Overview of the TR-6S
About saving the pattern and kit
Parameters of the pattern or kit that you’re editing are remembered until you turn off the power. Even if you select a different pattern or kit,
and then re-select the one you had been editing, it is recalled in the edited state; however, if you turn the power off and on again, it returns
to the unedited state. If you want to keep the edits that you made to a pattern or kit, you must save that pattern or kit
What Is a “PATTERN”?
The performance data that you record using TR-REC or INST-REC is
called a “pattern.”
The TR-6S has 128 patterns (16 patterns x 8 banks); each pattern has
eight variations (A–H) and two fill-in patterns.
The variations (A–H) and the two fill-ins each have seven tracks
(ACCENT, BD, SD, LT, HC, CH, OH).
