The head and rim sounds of the single TRIGGER IN jack are played by separate pads. Head Rim Reference For details, refer to “Reference Manual” (PDF). Getting Ready About Performance Techniques The drum triggers that can be connected to the TM-6 PRO respond to a variety of performance techniques. Cymbal (CY series) Playing method Bow shot This is the most common performance technique of striking the surface of the cymbal. It plays the head sound. Pad (PD/PDX series) Playing method Explanation Head shot Hit only the head of the pad. Edge shot Head Rim shot Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously. Rim A sound (rim sound) different than the head shot will be heard. * Supported only by some sounds. Hi-hat (VH-10, VH-11) Playing method Open/closed Bow shot This is the performance technique of hitting the striking surface of the top hi-hat. The sound of the head is heard. Edge shot Edge sensor Edge sensor Choke play Roland logo Edge sensor Explanation The hi-hat tone changes smoothly and continuously from open to closed in response to how far the pedal is pressed. You can also play the foot closed sound (playing the hi-hat with the pedal completely pressed down) and foot splash sound (playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and then instantly opening it). * Supported only by instruments of the hi-hat category. Explanation This is the performance technique of hitting the edge (rim of the cymbal) with the shoulder portion of the stick. When the edge sensor area shown in the illustration is struck, the rim sound is heard. If you use your hand to choke (grasp) the edge sensor after striking the cymbal, the sound stops. When you strike the cymbal in the choked state, the sound is shorter. Footswitches That Can Be Connected You can use a footswitch to switch between kits or set lists. The following footswitches (sold separately) are supported. Footswitch Explanation FS-5U One or two of these footswitches can be connected. By using the appropriate connection cable (sold separately: stereo phone plug#phone plug x 2), two FS-5U footswitches can be connected. FS-6 This integrates two footswitches into a single unit. This is the performance technique of striking the edge (rim) of the top hi-hat with the shoulder portion of the stick. When the edge sensor area shown in the illustration is struck, the rim sound is heard. * Striking directly on the edge (i.e., exactly from the side) will not produce the correct sound. Strike as shown in the illustration. * Do not strike the bottom of the top hi-hat, and do not strike the bottom hi-hat. Doing so will cause malfunctions. 9 Trigger Settings (TRIG) Basic Procedure for Trigger Settings Specifying the Drum Trigger Type Here’s how to make trigger settings so that the signals from the drum triggers can be accurately processed by the TM-6 PRO. You can specify the type of drum trigger (trigger type) used by each trigger input of the trigger bank. Reference For details on the parameters that can be edited, refer to “Data List” (PDF). 1. Press the [TRIG] button. The TRIGGER SETUP screen appears. Trigger type The trigger type is a collection of various trigger parameters, adjusted to values that are appropriate for each drum trigger. To obtain the optimal settings for the drum trigger used with each trigger input, specify the model (trigger type) of drum trigger that’s connected. Trigger bank A trigger bank contains an entire set of settings for six triggers. You can create eight trigger banks. 2.

Here’s how to adjust the drum trigger’s sensitivity to specify the balance between the force of your strike and the loudness of the sound. Preventing unwanted triggering from the environment In some cases, a drum trigger might respond to live sound from acoustic drums or to sound from the monitor speakers. Either raise the drum trigger’s Threshold value, or make the following changes to your setup. 55 Move the drum trigger farther away from the speakers 55 Angle the drum trigger, and set it in a location that is less affected by the sound Since the TM-6 PRO is intended for use on stage, the drum trigger’s Threshold value is set relatively high by default. If you want to give priority to expression of soft strikes, lower the Threshold value while staying above the level at which unwanted triggering occurs. 1. Press the [TRIG] button. 2. Use the cursor buttons to select “PARAM,” and then press the [ENTER] button. 3. Press the [F1] or [F2] (THRESHOLD/SENS) button. The TRIGGER THRESHOLD screen appears. Input type Trigger type Threshold Sensitivity Volume change in response to strike strength 4. Select the drum trigger that you want to edit (p. 11). 5. Use cursor buttons to select “Threshold,” and use the [–] [+] buttons to adjust the sensitivity. Parameter Explanation Increase this value if the drum trigger is unwantedly triggered by ambient vibration. If this value is too high, soft strikes will not produce sound. You should set this to the lowest value that will not cause unintended triggering. Threshold In the illustration, ‘B’ will trigger a sound, but ‘A’ and ‘C’ will not. Threshold 6. Press the [EXIT] button several times to return to the KIT screen. 12 1. Access the TRIGGER THRESHOLD screen (p. 12). 2. Select the drum trigger that you want to edit (p. 11). 3.
