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 hi-
hat 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. 68).
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. 68).
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. 100).
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
Set List.”

Sounding an External MIDI Device by
Playing Pads Connected to the TD-6
Specify the MIDI note numbers (key numbers on a keyboard)
that will be transmitted by the TD-6 when the pads are struck.
Set this to the note number of the sound that you wish to play
on the external sound module or sampler.
Using an External MIDI Device to Play
TD-6 Drum Kit Part Sounds
(TD-6 Used As Sound Module)
Specify the note number corresponding to the pad. When the
TD-6 receives the note number specified here, the instrument
assigned to the pad is played.
On the TD-6, the drum kit part and percussion part can both
be set to Channel 10 at the same time.
When two parts are set to channel 10, you should also set
“CH10Priority (Channel 10 Priority)” to determine whether
