Other Ways to Use the TMC-6

■ Connecting to a Multitrack Recorder

By taking the sounds of the kick, snare and other drum sounds recorded live
onto separate tracks on a multitrack recorder and inputting each of them to
the TMC-6's trigger inputs, you can use the recorded sounds as trigger signals
for playing sounds on a MIDI sound generator or a sampler.
For the trigger type, select "

■ Connecting a Microphone

By connecting a microphone to the TMC-6, you can use the microphone to
pick up the sound of the kick drum and other sounds, and use the sounds as
trigger signals to play sounds on a MIDI sound module.
For the trigger type, select "
* If the sound of the snare drum is picked up by the kick drum mic, then the sound of
the snare being struck may trigger sounds from the kick drum. In such situations, you
can counter the problem by raising the Crosstalk Cancel value for the trigger input
to which the kick drum is connected, or by using equalization to lower the level of the
snare sound input to the TMC-6.
