TM-6 PRO: Specifying the Trigger Type for a Pad/Trigger

Most all current Roland pads/triggers are compatible with the TM-6PRO. For optimum trigger results, it's best to match the Trigger Type with the type of pad/trigger that's connected. Doing so optimizes the sensitivity settings and trigger efficiency for the pad/trigger. Here's how to specify the Trigger Type:

1. 1. Press the [TRIG] button.
   2. Use the cursor buttons to select "BANK," and then press the [ENTER] button.
      The TRIGGER BANK screen appears.
      
      
      • H&R: When connecting one drum trigger to one TRIGGER IN jack (normal setting). The head and the rim share the same trigger type. Also, the trigger type is shown as for the rim.
      • PADx2: When connecting two drum triggers to one TRIGGER IN jack. Specify the trigger type for the head and for the rim.
