About Songs
The TD-6’s sequencer organizes music into six parts. The
Drum Kit part is used to record/play back what is played on
the pads. Additionally, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 are the
four backing instrument parts (backing parts), and there is
another Percussion part.
The collective performance of these six parts is called a song.
Sequencer cannot be used in GM mode (p. 100).
Preset (Internal) Songs (Songs 1–150)
What the various parts should play has already been
recorded. The performances in Preset patterns cannot be
changed, deleted, or recorded. These songs come in handy for
backing during drum practice, or for live performances.
Drum performances in the Preset songs (except song #1
“DRUMS”) are recorded to the percussion part.
Using Preset Songs
You cannot save any changes you make to the settings in
preset songs. While you can make temporary changes to these
settings, they revert to the settings already selected for that
preset song when another song is selected.
Furthermore, preset songs cannot be edited or recorded.
The following appears in the display when you attempt to
change the settings. Press [EXIT] to dismiss the message.
The following is displayed when the [REC ] is pressed
with a Preset song selected and select a new user song
automatically.
If you want to change, edit, or record any preset song settings,
copy them to a user song (p. 90). When user song settings are
altered, the changes are saved automatically.
User Songs (Songs 151–250)
These are songs that can be recorded and edited. You can
record performances exactly as they are played using the pads
or an external MIDI keyboard (Realtime Recording; p. 93).
Changes in User song settings are saved automatically.
