Automatically Switching Instrument Settings Screens; When Using As Midi Controller For External Midi Device Only - Roland TD-6V Owner's Manual

Automatically Switching Instrument
Settings Screens (Note Chase)
Note Chase is a function in which a pad is selected either by
striking the pad or when MIDI data corresponding to that pad
is received.
When set to "OFF," the pad's settings screen is prevented
from switching, even when MIDI data for a pad is received.
Here, the trigger input number appears in brackets ([ ]).
If you want to set other pads with this setting remaining at
"OFF," you can switch settings screens by holding down [SHIFT]
and pressing [ ] or [ ] to select the trigger input number.

Note Chase: OFF, ON
You can use only the TOM2 rim or AUX, and only the TOM3
rim or TOM4. You cannot select the trigger input for any pad
for which the trigger type has not been set.
Also refer to "Connecting Two Pads to Trigger Input 5/6
(TOM2/AUX) and 7/8 (TOM3/4)" (p. 70).
Chapter 7 Making the MIDI Settings (SETUP/MIDI, BULK DUMP)
When Using as MIDI Controller for
External MIDI Device Only (Local Control)
This setting is required when you wish to record your pads and
internal sequencer performance on an external MIDI sequencer.
The performance data from the pads and internal sequencer,
rather than being sent directly to the sound module section (Local
Control Off), is first sent to the external sequencer, and then on to
the TD-6V's sound module.
