IMPORTANT NOTES
291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the
following:

Power Supply

Maintenance

301

401a

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement
351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data
452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret
that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b

• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
add1

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
add2

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases)
on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry,
soft cloth.

Memory Backup
501b

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s
memory circuits while the main power is off. When this
battery becomes weak, the message shown below will
appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the
battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to
avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery
replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the attached “Information” leaflet.

TD-6KV_e.book 5 ページ ２００５年１月２４日 月曜日 午後７時４分

Additional Precautions
551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device
(e.g., a sequencer).
552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).

558c

• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially at night and when using headphones. Although
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by
switching to mesh heads.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

General MIDI (

) System

General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the
limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the General MIDI
standard bear the General MIDI logo (
).
Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI
sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

About the Pads

Playing the Pads
■ Pad Head Shots and Rim Shots
When you perform a head shot, the head instrument is played; rim shots
produce the sound of the rim instrument.
To play a rim shot, you must strike both the head and the rim of the pad
simultaneously.
PD-7, PD-8, PD-9, PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, PD-125:
Both head and rim shots are available.
PD-6, PD-80, PD-100, RP-2:
Only head shots are available

When using rim shots on
the PD-80R, PD-85, PD105, PD-120 or PD-125,
connect the pad to
TRIGGER INPUT 2
(SNARE).

fig.P-025.e

■ Cross Stick
When you perform a cross stick, the rim instrument is played.
When using the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, or PD-125 to play the cross
stick, be sure that you only strike the rim (outer edge) of the pad. Placing your
hand on the head (center area) of the pad prevents the cross stick sound from
being played properly.

• When using rim shots
on the PD-80R, PD-85,
PD-105, PD-120 or PD125, connect the pad to
TRIGGER INPUT 2
(SNARE).
• The cross stick is also
referred to as a “closed
rim shot.”

fig.P-025a.e

Rim

By selecting the
instruments with “XS”
after the instrument name,
playing a rim shot
produces a rim shot tone,
and cross sticking gives a
cross stick tone.

Using the TD-6V As a General MIDI Sound Module
The TD-6V features GM mode, allowing it to play back GM scores (music
data for GM sound generators) from an External Sequencer. The TD-6V has a
function that lets you mute only the drum sounds in GM mode, making this
a very useful feature. For details, refer to “Switch to the GM (General MIDI)
Mode (GM Mode)” (p. 99) and “MIDI Messages Stop Function for Specific
Parts in GM (General MIDI) Mode (GM PART)” (p. 102).

When Using the TD-6V as a GM Sound Module (p. 99)
• The TD-6V functions as a 16-part multi-timbre sound module.
• The internal sequencer is disabled.
• Drum kit parts cannot be played using MIDI messages sent from an
external device. They can be played only by playing pads connected
to the TD-6V.

The TD-6V can also be
used as a sound module
along with MIDI
keyboards and MIDI
sequencers (p. 107).

Playing a Song by Hitting a Pad
(Pad Pattern)
The Pad Pattern function is a feature that lets you start the
performance of pre-specified songs by striking the pads. This
function provides a very convenient way to use songs during
a live performance or when practicing.
The Song Set “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT”
LOOP: After the song is played back all the way to the end,
playback then repeats, starting at the beginning of the song.
ONE SHOT: Playback stops once the end of the song is
reached. Each time the pad is struck returns you to the
beginning of the song and starts playback.
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.
If you have switched a song whose instrument settings are
different, the sound may be interrupted for an instant.
The Song Set “Tap”
The sounds are played back in sequence each time the pad is
struck.
If you are playing a song set “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT” and
you then play a song set to TAP playback....then you can use/
listen to both at the same time.

• To see which songs can be selected here, refer to “Preset
Song List” (p. 128).
• For the play type of the song, refer to p. 85.

• This setting cannot be made in GM mode (p. 99).
• Performances using the Pad Pattern function cannot be
recorded to sequencers.

