MIDI Implementation
Model: TD-27
Date: June. 1. 2020
Version: 1.01
* In this implementation, the order in which the TD-27's buttons should be pressed is indicated in the following way. For example, [KIT
EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI] means “press the [KIT EDIT] button, then press the [OTHER] (F5) button, then select [KIT MIDI] with the cursor,
and finally press the [ENTER] button.” For details, refer to the TD-27 owner's manual (Quick Start).
* The “Data List” referred to in this document can be obtained via the Roland website.
1. Receive Data
■Channel Voice Messages
* The following Channel Voice Messages can be received by the channel assigned in [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[MIDI CH] MIDI CH.
* Not received when [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[BASIC] MIDI Tx/Rx Sw is set to “OFF.”
●Note On
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
9nH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
vv = note on velocity: 01H–7FH (1–127)
* Messages are received only on the channel that is assigned to the pad whose note number matches the message. For details on note
numbers, refer to the PAD MIDI page of “TD-27 Data List” (PDF).
* When the [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[BRUSH SW] Brush Switch is set to “ON,” the note number selected in [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[NOTE]
Note No. (SNARE<BRUSH>) is received on the channel to which the SNARE<HEAD> is assigned (when an instrument compatible with brush
performances is selected for the Snare pad head).
* The note number selected in [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[NOTE] NOTE NO. (SNARE<XSTICK>) is received on the channel to which the
SNARE<RIM> is assigned (when an instrument compatible with cross-sticking is selected for the Snare pad rim).
●Polyphonic Key Pressure
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
AnH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
vv = value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* Messages are received only on the channel that is assigned to the pad whose note number matches the message. For details on note
numbers, refer to the PAD MIDI page of “TD-27 Data List” (PDF).
* If the value is greater than 1, the decay of the note sounded by the received note number will be shortened based on the value (used in
choking).
●Control Change
○Modulation (Controller number 1)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 01H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
Pedal position: open to closed
Head strike position: center to perimeter
Rim strike position: deep to shallow
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, setting [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Pedal CC to “MODULATION (1)” changes the
hi-hat control pedal position.
* The strike position of the pad corresponding to the note number received changes immediately after [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] Snare CC
(for the SNARE pad head and rim), Ride CC (for the RIDE pad bow), or Toms/AUXs CC (for head and rim of TOM 1–3, AUX 1–3 pads) is set to
“MODULATION (1).”
○Breath Controller (Controller number 2)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 02H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
Pedal position: open to closed
Head strike position: center to perimeter
Rim strike position: deep to shallow
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, setting [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Pedal CC to “BREATH (2)” changes the hi-hat
control pedal position.
* The strike position of the pad corresponding to the same note channel's note number received changes immediately after
[SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] Snare CC (for the SNARE pad head and rim), Ride CC (for the RIDE pad bow), or Toms/AUXs CC (for head and rim of
TOM 1–3, AUX 1–3 pads) is set to “BREATH (2).”
○Foot Controller (Controller number 4)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 04H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
Pedal position: open to closed
Head strike position: center to perimeter
Rim strike position: deep to shallow
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, setting [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Pedal CC to “FOOT (4)” changes the hi-hat
control pedal position.
* The strike position of the pad corresponding to the same note channel's note number received changes immediately after
[SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] Snare CC (for the SNARE pad head and rim), Ride CC (for the RIDE pad bow), or Toms/AUXs CC (for head and rim of
TOM 1–3, AUX 1–3 pads) is set to “FOOT (4).”
