Example Of Connections And Settings; Adding A Pad To A Drum Module - Roland TMC-6 Owner's Manual

Example of Connections and Settings

Here is an introductory example of actual settings using the TMC-6.

Adding a Pad to a Drum Module

You can use the TMC-6 to increase the number of pads connected to a TD-10
or other sound generator.
The following describes how pads would be added if you were using a TD-10.
When you add pads to the TD-10, you can play the TD-10's drum kit
instruments using pads connected to the TD-10's trigger inputs, and play the
TD-10's percussion group instruments using pads connected to the TMC-6's
trigger inputs.
With the TD-10, you can select one of four percussion groups for each drum kit.
In the following explanation, [TD] indicates operations performed on the TD-
10, and [TMC] indicates operations on the TMC-6.
1. Make the connections as shown in the figure below.
To have rim shots sound a different tone when using the PD-80R/120,
connect the pad to TRIG 2. You cannot get rim shots if connected to any
trigger input other than TRIG 2.

You can also use note
numbers for trigger inputs
not being used by the TD-
10's drum kits (for
example tom rims). In this
case, you can make the
TD-10 settings using the
same procedure used for
the pads connected to the
TD-10's trigger inputs.
