Q:Is it possible to make it so that the settings do not change if I accidentally turn a knob while playing?
A:
Going to TM-1 Editor's SETUP - SYSTEM screen and setting "Knob Lock" to "ON" disables operation of the [ PITCH ], [ DECAY ], and [ LEVEL ] knobs.
* The [ SENS ] knob is excluded.
TM-1 Editor is available at
TM-1 product information.
Q:Can I save the knob adjustments for individual kits?
A:
Yes.
In
TM-1 Editor, at the SETUP - SYSTEM screen, set "Knob Setting" to "INDIVIDUAL."
The method of how to adjust the settings for PITCH, DECAY, and LEVEL for individual kits is covered in TM-1 Quick Start #7: Tips 2. View it as well.
Q:A trigger that I'm not hitting also responds.
A:
One possibility is incorrect sound production (crosstalk) due to external sound or vibration, which means that adjusting the SENS knob and the XTalk Cancel value is necessary.
* Adjusting XTalk Cancel requires
TM-1 Editor.
The adjustment method is covered in TM-1 Quick Start #6: Tips 1. View it as well.
Q:Is loop playback possible?
A:
Yes.
At the EDIT - SAMPLE screen in
TM-1 Editor, set "Play Type" for the trigger you want to use for loop playback to "LOOP ALT."
Loop playback is covered in TM-1 Quick Start #5: "Using the TM-1 with a Guitar." View it as well.
Q:I imported a long audio file. What is the maximum playable length in seconds?
A:
Up to 6 seconds can be played.
Q:Can TRIG 2 be played with precedence while TRIG 1 is producing sound?
A:
Yes.
At the EDIT - SAMPLE screen in
TM-1 Editor, selecting "MUTE GROUP" for "Trig Mode" yields operation with reverse priority.
For instance, if TRIG 2 responds during playback of the instrument at TRIG 1, playback of the TRIG 1 instrument stops and the TRIG 2 instrument is played.
Q:What is the default MIDI channel?
A:
The default is channel 10.
You can change this using
TM-1 Editor.
Q:Can kits and instruments be rearranged?
A:
You can rearrange them by going to the MOVE screen in
TM-1 Editor and using "MOVE."
Q:How can I delete data backed up using TM-1 Editor?
A:
Under Windows or macOS/OS X, display the location selected as the destination at the time of the backup operation, select the backup file to delete (extension .TM1), then delete it.
Under iOS or Android, go to
TM-1 Editor's BACKUP tab and display Load Backup, select the backup file to delete (extension .TM1), then tap "Delete."
Q:What kind of sounds are included?

* To specify a value other than -64, 0, or +63, use
TM-1 Editor.
Q:Is an Auto Off function provided?
A:
No Auto Off function is built in.
When using an alkaline battery only, be careful not to forget to turn off the power.
Q:Is it possible to play the TM-1 using external MIDI signals?
A:
Yes.
You can play the TM-1 by sending MIDI note messages from a DAW program or the like on a computer or mobile device (iOS or Android) connected to the TM-1 via USB.
* The default note numbers are 36 (C2) for TRIG 1 and 38 (D2) for TRIG 2. You can change this at the EDIT - MIDI screen in
TM-1 Editor.
* Check beforehand whether the software you're using can send MIDI note messages to external devices.
Q:The names of some audio files read into TM-1 Editor are displayed as "???."
A:
In audio-file names, characters that are not alphanumeric (ASCII), such as two-byte characters and special symbols, are changed to "?" (question marks).
Q:Can TRIG 1 and TRIG 2 sounds be played in combination?
A:
Yes.
Going to
TM-1 Editor's EDIT - SAMPLE screen and setting "Trig Mode" to "TRIG LINK" lets you play TRIG 1 and TRIG 2 sounds in combination (i.e., simultaneously).
Q:Can I test-listen to sounds using only the TM-1 itself?
A:
Yes.
Pressing the MODE SELECT button to make the trigger indicators light up lets you use the [-] and [+] switches to preview (test-listen).
* Connect headphones to the PHONES jack or a speaker with built-in amplifier to the OUTPUT jack.

Q:If I connect an AC adaptor while a battery is still in the unit, which is used as the power source?
A:
The AC adaptor takes priority as the power supply.
* Even in such cases, battery capacity gradually declines due to spontaneous discharge.
* Please be aware that leaving a battery inside the unit for a prolonged period can result in danger of fluid leakage.
Q:What kinds of power sources are supported?
A:
Optional AC adaptors, USB bus power, USB AC adaptors, and alkaline batteries (9 V) are supported.
* Continuous operating time when using an alkaline battery is approximately 3 hours. (This differs according to battery specifications, capacity, and usage conditions.)
* When an AC adaptor and alkaline battery are connected at the same time, the AC adaptor takes precedence.
