When used as a sound module, the TD-6 can receive on up to
six of the sixteen MIDI channels (16 channels in GM mode).
Sound modules like the TD-6 which can receive multiple MIDI
channels simultaneously to play different sounds on each
channel are called “multi-timbral sound modules.”
How the Internal Sequencer Operates
A sequencer is an electronic instrument used for recording and
playback of performances. The TD-6 features such a sequencer
function. The TD-6 comes with 150 different built-in performance
songs (Preset songs) which can be used for drum practice and
other purposes. You can also create your own songs.
fig.07-004.e
For playback, the performance data that has been recorded to
the sequencer is sent to the sound module, which produces
the sound. The data for each of the sequencer’s parts causes
the corresponding part in the internal sound module to be
played. When performance data is recorded, the performance
data from pads and MIDI keyboards is sent to the sequencer;
the data recorded here is then sent to the sound module for
playback.
When recording drum kit and percussion set performance, the
performance data is sent to the drum kit part and percussion
part according to the setting of channel 10 priority (SETUP/
MIDI COMMON/CH10Priorty; p. 99).
When using the TD-6 as a GM sound module, the internal
sequencer is disabled.