• You can select the song Category by holding down
[SHIFT] and pressing [+] or [-].
• You can preview a song by holding down [SHIFT] and
pressing [KIT].
• To prevent the sound of an instrument assigned to a pad
from playing, set the instrument’s “Level” to “0” (KIT/
INST/Level; p. 59).
• You can get a stronger response when striking the pads
by playing back with the song’s velocity changed (KIT/
CONTROL/Pad Ptn Velo; p. 63).
• The TD-6V features auxiliary functions for songs set to
One Shot Playback and Tap Playback.
For more details, refer to
“Quick Play” (SONG/COMMON/Quick Play; p. 86),
“Reset Time” (SONG/COMMON/Reset Time; p. 86),
and “Tap Exc Sw (Tap Exclusive Switch)” (SONG/
COMMON/Tap Exc Sw; p. 86).

the song is played back using the velocity specified for the

Pitch Control with the Hi-Hat
Control Pedal On/Off for Each Pad
(Pitch Control Assign)
Pitch Control is a function that lets you change the pitch of an
instrument assigned to a pad according to the amount the hihat control pedal is pressed. Releasing the pedal returns the
instrument to its original pitch.
Here, make the Pitch Control on/off setting for each pad.
When set to “OFF,” the instrument’s pitch remains
unchanged.

The range over which the pitch changes is set in
“PchCtrlRange (Pitch Control Range)” (KIT/COMMON/
PchCtrlRange; p. 66).

• To prevent the pedal hi-hat sound from being played
when the hi-hat pedal is pressed, set “Pedal HH Vol
(Pedal Hi-Hat Volume)” to “0” (KIT/COMMON/Pedal
HH Vol; p. 66).
• To make pitch changes occur more smoothly, set
“PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin)” to “1” or “OFF”
(SETUP/MIDI COMMON/PdlDataThin; p. 99).

MIDI Note Number for Each Pad
(Note Number)
In each drum kit, you can set the MIDI note numbers to be
transmitted/received by each pad.
For the hi-hat, make the setting only for the note number for
the Open Hi-Hat (default setting is 46 (A#2)). With this setting,
the closed hi-hat (initial settings value of 42 (F#2)) and pedal
hi-hat (initial settings value of 44 (G#2)) are changed together
to the open setting.

This setting cannot be made in GM mode (p. 99).

When the open hi-hat note number is set to “60 (C4),” the note
number for the closed hi-hat becomes “56 (G#3)” and the note
number for the pedal hi-hat becomes “58 (A#3).”

For information on factory-set note number settings, refer to
“Drum Kit Note Numbers” (p. 125) in the “Preset Percussion

When Setting Multiple Pads to the Same Note
Number
When using an external MIDI device to play TD-6V drum kits,
if overlapping note numbers are received, the instrument
assigned to the pad connected to the lowest-numbered trigger
input is sounded.
When note numbers for the head and rim are duplicated, the
head instrument is played.
When the pad is struck, the note number set for the pad is
sent.

When the same note number is assigned to more than one
pad, then “ ” appears in the settings screen for the pad that
is prevented from sounding even when the Note Number is
received.

MIDI Gate Time for Each Pad
(Gate Time)
For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will
“hold” during transmission from the MIDI OUT.
Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in
response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note off”
messages. However general-purpose sound modules or
samplers do receive the note-off messages that are transmitted
and respond by turning off the sound.
At the factory settings, the Gate Time setting is set to the
minimum value, since a drum sound module will likely not
make use of it. If a sound module received this data as it is
receiving a Note OFF message, the interval will be too short,
so most sounds will not be played (or it may sound like barely
perceptible noise). To avoid this problem, set a longer gate
time for each pad that is to be played.

This setting cannot be made in GM mode (p. 99).

