samplers.
Use the TD as a sound module
Using the DAW software, you can use the TD as a dedicated drum sound module.
Control an external video device
When connected to a video device, you can use the TD to switch images.

Using Local Control
When using the TD in conjunction with your
DAW software, the notes you play by striking
the pads might be sounded in duplicate
together with the notes that are "echoed-
back" by your DAW software.
If this occurs, set Local Control to the "OFF" setting so that the TD's pads will be disconnected
from the internal sound generator, allowing you to use the TD in conjunction with the DAW
software on your computer as shown in the illustration.
If this function is "ON, " incoming MIDI data that matches a pad's assignment will cause the
OFF, ON screen to show the edit screen of the instrument used by that pad, or cause the cursor to
move.
Specifies whether program change messages will be transmitted (ON) or not transmitted
(OFF).
OFF, ON
If this is "ON, " a program number will be transmitted when you switch drum kits on the TD.
Specifies whether program change messages arriving from DAW software on your computer
will be received (ON) or ignored (OFF).
OFF, ON
If this is "ON, " incoming program changes will select the drum kit of the corresponding
number.
Turn this "ON" if you want to control a video device (sold separately) in synchronization with
your performance (p. 47).
OFF, ON
This will always be "OFF" when you turn on the power.
MVC, V-LINK Set this as appropriate for the video device that's connected.
