IMPORTANT!!! Make sure you have the two inputs set to trigger the appropriate sounds for each kit

o Ride Input HEAD = Ride Bow Sound o Ride Input RIM = Ride Edge Sound o Other Input HEAD = Ride Bell Sound

o Other Input RIM = Ride Edge Sound (Same as Ride RIM input)

Notes for using the Smartrigger CY-16R Dual Zone Ride Cymbal:

Use the included Y cable on the module end of the ride’s stereo cable. Plug the black TIP plug into the any input (other than #2) and the orange RING plug into any other input (other than #2).

Alternately, you can use input #2 only which is a stereo input (the only one on the TMC- 6) without the Y cable. Use the following settings if you connect the Ride to input #2. NOTE: You MUST set the pad type to P12 in order to achieve the Bow and Rim sounds, you will have to adjust the Head and Rim settings independently.
