Parameter
Value
Explanation
[F1] button (BASIC tab)
MIDI Tx/Rx Sw
OFF, ON
Turns the transmitting and receiving MIDI messages on/off.
MIDI Channel
1–16Ch
Transmit and receive channel.
Program Change Tx
OFF, ON
Turns program change transmission on/off
Program Change Rx
OFF, ON
Turns program change reception on/off
Soft Thru MIDI In
This allows performance data from a MIDI device connected to the TD-27’s MIDI IN connector to be transmitted to another MIDI device
connected to the MIDI OUT connector or to a computer connected to the USB COMPUTER port.
OFF
Performance data received from the TD-27’s MIDI IN connector will not be sent to the MIDI OUT
connector or the USB COMPUTER port.
ON (MIDI OUT)
Performance data received from the TD-27’s MIDI IN connector will be sent to the MIDI OUT
connector.
ON (USB MIDI)
Performance data received from the device connected to the TD-27’s MIDI IN connector will be sent
to the USB COMPUTER port.
ON (MIDI+USB)
Performance data received from the device connected to the TD-27’s MIDI IN connector will be sent
to the MIDI OUT connector and the USB COMPUTER port.
Soft Thru USB MIDI In
Performance data from a computer connected to the TD-27’s USB COMPUTER port can be transmitted to a MIDI device connected to the
MIDI OUT connector.
OFF
Performance data received via the TD-27’s USB COMPUTER port is not transmitted to the MIDI OUT
connector.
ON (MIDI OUT)
Performance data received via the TD-27’s USB COMPUTER port is transmitted to the MIDI OUT
connector.
Local Control
OFF, ON
Turns on/off the connection between the performance data from the pads and the TD-27’s sound
generator section
Normally you’ll leave this “ON.” If this is “OFF,” the performance data from the pads is not connected
to the TD-27’s sound generator section.
Device ID
17–32
Device ID setting
The setting described here is necessary only when you wish to transmit separate data to two or
more TD-27 units at the same time. Do not change this setting in any other case.
Transmit Edit Data
OFF, ON
Specifies whether changes in the TD-27’s settings are transmitted as system exclusive messages
(ON) or not transmitted (OFF).
Receive Exclusive
OFF, ON
Specifies whether system exclusive messages are received (ON) or not received (OFF).
[F2] button (CONTROL tab)
HH Pedal CC
OFF, 1, 2, 4, 11, 16, 17, 18, 19
Control change used for transmitting/receiving the depth to which the hi-hat pedal pressed
Snare CC
Control change used for transmitting/receiving the strike position of the snare
Ride CC
Control change used for transmitting/receiving the strike position of the ride
TOMs/AUXs CC
Control change used for transmitting/receiving the strike position of the tom 1–3 and AUX 1–3
HH Note# Border
0–127
This number specifies the pedal position at which to switch from open hi-hat to closed hi-hat.
* There’s no need to change this setting if you’re performing and recording only with the TD-27
and the pads.
Hi-Reso Velocity
OFF, ON
Disables CC#88 (high resolution velocity prefix).
If this is disabled, the maximum velocity handled by the TD-27 is limited to 127. Velocity is also
limited to 127 for strikes on digitally-connected pads and for input via the MIDI IN connector.
Cymbal Choke Shot
OFF, ON
Switches support for the performance technique of striking a pad while choking it.
If this is “ON,” striking a pad while choking it immediately mutes the sound after it begins. If this is
“OFF,” the sound is not muted immediately even if you strike a pad while choking it.
[F3] button (SYNC tab)
Sync Mode
Specifies the synchronization signal according to which the TD-27 operates.
INTERNAL
Choose this setting if you’re using the TD-27 by itself without synchronizing it to another device, or
if you want another device to operate in synchronization with the TD-27.
EXTERNAL
The TD-27 operates as a slave device. Choose this setting if you want the TD-27 to operate
according to synchronization messages that it receives from another device.
Clock Source
MIDI, USB MIDI
When Sync Mode is “EXTERNAL,” this specifies whether the TD-27 synchronizes to synchronization
messages from the MIDI IN connector (MIDI) or to synchronization messages from the USB
COMPUTER port (USB MIDI).
Sync Out
OFF, ON
Specifies whether MIDI synchronization messages are transmitted to another device (ON) or not
transmitted (OFF).