Eliminate Crosstalk Between Pads
(Crosstalk Cancel)
When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the vibration
produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound from
another pad unintentionally (This is called crosstalk.) You
can avoid this problem by adjusting Crosstalk Cancel on the
pad that is sounding inadvertently.
If the value is set too high, then when two pads are played
simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully will not
sound. So be careful and set this parameter to the minimum
value required to prevent such crosstalk. With a setting of
“OFF,” crosstalk prevention does not function.

used for the hi-hat while striking the snare pad. Striking the
snare pad, raise the “CROSSTALK” setting for the hi-hat
cymbal pad from “OFF” through “20,” “25.”.. until crosstalk
no longer occurs. As this value is raised, the hi-hat cymbal pad

Chapter 2 Making the Pad and Trigger Settings (SETUP/TRIG)

Adjusting the Trigger Signal
Detection Time (Scan Time)
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ
slightly depending on the characteristics of each pad or
acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup), you may notice that
identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at different
volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “SCAN TIME” so
that your velocity of playing can be detected more precisely.
As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be
played increases.
fig.02-019.e

Scan Time

Time

played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value possible
while still ensuring that there is no retriggering.

You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the
Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger signals
if they occur within the specified amount of time after the
previous trigger signal was received. Retrigger Cancel detects
the attenuation of the trigger signal level, and triggers the
sound after internally determining which trigger signals were
actually generated when the head was struck, while weeding
out the other false trigger signals that need not trigger a
sound.
Making the settings
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel”
value until retriggering no longer occurs.
fig.02-022_50

Making the settings
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually
raise the Scan Time value from 0 msec, until the resulting
volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try both
soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume changes
appropriately.

Scan Time: 0–4.0 (ms) (0.1ms steps)

Detecting Trigger Signal Attenuation
and Cancelling Incorrect Triggering
(Retrigger Cancel)
Playing snare drum pads and other devices with
commercially available acoustic drum triggers attached may
result in altered waveforms, which may also cause inadvertent
sounding at Point A in the following figure.
fig.02-021.e

On a kick pad, for example, if the beater bounces back and
strikes the pad a second time immediately after the intended
stroke—or, like with acoustic drums if you leave the bass
drum beater against the head—it can cause a single strike to
“double trigger” (two sounds instead of the intended one).
The Mask Time setting helps to prevent such problems. Once
a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals occurring
within the specified “MASKTIME” (0–64 msec) will be
ignored.
When set to a high value, it then becomes easy for sounds to
be omitted when the kick is struck repeatedly in rapid
succession. Set this to as low a value as you can.

This occurs in particular at the decaying edge of the

If two or more sounds are being produced when you strike the
head just once, then adjust Retrigger Cancel.

Chapter 2 Making the Pad and Trigger Settings (SETUP/TRIG)

Making the settings
While stepping on the pad being used for the kick, raise the
“Mask Time” value until there is no more bouncing (sounds
made by the rebounding of the beater).

Using the TD-6V with Acoustic
Triggers
First, attach an RT-series drum trigger (or commercially
available acoustic drum trigger) to the acoustic drums. When
finished, proceed with the following settings.

fig.02-024_50

1. Set the trigger type to “RT-3T,” “RT-5S,” or “RT7K.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 69)

Setting Rim Sensitivity on the PD80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, and
PD-125 (Rim Sens)
When a PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120 or PD-125 is used
for TRIGGER INPUT 2 (SNARE), you can then adjust the Rim
Sensitivity.
Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get rim sounds.
When set to “OFF,” playing a rim shot produces the head
instrument’s sound. Increasing the value excessively may
cause the rim instrument to sound as well when the head is
struck.

2. Set “Threshold” to “0” as a reference value.
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 72)
3. Set “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve)” to “LINEAR” as
a reference value.
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 72)
4. Set the “Sensitivity.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Sensitivity; p. 71)
5. Set the “Scan Time.”
(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Scan Time; p. 74)
Strike the head several times with the same force, and
adjust this parameter if the volume is uneven.

6. Set the “Retrig Cancel (Retrigger Cancel).”
(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Retrig Cancel; p. 74)
This prevents multiple notes from sounding when a

On a kick drum, this prevents two sounds instead of the
intended “one.”

This prevents other instruments with drum triggers from
sounding when a drum to which a drum trigger has been
attached is struck. If a higher value is set, and if two pads
are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less
forcefully will not sound. Set this to as low a value as you
can.

