Trigger Inputs and the Pads You Can Use

Although you can use previous model pads, kick trigger units, and other such devices with the TD-6, there may be incompatibilities between pads and trigger inputs, which may prevent you from being able to perform on some pads.

■Trigger Input Functions

The following shows the available trigger input functions.

Use the cable provided with the pad to connect the pad to the TD-6. The rim sound becomes unavailable when you use a monaural cable to connect a pad that is capable of playing rim shots and chokes.

*1: By using an optional cable (the PCS-31) or standard insert cable, you can use two pads to a single trigger input jack. When using the cable provided with the pad to connect a single pad, use “Trigger Input 5 (TOM2)” and “Trigger Input 7 (TOM 3)”. For more on how to make the necessary connections, refer to p. 21.
