Altering A Midi Function Setting; When The Tr- 626 Is To Be Used As A Midi Sound Source - Roland TR-626 Owner's Manual

MIDI Function
2. Altering a MIDI Function Setting
This section explains how to set the MIDI function for the most
commonly used connections.
a. When the TR-626 1s to be used as a MIDI sound source
Step 1
The drum voices of the TR-626 can be made to sound when rhythm
pattern data is supplied from external devices, such as other rhythm
machines, keyboards, sequencers, etc., that have MIDI terminals. In an
instance such as this, the rhythm pattern data does not need to be
written into the TR-626's memory.

Change either the transmitter's transmission channel or the TR-626'
s reception channel to set them to the same MIDI channel.
(Refer to "o Altering the reception channel" on p.83.)
*
If the TR-626 is the only receiving device, step 1 can be dispensed
with. Simply turn the OMNI mode on, instead of off, in step 2.
*
Changing the transmission channel of the transmitter (s) should be done
strictly in accordance with the instructions in the operation manual for
the transmitter .(s).
(Transmission/Reception Channel)
Step 2
There are 16 MIDI channels. The transmission channel, the channel for
transmitting information, can be designated as any of Channels 1 to
16. Since this is so, when information about several channels is sent
through a single MIDI cable, the TR-626 will receive only the
information sent on the reception channel designated.
Turn the TR-626's OMNI mode off. (See "Altering OMNI mode" on
p.83.)
