Roland TD-10 - Manual (Page 123)

* For the hi-hat, make the setting only for the note number for the
Open Hi-hat (default setting is 46 (A#2)). This setting will
adjust the closed and pedal sounds as well.
(Example) If you decrease the Open Hi-hat note number by “2,”
the Close and Pedal settings will also decrease by “2.”
■ Setting the Gate Time
For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will
“hold” during transmission from the MIDI OUT.
Drum sound modules normally produce sound only in
response to “note-on” messages, and ignore “note-off” mes-
sages. However general-purpose sound modules or sam-
plers 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.
Procedure
1. Press [INST]-[F4 (CTRL)]-[F4 (MIDI)].
The “INST CTRL” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Gate Time.” 3.Use
[INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to specify the duration of
the notes.
Parameters
Gate Time: 0.1–8.0 seconds
■ Setting the MIDI channel
For setting the MIDI channel, refer to the section below,
“MIDI settings for the entire TD-10.” Performance on the
pads is transmitted from MIDI OUT on the same channel as
the channel setting for the Drum part (“All Drums” in the
setting page).
Using the TD-10 with the
Roland SPD-11
This section explains how you can use the Roland SPD-11 (a
MIDI controller) together with the TD-10’s pads to play
internal sounds and an external sound Module. Connect the
SPD-11 and TD-10 as shown below.
fig.11-11e
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F1 (GLOBAL)].
The “MIDI GLOBAL” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Soft Thru.”
3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to turn the setting “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.
