Troubleshooting
Appendices
Bulk Dump Is Not Transmitted
Check the following points.
• Is the MIDI cable connected properly?
→ If you wish to save a bulk dump on an external
device, connect the TD-8’s MIDI OUT/THRU
connector to the external sequencer’s MIDI IN
connector (p. 149).
• Has the “No reception of MIDI Exclusive Messages”
setting been selected on the external MIDI device?
→ Refer to the owner’s manual for the external MIDI
device.
System exclusive data is data unique to individual
devices, so verify all settings.
In GM mode, No Sound of a Specific
Part in a Performance
• Is the TD-8 set not to receive MIDI messages? ([SHIFT] +
[MIXER])
→ press CURSOR [ ] or [ ] to select the part and
switch the ON/OFF setting (p. 161).
Sequencer-related Problems
Pattern or Song Screen Not Displayed
• Is the TD-8 in GM mode? ([SETUP] → [F2 (MIDI)] → [F1
(GLOBAL)] → [F3 (PAGE 3)])
→ Set “GM MODE” to “OFF” (p. 159). The sequencer
does not function when the TD-8 is in GM mode.
No Sound When [PLAY/STOP] is
Pressed
• Are the [GROUP FADERS] sliders lowered?
→ Press the [FADERS] button, and proceed with making
the necessary adjustments (p. 21).
Use [KICK], [SNARE], [HI-HAT], [TOMS], and
[CYMBALS] to adjust the drum kit parts, [OTHERS]
to adjust the percussion parts, and [BACKING] to
adjust the backing parts.
• Is it a blank pattern that is being played back?
→ Play back a pattern containing performance data (p.
99).
• Do you have Local Control (p. 155) set to “OFF?”
→ Local Control should be set to “ON” if an external
sequencer is not being used.
No Sound of a Specific Part in a Performance
• Is the part being muted? ([PATTERN] → [F2 ( PART)]
→ [MUTE])
→ Select [F1], [F2], or [F3] (p. 106).
Only Drum Performance Not Played in Pattern
or Song
• Are only the drums in the percussion part being muted?
([PATTERN] → [F2 ( PART)] → [MUTE])
→ Refer to p. 107 and make the necessary settings.
