About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
is a standard
that allows performance data and other information to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and
computers. MIDI With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI devices
that are equipped with MIDI connectors, you can play
multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple
MIDI instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings
to change automatically to match the performance as the song
progresses, and more.
While using only pads with the TD-6V, there is no need to
have any detailed knowledge of MIDI. For those who wish to
use MIDI keyboards to record patterns on the TD-6V, use it as
a sound module with external sequencers, or learn the TD-6V
at a more advanced level, the following explains such matters
related to MIDI.

MIDI Connectors
The TD-6V has the following two types of MIDI connectors.

MIDI IN Connector Function
This receives MIDI messages transmitted from an external
MIDI device. When it receives MIDI messages, the TD-6V
performs a variety of actions such as playing sounds and
switching drum kits and part instruments.

MIDI OUT/THRU Connector Function
MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector to external
MIDI devices. The TD-6V transmits pad and sequencer
performance data from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. You
can also transmit various settings content, songs, and other
data you want to save to another device (Bulk Dump; p. 103).

The TD-6V MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU connectors are
combined into a single connector. The function is selected in
the “Soft Thru” setting (SETUP/MIDI COMMON/SOFT
Thru; p. 100). When “Soft Thru” is set to “ON,” pad and
sequencer performance data are transmitted to an external
device as is along with messages received at the MIDI IN
connector.

As shipped from the factory, this is set to MIDI OUT.
MIDI Channels and Multi-timbral
Sound Modules
MIDI can send numerous streams of performance data over a single
MIDI cable. This is made possible by MIDI channels. MIDI channels
allow messages intended for a given instrument to be distinguished
from messages intended for another instrument. In some ways,
MIDI channels are similar to television channels. By changing
channels on a television you can view programs from many
different broadcast stations. This is because the television set has
thus been directed to selectively display only the information being
transmitted by a particular station. In the same way, MIDI also
allows a device to select the information intended for that device
out of the variety of information that is being transmitted to it.

Example:
Set the TD-6V to send Channel 1 and Channel 2, then set
sound module A to receive only Channel 1 and sound module
B only Channel 2. In this way, sound module A plays the
guitar part and sound module B plays the bass part.
