4. Strike the pad you wish to set.
The setting screen for the struck pad appears.
This setting applies to both the head and rim.
5. Find the trigger type for the pad you are using
from the following chart.
Use the “AcDrTrig” setting when you use acoustic drums
to sound the TD-6. For details refer to “Using the TD-6
with Acoustic Triggers” (p. 76).
When using a pad made by another manufacturer, first
select “PD7/9” and try playing the pad. (For a kick, select
“KD Type.”) If, with this setting, the pad striking force
does not produce a stable volume, try a setting of “P1.” A
setting of “P2” will be even more stable, but since the Scan
Time (p. 69) will be even longer, the interval from when
the pad is struck until the sound is heard will be slightly
(approximately 0.003 seconds) longer, or it will be difficult
to obtain changes based on playing dynamics. The “Other
1" and “Other 2" settings are for use with pads with trigger
output waveforms that have a slow attack.
There may be no improvement of conditions when non-
Roland pads are used, even after changing the trigger
parameter settings. For fullest expression in performance,
we recommend the exclusive use of Roland pads.
6. Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] to make the setting.
