MIDI Implementation
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)
* This is transmitted only on the channel which is assigned to the drum kit part.
* This will be transmitted if the [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[GLOBAL]-[PAGE 2] PEDAL CC is set to
"FOOT".
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 are sent.
* When a pattern or a song are selected or adjust [PATTERN]-[PART]-[SETUP]-[PAGE 2]
BEND RANGE setting, the pitch bend sensitivity of the sequencer pattern data will be
transmitted.
Values for the RPN parameter, on the normal mode of TD-8, are as follows.

n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = pan: 00H - 40H - 7FH (Left - Center - Right)
* Only the channel assigned to the backing part are sent.
* When a pattern or a song are selected, the pan of the sequencer pattern data will be
transmitted.

Status 2nd byte
BnH 10H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* This is transmitted only on the channel which is assigned to the drum kit part.
* This will be transmitted if the [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[GLOBAL]-[PAGE 2] PEDAL CC or
ZONE CC are set to "GEN1".
General purpose controller 2 (Controller number 17)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 11H
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
* This is transmitted only on the channel which is assigned to the drum kit part.
* This will be transmitted if the [SETUP]-[MIDI]-[GLOBAL]-[PAGE 2] PEDAL CC or
ZONE CC are set to "GEN2".
