Using the TD-8 As a Sound
Module
The TD-8 is used as a six-part multitimbral sound module.
The MIDI channel selected in "Setting the MIDI Channel for
a Part" (p. 154) is used.
• The settings discussed here are necessary only when using the
TD-8 as a MIDI sound module. For information on creating
drum kit sounds, refer to Chapters 1–3.
• If you are playing back music data for GM sound modules on
the TD-8, refer to "Using the TD-8 As a General MIDI Sound
Module" (p. 159).
Use a MIDI cable to connect the TD-8's MIDI IN to the MIDI
OUT connector of an external sequencer, keyboard, etc.
