Button Explanation
[F1] (H&R) button
“ON”: The instruments for the
head and rim are selected
as a set. The recommended
instruments are selected as a
set, according to the instrument
that you select.
“OFF”: You can independently
specify the instrument for
different strike locations, such
as the head and the rim.
[F2] (B ON/OFF)
button
If this is “ON,” instrument B is
sounded in addition to the usual
instrument A. This lets you layer
the two instruments, or switch
between them depending on
the force of your strike.
[F3] (EDIT) button
This lets you make detailed
settings for the instrument.
The instrument parameters can
be edited independently for
instruments A and B.

to “Data List” (PDF).
5 Audio files that you created using your computer
can be loaded via an SD card into the TM-6 PRO, and
played as an instrument (p. 29).
5 Press the [EXIT] button several times to
return to the KIT screen.
Making detailed instrument settings
In the INST screen, you can press the [F3] (EDIT) button and

of each and how they will be played.

MEMO
5 You can use the sound modify knobs to adjust the
Volume, Pitch, and Decay (p. 26). The sound modify
knobs adjust the parameters for both instruments A
and B simultaneously.
5 In the INST EDIT screen, you can adjust instruments
A and B independently by holding down the [ENTER]
button and turning the sound modify knobs (Volume,
Pitch, and Decay of the layer that’s currently selected
by the cursor). At this time, the sound modify indicator
blinks.
INST SETUP screen
MEMO
5 By varying the strength of the strike, you can layer
the sounds of instruments A and B or switch between
them (LayerType).
5 Using Fixed Velocity
This makes the instrument sound at a fixed velocity
regardless of the strength of your strike. This is also
convenient if you’ve assigned a phrase to a user
sample and want it to play at a fixed volume.
5 Using Minimum Volume
This lets you increase the volume of soft strikes while
maintaining the volume of strong strikes. You can use
this to improve the audibility of a snare’s ghost notes
or a ride cymbal’s legato notes.
