About Songs

The TD-6’s sequencer organizes music into six parts. The Drum Kit part is used to record/play back what is played on the pads. Additionally, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 are the four backing instrument parts (backing parts), and there is another Percussion part.

The collective performance of these six parts is called a song.

Sequencer cannot be used in GM mode (p. 100).

Preset (Internal) Songs (Songs 1–150)

What the various parts should play has already been recorded. The performances in Preset patterns cannot be changed, deleted, or recorded. These songs come in handy for backing during drum practice, or for live performances.

Drum performances in the Preset songs (except song #1 “DRUMS”) are recorded to the percussion part.

Using Preset Songs

You cannot save any changes you make to the settings in preset songs. While you can make temporary changes to these settings, they revert to the settings already selected for that preset song when another song is selected.

Furthermore, preset songs cannot be edited or recorded.

•The following appears in the display when you attempt to change the settings. Press [EXIT] to dismiss the message.

If you want to change, edit, or record any preset song settings, copy them to a user song (p. 90). When user song settings are altered, the changes are saved automatically.
