Am trying to trigger TD-8 via midi using SPD-20's pads and extra inputs as an add-on to my regular kit. When you hit the SPD-20 pads they "sound" the TD-8 module, but it only registers on the TD-8's "list/edit" screen when the midi note numbers match (or correspond to) those that are also factory assigned to the TD-8's trigger (pad)inputs. These sounds can be edited just like the ones for the pads that are plugged directly into the TD-8, but editing them also changes the corresponding sounds for those pads with the same midi numbers that are plugged directly into the TD-8. Bottom line, great for editing the midi trigger pads (very easy), but it also totally screws-up (edits) all the sounds on your regular kit.
On the other hand, all the "non-corresponding" midi numbers from the SPD-20 also "sound" the TD-8 module, but they do not register at all on the TD-8's "list/edit" screen. So, I'm not sure these can be edited at all (?).
So what gives? Am I missing something? Do you really have to get out the midi list from the back of the manual (that list all the sounds with their corresponding midi note numbers) everytime you want to set-up a midi trigger? ... and also make sure you don't use a note number that's also assigned to one of your regular kit's pads? And if this is true, how in the world do you edit these if you can't pull them up on the edit screen.
Surely I'm missing something here??? The manual is of no use at all in trying to figure this out. Can someone enlighten me on this?
