Advanced Methods of Using Pads

■ Connecting a PD-80R/PD-120 to a TRIGGER
INPUT Other Than TRIG 2
If TRIG 2 is already being used for another pad, you can still connect a PD-
80R/PD-120 to two of the TMC-6's TRIGGER INPUTS (such as 3 and 4 or 5
and 6) with an optional cable (PCS-31) and have rim shots played as a
separate tone.
1. Make the connections shown in the figure below.

Red: TRIG 4, 6
In this case, the white plug tip is connected to TRIG 3 or 5 (head), and the red
plug tip is connected to TRIG 4 or 6 (rim).
2. Set the trigger type as shown below.
