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-6V, there may be incompatibilities between pads and trigger inputs, which may prevent you from being able to perform on some pads.

*1: By using an optional cable (the PCS-31) or standard insert cable, you can use two pads to a single trigger input jack. In this case, the rim sounds of “Trigger Input 5 (TOM2)” and “Trigger Input 7 (TOM 3)” become unavailable. For more on how to make the necessary connections, refer to p. 21.
