About Transmitting/Receiving
Program Changes
Drum Kit
The drum kit program numbers are always the same as the
drum kit numbers; this relationship is fixed, and cannot be
changed.
Percussion Set
Percussion set program numbers are predetermined. Refer to
the “Preset Percussion Set List” (p. 124).
Backing Part (Part 1–4) Instruments
The instrument program numbers, and controller numbers 0
and 32 are fixed. Refer to the “Backing Instrument List” (p.
126).
If tone changes are made on an external MIDI device, the TD-
6’s instruments are switched, but the change is not recorded
by the sequencer.
Triggering an External Sound
Device by Playing the TD-6
This sets the TD-6 so that the external MIDI sound module is
sounded when the pads are struck.
With this setting, both the TD-6 and the external sound
module can play simultaneously.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT
connector of the TD-6 to the MIDI IN connector
of the external MIDI device.

2. Match the MIDI channel to be used for
transmitting data from the TD-6 and the MIDI
channel that the external MIDI device will use
for receiving the data.
(SETUP/MIDI PART/CH; p. 102)
3. Specify the note number to be transmitted from
each pad. (KIT/CONTROL/Note No.; p. 66)
Set this to the note number of the sound that you wish to
play on the external MIDI sound module or sampler.
4. Set the MIDI Gate Time.
(KIT/CONTROL/Gate Time; p. 67)
You can use different pad note number and gate time
settings in each drum kit.
