Using the TD-6 As a General MIDI Sound
Module
The TD-6 features GM mode, allowing it to play back GM scores (music data
for GM sound generators) from an External Sequencer. The TD-6 has a
function that lets you mute only the drum sounds in GM mode, making this
a very useful feature. For details, refer to “Switch to the GM (General MIDI)
Mode (GM Mode)” (p. 100) and “MIDI Messages Stop Function for Specific
Parts in GM (General MIDI) Mode (GM PART)” (p. 103).
The TD-6 can also be used
as a sound module along
with MIDI keyboards and
MIDI sequencers (p. 107).
When Using the TD-6 as a GM Sound Module (p. 100)
• The TD-6 functions as a 16-part multi-timbre sound module.
• The internal sequencer is disabled.
• Drum kit parts cannot be played using MIDI messages sent from an
external device. They can be played only by playing pads connected
to the TD-6.
