B) are the same
volume (for pads that support digital connection).
Strikes weaker than “Fade Point” sound the main instrument (A), and strikes
stronger than “Fade Point” switch to sound the sub instrument (B).
* For some instruments, these settings are not available.

-INF–+6.0 dB
Minimum volume of each pad
This lets you increase the volume of the softest hits while preserving the volume of the strongest
hits. This can make it easier to hear ghost notes on the snare or legato notes on the ride cymbal.
Maximum volume of each pad
This lets you decrease the volume of the strongest hits while preserving their nuances.
You can limit the volume while preserving the nuances of the strongest hits.
* This is available only for pads that support digital connection and for input from the MIDI IN
connector.

This is a three-band equalizer that each drum kit provides for each strike location of each pad.
You can disable the pad equalizer eect that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks (p. 29).
This indicates whether the pad equalizer eect is output ( ) from each
jack or is not output ( ).

Input meter
The “input meter”
shows the level (dB)
being input to the pad
compressor.
