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. 86.

• To prevent the sound of an instrument assigned to a pad
from playing, set the instrument’s “Level” to “0” (KIT/
INST/Level; p. 61).
• 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. 65).
• The TD-6 features auxiliary functions for songs set to One
Shot Playback and Tap Playback.
