Combining with an External
MIDI Sequencer
Importing Sequence Data from an
External MIDI Device to the TD-6’s
Internal Sequencer
You can load data created on another sequencer from the
MIDI IN connector and record the data on the TD-6’s
sequencer, then use the data as a song. The backing part (Parts
1–4), percussion part, and drum kit part can be imported
simultaneously.
When TD-6’s instruments are changed from an external MIDI
device, the change is not recorded by the TD-6’s sequencer.
Use the TD-6 to make each part’s instrument settings.
For more on external MIDI device operations, refer to the
owner’s manuals for the devices you are using.
1.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN
connector of the TD-6 to the MIDI OUT
connector of the external MIDI device.