9. Set the “Threshold.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 72)
If notes are unintentionally sounded even after you have
adjusted the “CROSSTALK” setting, adjust the
“THRESHOLD.” Setting this to a higher value may
prevent sounds from being produced when the pad is
struck lightly. Set this to as low a value as you can.

10. Set the “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve).”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 72)
If changes in playing dynamics do not produce a natural
change in the volume of the TD-6V instrument, adjust
this parameter.

About Songs
The TD-6V’s sequencer organizes music into six parts. The
Drum Kit part is used to record/play back what is played on
the pads. Additionally, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 are the
four backing instrument parts (backing parts), and there is
another Percussion part.
The collective performance of these six parts is called a song.

Sequencer cannot be used in GM mode (p. 99).

Preset (Internal) Songs (Songs 1–170)
What the various parts should play has already been
recorded. The performances in Preset patterns cannot be
changed, deleted, or recorded. These songs come in handy for
backing during drum practice, or for live performances.

When performing with the Pad Pattern function, if you start
playback by striking a pad and then do not strike the pad again
within the specified interval, the song is returned to the beginning.

To prevent accidental erasure or editing, you can lock User songs.
If you attempt to change the settings of a song for which this
set to “ON,” a warning screen appears, and you cannot
change the settings.
However, you cannot select this during recording of a song or
when a new User song is selected by pressing [SHIFT] +
[STOP
]. Since you can also lock unused User Songs, then in
situations such as when using the TD-6V as a sound module, it’s
a good idea to lock songs when you want to save their settings.

About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard
that allows performance data and other information to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and
computers. MIDI With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI devices
that are equipped with MIDI connectors, you can play
multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple
MIDI instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings
to change automatically to match the performance as the song
progresses, and more.
While using only pads with the TD-6V, there is no need to
have any detailed knowledge of MIDI. For those who wish to
use MIDI keyboards to record patterns on the TD-6V, use it as
a sound module with external sequencers, or learn the TD-6V
at a more advanced level, the following explains such matters
related to MIDI.

As shipped from the factory, this is set to MIDI OUT.

MIDI Channels and Multi-timbral
Sound Modules
MIDI can send numerous streams of performance data over a single
MIDI cable. This is made possible by MIDI channels. MIDI channels
allow messages intended for a given instrument to be distinguished
from messages intended for another instrument. In some ways,
MIDI channels are similar to television channels. By changing
channels on a television you can view programs from many
different broadcast stations. This is because the television set has
thus been directed to selectively display only the information being
transmitted by a particular station. In the same way, MIDI also
allows a device to select the information intended for that device
out of the variety of information that is being transmitted to it.
fig.07-002.e

The cable from the antenna carries the TV
signals from many broadcast stations.

MIDI Connectors
The TD-6V has the following two types of MIDI connectors.

Station C
The TV is set to the channel of the station
you wish to watch.

fig.07-001

There are sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Set the receiving
device so that it will receive only the channel that it needs to receive.
Example:

MIDI IN Connector Function
This receives MIDI messages transmitted from an external
MIDI device. When it receives MIDI messages, the TD-6V
performs a variety of actions such as playing sounds and
switching drum kits and part instruments.

Set the TD-6V to send Channel 1 and Channel 2, then set
sound module A to receive only Channel 1 and sound module
B only Channel 2. In this way, sound module A plays the
guitar part and sound module B plays the bass part.

Chapter 7 Making the MIDI Settings (SETUP/MIDI, BULK DUMP)

For playback, the performance data that has been recorded to
the sequencer is sent to the sound module, which produces
the sound. The data for each of the sequencer’s parts causes
the corresponding part in the internal sound module to be
played. When performance data is recorded, the performance
data from pads and MIDI keyboards is sent to the sequencer;
the data recorded here is then sent to the sound module for
playback.

MIDI channels simultaneously to play different sounds on
each channel are called “multi-timbral sound modules.”

