What is played on the pads or on an external MIDI keyboard can be recorded (Realtime Recording).

The performance of the hi-hat control pedal is also recorded.

•Sequencer cannot be used in GM mode (p. 99).

•The amount that can be recorded to the TD-6V is limited. Please keep in mind that even though there are 100 user songs, the amount of memory available will be determined by how much data is recorded into each song.

•Recording the hi-hat control pedal performance data consumes a large amount of memory. Make the settings related to recording performance data in “PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin)” (SETUP/MIDI COMMON/ PdlDataThin; p. 99).

•You can check the amount of available memory in “AvailMemory (Available Memory)” (SETUP/UTILITY/ AvailMemory; p. 78).
