Thanks Giedrius,
The https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TR-8S_MIDIImpleChart_eng01_W.pdf
midi shart shows that tuning of individual instruments is done with CC messages. To play a Low Tom (for example) chromatically you’d have to program your midi controller to send CC 29 to change the pitch and then send MIDI note 43 to trigger the Low Tom. You’d have to basically do this for each pad and hope that the tr8s can handle hitting two pads at once or in quick succession while tuning is being changed.
CC#20 BD TUNE
CC#25 SD TUNE
CC#46 LT TUNE
CC#49 MT TUNE
CC#52 HT TUNE
CC#55 RS TUNE
CC#58 HC TUNE
CC#61 CH TUNE
CC#80 OH TUNE
CC#83 CC TUNE
CC#86 RC TUNE
or alternatively the coarse control (one or the other)
CC#96 BD CTRL
CC#97 SD CTRL
CC#102 LT CTRL
CC#103 MT CTRL
CC#104 HT CTRL
CC#105 RS CTRL
CC#106 HC CTRL
CC#107 CH CTRL
CC#108 OH CTRL
CC#109 CC CTRL
CC#110 RC CTRL
Once again I would like to control the tr8s from a Pioneer Squid or Keystep pro (Squid is maybe more midi flexible).
Thanks in advance if you could show me the pipe drawing , I am not smart enough to understand how to do it on my own…
