SYNC/TEMPO
Parameter Value Explanation
TempoSync
AUTO, MIDI, USB,
INT
Specifies the tempo source.
AUTO: If MIDI clock is input from the MIDI
IN connector or the USB port, the tempo
automatically synchronizes to MIDI clock.
If MIDI clock is input simultaneously from
the MIDI IN connector and the USB port,
the USB port takes priority.
MIDI: The tempo synchronizes to MIDI
clock being input from the MIDI IN
connector.
USB: The tempo synchronizes to MIDI
clock being input from the USB port.
INT: The tempo operates according to the
TR-8S’s own setting. Use this setting if you
don’t want to synchronize with an external
device.
Sync Out
OFF, ON
Specifies whether clock, start, and stop
messages are transmitted to other devices
(ON) or are not transmitted (OFF).
RxStartStop
OFF, ON
When synchronizing to external MIDI
clock, specifies whether the step
sequencer’s start/stop is controlled from
an external device (ON) or is not controlled
(OFF).
MIDI
Parameter Value Explanation
Device ID
17–32
When transmitting and receiving system
exclusive messages, the device ID
numbers of both devices must match.
Omni Mode
OFF, ON
If this is ON, MIDI messages of all channels
are received.
Pattern Ch
1–16
Specifies the MIDI transmit/receive
channel of the pattern sequencer.
Kit Ch
1–16
Specifies the MIDI transmit/receive
channel for program change messages
that switch kits.

–127
(G 9)
Specify the MIDI note number for each
track’s instrument, instrument alternate
sound, and TRIGGER OUT.
USBMidiThru
OFF, ON
Specifies whether the MIDI messages
received from the USB port or MIDI IN port
are retransmitted without change from
the MIDI OUT connector and USB port
(ON)
or are not retransmitted
(OFF)
.
If this is ON, MIDI messages received at the
USB port are sent to the internal sound
engine and to the MIDI OUT connector,
and MIDI messages received at the MIDI
IN connector are combined with the
messages from the internal sound engine
and sent to the
USB port.
Soft Thru
OFF, ON
If this is ON, MIDI messages that are
input from the MIDI IN connector are re-
transmitted without change from the MIDI
OUT connector.
Tx Prog Chg
OFF, ON
Specifies whether program change
messages are transmitted (ON) or are not
transmitted (OFF).
Parameter Value Explanation
Tx EditData
OFF, ON
Specifies whether changes to the kit
settings (panel operations) are transmitted
as MIDI messages (ON) or are not
transmitted (OFF).
Tx Nudge
OFF, ON
Specifies whether MIDI Clock messages
are transmitted when you perform NUDGE
operations (ON) or are not transmitted
(OFF).
Rx Prog Chg
OFF, ON
Specifies whether program change
messages are received (ON) or are not
received (OFF).
Rx EditData
OFF, ON
Specifies whether MIDI messages that
edit the kit settings (panel operations) are
received (ON) or are not received (OFF).
SOUND
Parameter Value Explanation
LocalSw
OFF, ON,
SURFACE
Specifies how the controller section
(pads [1]–[16], panel knobs, etc.) and
the sequencer section (patterns) are
connected to the internal sound engine.
OFF: The controller section and sequencer
section are internally disconnected from
the internal sound engine. Sound is
produced only in response to performance
data from an external MIDI device.
ON: The controller section and sequencer
section are internally connected with the
internal sound engine. Normally you will
leave this setting selected.
SURFACE: The controller section,
sequencer section, and external MIDI
device are disconnected from the internal
sound engine. Choose this setting if you
want operations on the TR-8S to only
control an external device.
