Making the Pad Settings

Editing MIDI Parameters
Once you have connected the pads and selected the appropriate trigger type, then match the MIDI channel that the TMC-6 uses to transmit data to the MIDI channel used by the external MIDI device, and specify the MIDI note numbers used to produce sounds when the pads are struck. Of the TMC-6�s parameters, you can save the MIDI parameters (MIDI CHANNEL, MIDI PRG CHG, VELOCITY CURVE and MIDI NOTE No.) to Memory Numbers 1�12. Once you create setups that are geared for the various external MIDI devices or samplers that you use, then all you need to do is select a memory number, and you�ll be able to instantly change sounds and play different instruments. If you are using an acoustic drum set, you can set the memory number � � so that no MIDI message is output, and play the unaltered acoustic drum sounds. 1. In Play mode, press the [INC/+] or [DEC/-] button to select the memory number to be edited. 2. Press the [EDIT] button to make its indicator light. This takes you into Edit mode. 3. While referring to "Choosing the Pad to Edit" (p. 11), select the pad for which you want to make the setting. 4. Rotate the parameter select knob to select the �PARAMETER� to be set. 5. Set the value using the [INC/+] and [DEC/-] buttons. 6. Press the [EDIT] button to turn off its indicator.

s Copying the Contents of Memories
You can copy the settings stored in one memory number to another. When you want to get parameter settings that are similar to an existing group of settings, but with only one portion changed, a convenient way is to first copy the memory, then edit the individual parameters. 1. In Play mode, press the [INC/+] or [DEC/-] button to select the memory number that you want to copy. 2. Hold down the [EDIT] button until it starts blinking. The [EDIT] button and the memory number in the display start blinking. 3. Press the [INC/+] or [DEC/-] button to select the copy-destination memory number. When a copy-destination memory number is selected, the dot in the lower right of the display lights. 4. Press the [EDIT] button to execute the copy operation. The content of the memory number selected in Step 1 is copied to the memory number selected in Step 3. Once the copy has been completed, the [EDIT] button�s light goes out.
If you want to cancel the copy, return to the original memory number for which the dot is unlit, and press the [EDIT] button, so as to extinguish its light.

After the [EDIT] button is pressed, be absolutely sure not to turn off power until after the [EDIT] button�s light has gone out.
