13 and set program change to ‘ON’. 37 SECnON 7 Employing the TMX as a MIDI Sound Module The TMX internal sounds can be played and controlled from a MIDI sequencer and or a MIDI keyboard. Enter the Utility mode and be sure that the TMX receive channel matches the channel on which you are sending from the external MIDI device. By sending MIDI data from the keyboard or sequencer, you can access all of the sounds in a chosen TMX performance. Moreover, by changing patches in the course of a ‘sequenced song’, you can access any other TMX performances that you may need. Program changes range from 1 to 32 only. Be sure that Program change transmission/ reception reads ‘ON’ in Utility mode page 13. CONNECTIONS: MIDI Device (keyboard or sequencer) MIDI out to the TMX MIDI in. 38 SECTION 8 Data Backup Using System Exclusive Messages By employing MIDI exclusive messages, or ‘Bulk Dump’ in Utility mode, you can store the following information to a MIDI data filer such as a Yamaha MDF-2 or to another TMX: • All Performance or Individual Performances • All Chains • Utility Settings • All (Saving ‘All’ is most common) To save “ALL DATA”, you need to cursor right until it is blinking on ‘ALL’. Now hit the Store button and answer “YES” to send the data. Note: For live and studio performing, it is very important to back up your TMX data. An investment in a MIDI data filer is strongly suggested. With each new bulk store, you have a clean slate to write a new set of 32 kits and 16 song chains. You could show up to a gig with 32,000 kits and 1,600 song chains. This would be suitable for very long gigs! To load a bulk dump back into the TMX, the device number of the sending unit must match the device number on the TMX. Also, ‘Exclusive’ must be enabled in the TMX (Utility page 12). How the data is sent back to the TMX will vary, depending on the unit sending the data. When TMX is receiving data, the display screen will read as follows: Receive:P01 If any errors are detected while the TMX is receiving bulk data, the display will read as follows: Receive Error! If this is the case, simply send the bulk data one more time. *Waming! Warning!: Be sure that you have saved anything you need to keep before loading System Exclusive back into the TMX, as a bulk load completely writes over all data already in the TMX. SECTION 9 39 Recording into a Sequencer from Your TMX Drumset Step 1: Make the correct MIDI connection- TMX MIDI out to sequencer MIDI in, and sequencer MIDI out to TMX MIDI in. Choose the correct MIDI transmit channel from the TMX and the correct receive channel on the sequencer. Step 2: Choose the performance you wish to record with. Step 3: Press record on your sequencer and play away! Step 4: Stop the sequencer. Step 5: Se sure that the TMX receive channel matches the sequencer transmit channel (or leave the TMX in OMNI mode). Step 6: Play the sequencer and listen back to your performance. **Thls is a very professional and musical way to record drum patterns. Use it to your advantage! SECTION 10 Triggering from Tape Suppose you have just completed recording drums for your band, but you just aren’t able to get the drum sounds you wanted (maybe the studio is small and doesn’t have the equipment it takes, or maybe your drums just aren’t translating well, or the engineer can’t get the sound you want). No problem! All you need to do is feed the outputs of the tape machine to the trigger inputs on the TMX and adjust them as if you were setting up triggers for your acoustic kit. With your knowledge of the TMX, you should be able to get killer drum sounds. For example, a ‘rattle’ noise from your kick drum is ruining the sound of the drum, but it’s already been recorded and you’re starting to mix! Simply connect the tape out of the multi-track tape recorder to the trigger input that you wish to work with. Next, adjust the sensitivity as you would for any drum, until you are satisfied with the result. Now, choose the bass drum of your dreams (possibly a layer) and either record it onto a clean track or let it run live from the TMX during the mix. This is a very common practice, and most engineers will be able to do this very easily. You may also wish to layer this new triggered drum with the original acoustic drum for a more natural effect. With this in mind, you can replace snares or add bizarre effects to your toms as an after thought—the possibilities are endless! SECTION 11 TMX Diagnostics Trouble Shooting or, “What to do if...” This section addresses some of the more common questions and problems regarding the use of the TMX. Check for answers to any problems here before calling your local music store or YAMAHA. The TMX isn’t reading your playing at all/ there’s no triggered sound. 1. Be sure that the trigger or pad is plugged into the TMX input. 2. Make sure that the TMX isn’t in ‘Bypass’ mode. 3. Make sure that your MIDI connections are correct (only if you are triggering an ...
