Using the TD-6 As a Sound
Module
Here, the TD-6 is used as a sound module. You can connect an
external MIDI sequencer and play back songs or connect a
MIDI-compatible keyboard or pads for performance.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN
connector of the TD-6 to the MIDI OUT
connector of the external MIDI device.

2. Match the MIDI channel to be used for
transmitting data from the external MIDI device
and the MIDI channel that the TD-6 will use for
receiving the data. (SETUP/MIDI PART/CH; p. 102)
3. Set “CH10Priorty (Channel 10 Priority)” as
needed when playing drum and percussion
performances with an external MIDI sequencer.
(SETUP/MIDI COMMON/CH10Priorty; p. 99)
4. Select one of the TD-6’s new User songs (p. 84).
You can select a song that has not yet been used by
holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [STOP ].
New User songs are indicated by “ ” in the display.
5. Make the settings for the TD-6’s parts.
(SONG/PART; p. 88)
Specify the part instruments and percussion sets, volume
levels, etc.
When using the TD-6 as a sound module, the sounds you
select must be assigned to a SONG as the song
parameters store which sounds you are using. Once you
select a new User song and make the settings, you can
then call up these settings just by selecting this song. You
can also prevent recording or changes to the settings by
setting “Song Lock” to “ON” (SONG/COMMON/Song
Lock; p. 87).
6. When playing the external MIDI device, the TD-6
will sound.
