Note On.

* When the following three things are set, strike position data will be transmitted before the note-on data when a pad is struck.

RIDE pad), or Toms/AUXs CC (for head and rim of TOM 1–3, AUX 1–3 pads).

* When the [SYSTEM]-[TRIGGER]-[PARAM] Trig Type is set to a type that can detect the strike position, or a digitally-connected pad that

can detect strike position is assigned.

BnH 58H kkH

n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)

kk = High resolution velocity prefix: 00H–40H (0–64)

* Not transmitted when [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HI-Reso Velocity is set to “OFF.”

* When you strike a digitally-connected pad, the strike strength (velocity) is expressed in 0.5 steps across 317 levels (1, 1.5, …

,158.5, 159), and is transmitted before the note-on as follows according to the velocity.

* When the velocity is less than 127 and the decimal portion is 0

The high resolution velocity prefix is 0.

* When the velocity is less than 127 and the decimal portion is 0.5

The high resolution velocity prefix is 64.

* When the velocity is 127 or more

If we let the high resolution velocity be “x,” high resolution velocity prefix is (x-127)/0.5.

* Velocity values below the decimal point are not expressed in the screen of the TD-27. If we let the velocity be “x,” velocities above

127 are expressed as “127+(x-127).”

* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and data will be transmitted from the specified

starting address and size. Refer to the address and size given in “3. Parameter Address Map.”

* Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each packet will be sent at an interval of about 20

ms.

3. Parameter Address Map

* Transmission of “#” marked address is divided to multiple packets. For example, ABH in hexadecimal notation will be divided to 0AH and

0BH, and is sent/received in this order.

Trigger 1–8 corresponds to the TRIGGER BANK No.1–8 parameters.
