Channel Voice Messages
* Following Channel Voice Messages can be recorded in [SETUP]-[MIDI] TX/RX
CHANNEL.
Note Off
Status 2nd byte
8nH kkH
9nH kkH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
vv = note off velocity: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* Only the channel assigned to the backing part can be received.
* The Velocity Values of Note Off message are ignored.
* When recording, this is recorded in the sequencer data itself.
Note On
Status 2nd byte
9nH kkH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
vv = note on velocity: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* A channel which is assigned to the drum kit part will receive only the note numbers
which are specified by the drum kit.
* A channel which is assigned to the percussion part will receive only the note numbers
which are specified by the percussion set.
* When recording, this is recorded in the sequencer data itself.
Polyphonic Key Pressure
Status 2nd byte
AnH kkH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
vv = Value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* A channel which is assigned to the drum kit part will receive only the note numbers
which are specified by the drum kit.
* If the value is greater than 40H (64), the decay of the note sounded by the received note
number will be shortened.
* Not recorded in the sequencer.
Control Change
Bank Select (Controller number 0, 32)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 00H
BnH 20H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
mm = Bank number MSB: 00H - 7FHÅibank.1 - bank.128Åj
ll = Bank number LSB: processed as 00H
* Not Received when [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[PROG] PROGRAM CHANGE RX SW is set to
"OFF".(Initial Value is ON)
* Bank select processing will be suspended until a program change message is received.
* Only the channel assigned to the backing part can be received.

Modulation (Controller number 1)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 01H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = Modulation depth: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* Only the channel assigned to the drum kit part can be received.
* If the [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[GLOBAL]-[PAGE 2] PEDAL CC or ZONE CC are set to "MOD",
the effect will apply to the specified parameter.
* During recording, this will be recorded in the sequencer data as PEDAL CC data or
ZONE CC data.
Foot Control (Controller number 4)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 04H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* Only the channel assigned to the drum kit part can be received.
* The effect will be obtained when [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[GLOBAL]-[PAGE 2] PEDAL CC is set
to "FOOT".
* When recording, this will be recorded as PEDAL CC data in the sequencer data itself.
Data Entry (Controller number 6)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 06H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
mm = The value of the parameter specified by RPN.
* Only the channel assigned to the backing part can be received.
* Not recorded in the sequencer.
On the normal mode of TD-8, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.
