Roland TD-6SX Tips

Mesh Pads:
Although the TD-6SX features mesh V-pads for the snare (PD-105) and toms (PD-85 x 3), only the Snare input
of the TD-6V Percussion Module has dual trigger capabilities for mesh V-Pads.
In other words, rim triggering is not supported on MESH V-pads when connected to any of the tom inputs on
the TD-6V Percussion Module.
Note: When performing a factory reset on the TD-6V, the snare input pad type defaults to PD-80R which will
work for the PD-105. The tom inputs default to pad type PD-8. Changing the tom pad type to PD-80R may in-
crease sensitivity of the mesh head pad, but will not support independent rim triggering from mesh head tom
pads.
CY-12R/C-C V-Cymbal:
The TD-6V does not support 3-way triggering with the CY-12R/C-C. However there are two ways to use
the CY-12R/C with the TD-6V module:
1. This method uses Factory settings on the TD-6V:
• Connect one end of the cable labeled "RD" to the Bow/Edge jack of the CY-12R/C. This is the jack
closest to the player (opposite the top Roland logo) on the CY-12R/C-C.
