When using the TD-6 as a sound module, the sounds you select must be assigned to a SONG as the song parameters store which sounds you are using. Once you select a new User song and make the settings, you can then call up these settings just by selecting this song. You can also prevent recording or changes to the settings by setting “Song Lock” to “ON” (SONG/COMMON/Song Lock; p. 87).
