System
Q The sound is cut when the TD - 7 is played in the Multi - timbral mode.
Check if the number of voices used exceeds the maximum of 14.
-ti lf so, lower the number of voices to be played simultaneously.
Q Patches on the unit are not changed even when it receives Program Change messages.
Check if the Program Change Receive Switch in the System screen is set to OFF.
--0 If so, set the Program Change Receive Switch to ON. (KT P. l I8)
Q The unit does not receive System Exclusive Messages.
Check if the System Exclusive Switch is set to OFF.
--I» If so, change the System Exclusive Switch to ON. (r-T P. l 18)
O Bulk dump data cannot be transferred completely.
Check if the amount of available memory in the receiving MlDl device is sufficient.
--I» Be sure that there is sufficient memory available in the receiving MID! device.
Q Sound - on - sound recording is not possible.
Check if there is sufficient memory available. (if-Y‘ P. I27)
--ti If not, erase some unnecessary data, then repeat the recording. (II? P.l05)
Determine if the interval between pressing footswitch 2 and hitting a pad was too long.
-1+ if so, repeat recording using a shorter interval.
Q The screen on the TD - 7 is difficult to read.
Check if the LCD Contrast is set properly.
-P If not, change the LCD Contrast so that you can read the screen easily.
Q You cannot holdlsustainl a sound.
When “CtrlMode" in the Pedal Parameters (CT P67) or Global Performance Parameters ( t-‘it’ P.74) is set to “Decay”. the Hold function
cannot be obtained in that section.
Q You cannot play back the Hi-hat Control Pedal information recorded in the Phrase Sequencer.
When the System Parameter is set to “Ctrl Chg = HOLD" (U P.l2l) and “Hold Rx = OFF" (KT P.l18), the Hi-hat Control Pedal operation
information is converted to Hold messages, and therefore cannot be sent to the internal sound source.
-+ Set the “Ctrl Chg" to a status other than "HOLD", or set it to “Hold Rx = ON".
O Unexpected sounds are heard when you play the TD-7 with an external MlDl sequencer.
Check if the TD-7's Phrase Sequencer is playing.
-+ Set the Sequence Pattern Number set at the Trigger signal to “OFF”. ( =11’ P44)
Q The sensitivity of pads seems weak, and appropriate sound is difficult to obtain.
Did you hit the pads immediately after turning the power on‘?
-tiwhen power is turned on, you should never attempt to hit the pads until after the Patch Play screen (1? P.l7) has appeared. lf you hit the
pads when power is turned on, a "DC~\/OLT abnormal" error rnessagge could appear in the display. In this case, tum the power on again.
Q On occasion, no sound is heard when a pad is struck; or, the tempo slows down when the Phrase Sequencer is
playing back something.
Check if other devices are sending System Exclusive data to the TD-7.
-t» Do not hit the Pads or play the Sequencer while the TD~7 is receiving System Exclusive data.
Q The setting for the Threshold Level, a Trigger parameter, tends to get altered.
lf set to use the Automatic Parameter Setting ( tit‘ P.45), the Threshold Level for pads which are not hit is set automatically. This is an
intelligent feature which is designed to eliminate the crosstalk that might occur between pads. lf you wish to have the Threshold Level at a
different setting, follow the procedure on page 42, 47' to make the setting again.
