Song Does Not Sound As Intended; Sound Is Distorted - Roland TD-6V Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting
Wrong Sound Plays
Is there a mistake in the head and rim
selection? (p. 55)
➝ With some parameters, you can make separate settings for
the head and rim. At this time, confirm the trigger type
appearing in the upper right of the screen, then make the
settings.
Are you making the rim shot (p. 36) and cross
stick (p. 36) correctly?
➝ To play rim shots, strike the head and rim simultaneously.
For cross stick, make sure your hand or stick does not
touch or strike the head.
Song Does Not Sound As
Intended
Song Sounds Odd
Have the part settings been changed?
(SONG/PART; p. 87)
➝ Press [+] or [-] to make the settings.
Playback Stops Immediately After
Beginning
Is the song playback type set to "TAP?"
(SONG/COMMON/Play Type; p. 85)
➝ Press [-] to set this to "LOOP" or "1SHOT."
"TAP" refers to the convenient playback function in Pad
Pattern (tapping the pad causes the song to be played
back).

The Song Stops Suddenly When
Playing the Pads
Are you using the Pad Pattern function?
(KIT/CONTROL/Pad Ptn; p. 63)
➝ If so, look at your settings. Or see p. 63.
When triggering/playing a song that is set to "LOOP" or
"ONE SHOT" mode, if you trigger another song (from a
pad), also in "LOOP" or "ONE SHOT" mode then the last
song played will have priority. Don't forget that some
"songs" are very short, a few notes, or even one chord. So
"sudden" stops can be caused by accidently triggering one
of these short songs. Always check your Pad Pattern
settings.

Sound is distorted

Sound in Headphones Distorted
Sometimes, setting the headphone output too
high using certain tones can make it appear
that the sound is somewhat distorted.
➝ Turn down [VOLUME] completely. This alleviates the
distortion.
Output Sound Is Distorted
Sounds may become distorted somewhat
because of certain instrument and equalizer
settings.
➝ Lower the pad's instrument volume.
(KIT/INST/Level; p. 59)
➝ Setting the Pan (positioning) at or near the center may
suppress the distortion. (KIT/INST/Pan; p. 59)