How the Internal Sequencer Operates
A sequencer is an electronic instrument used for recording and
playback of performances. The TD-6V features such a sequencer
function. The TD-6V comes with 150 different built-in
performance songs (Preset songs) which can be used for drum
practice and other purposes. You can also create your own songs.

Chapter 7 Making the MIDI Settings (SETUP/MIDI, BULK DUMP)

Switch to the GM (General MIDI)
Mode (GM Mode)
The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.
fig.07-013_50

The TD-6V features a GM mode—a convenient way to play
back GM score data (music files for General MIDI sound
module).

CH10Priorty (Channel 10 Priority): KIT, PERC

For more on the GM system, refer to p. 13.

KIT (Drum Kit Part):
When overlapping note numbers are received, the drum kit
part’s instrument (the pad instrument) is sounded.

To ensure proper playback of GM scores, set the TD-6V to GM
mode.

PERC (Percussion Part):
The percussion part’s instrument is always played.

Hi-Hat Control Pedal Data
Reduction (Pedal Data Thin)
This function allows you to prevent an excessive amount of
data from being transmitted from the pedal to the internal
sequencer or via the MIDI OUT.

When you want to make smooth changes in the pitch control
with the Hi-Hat control Pedal, set this to “1” or “OFF.”

Setting this to “ON” initializes the TD-6V’s internal sound
generator for use with GM, while the GM System percussion
set (Standard Set) is assigned to Part 10, and Piano 1 is
assigned to all other parts.
The TD-6V switches to GM mode at the following times.
• When Switching to GM Mode
• When it receives a GM System On message from an
external MIDI device
• When the TD-6V has received a GM System On message
as the result of playing back a song containing a GM
System On message on an external MIDI device

To mute the performance of a specific part in GM mode, you
can make the appropriate setting for “GM PART” (SETUP/
GM PART/Part Rx Sw; p. 102).

The settings screen does not appear in GM mode.

PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin): OFF, 1, 2
OFF:
Data sent from the pedal is not reduced.
1:
This reduces the data sent from the pedal. Usually, “1” is
selected.
2:
This reduces the data sent from the pedal. This setting results
in even less data than when “1” is selected.

[PLAY
], [STOP
], [REC
], [CLICK], and [PART
MUTE] buttons are disabled. Also, [SHIFT] + [CLICK
(TEMPO)] cannot be used.
• Some parameters cannot be set in GM mode. For more
detailed information, refer to “Parameter List” (p. 130).
• Program changes in GM mode are predetermined, and
thus cannot be changed. Use the program changes in the
“Preset Percussion Set List” (p. 124) and “Backing
Instrument List” (p. 126).
• The pan of the percussion set is based on how the set
sounds from where the drums are played. Be aware that
the panning recommended with General MIDI is
reversed.

fig.07-014_50

• You cannot use the TD-6V to make changes to the part
settings. Change the setting by sending the Control
Change Bank Select (CC0#, CC32#) and Program Change
(PC) from the external MIDI device.
• When the power is turned on, “GM Mode” is ordinarily
set to “OFF.”
• Drum kit parts cannot be played using MIDI messages
sent from an external device. They can be played only by
playing pads connected to the TD-6V.
• Sequencers cannot be used in GM mode. The [SONG],

initialize a sound generator so that it will be compatible
with the GM system.
When “RX GM ON” is set to “OFF,” the GM System ON
message is ignored.

Set the Device ID (Device ID)
The setting described here is necessary only when you wish to
transmit separate data to two or more TD-6V units at the same
time. Do not change this setting in any other case.

Setting the TD-6V So That Program
Changes Are Not Transmitted (Tx PC Sw)
The TD-6V sends a Program Change message to external
devices when the drums kit is switched. If this is “OFF”,
Program Changes will not be transmitted.

At the factory settings, the device ID is set to “17.”
Example:
When saving data using Bulk Dump (p. 103), save using “17”
as the TD-6V Device ID. When re-transmitting this data back
to the TD-6V, it won’t receive if the Device ID is set to
something other than “17.” Even if you happen to have
another TD-6V connected, data will not be received if the
Device ID is set to something other than “17.”
