IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the
following:
Power Supply
Maintenance
301
401a
•
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
•
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
302
•
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
402
•
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
307
•
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Repairs and Data
452
Placement
•
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret
that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
351
•
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
•
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
•
Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
Memory Backup
501b
•
This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s
memory circuits while the main power is off. When this
battery becomes weak, the message shown below will
appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the
battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to
avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery
replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the attached “Information” leaflet.
354a
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
•
When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
356
•
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
add1
•
To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
add2
•
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases)
on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry,
soft cloth.

Additional Precautions
551
•
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device
(e.g., a sequencer).
552
•
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
•
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
•
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
•
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
558a
•
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
558c
•
Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially at night and when using headphones. Although
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by
switching to mesh heads.
559a
•
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
562
•
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

General MIDI (
) System
General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the
limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the General MIDI
standard bear the General MIDI logo (
).
Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI
sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

About the Pads
Playing the Pads
■ Pad Head Shots and Rim Shots
When you perform a head shot, the head instrument is played; rim shots
produce the sound of the rim instrument.
To play a rim shot, you must strike both the head and the rim of the pad
simultaneously.
When using rim shots on
the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-
105, PD-120 or PD-125,
connect the pad to
TRIGGER INPUT 2
(SNARE).
PD-7, PD-8, PD-9, PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, PD-125:
Both head and rim shots are available.
PD-6, PD-80, PD-100, RP-2:
Only head shots are available

• The cross stick is also
referred to as a “closed
rim shot.”
■ Cross Stick
When you perform a cross stick, the rim instrument is played.
When using the PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, or PD-125 to play the cross
stick, be sure that you only strike the rim (outer edge) of the pad. Placing your
hand on the head (center area) of the pad prevents the cross stick sound from
being played properly.

(Gate Time)
For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will

Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in

When using an external MIDI device to play TD-6V drum kits,
if overlapping note numbers are received, the instrument
assigned to the pad connected to the lowest-numbered trigger
input is sounded.
At the factory settings, the Gate Time setting is set to the
minimum value, since a drum sound module will likely not
make use of it. If a sound module received this data as it is
receiving a Note OFF message, the interval will be too short,
so most sounds will not be played (or it may sound like barely

Adjusting the Trigger Signal
Detection Time (Scan Time)
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ
slightly depending on the characteristics of each pad or
acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup), you may notice that
identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at different
volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “SCAN TIME” so
that your velocity of playing can be detected more precisely.
As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be
You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the
Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger signals
if they occur within the specified amount of time after the
previous trigger signal was received. Retrigger Cancel detects
the attenuation of the trigger signal level, and triggers the
sound after internally determining which trigger signals were
actually generated when the head was struck, while weeding
out the other false trigger signals that need not trigger a
sound.

While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel”
value until retriggering no longer occurs.
fig.02-022_50
Making the settings
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually
raise the Scan Time value from 0 msec, until the resulting
volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try both
soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume changes
appropriately.
Retrig Cancel (Retrigger Cancel): 1–16
Double Triggering Prevention
(Mask Time)
fig.02-020_50
On a kick pad, for example, if the beater bounces back and
strikes the pad a second time immediately after the intended
stroke—or, like with acoustic drums if you leave the bass
drum beater against the head—it can cause a single strike to
“double trigger” (two sounds instead of the intended one).
The Mask Time setting helps to prevent such problems. Once
a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals occurring
within the specified “MASKTIME” (0–64 msec) will be
ignored.
Scan Time: 0–4.0 (ms) (0.1ms steps)

Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get rim sounds.

cause the rim instrument to sound as well when the head is
struck.

About Songs and the Song

About Songs
The TD-6V’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. 99).
Preset (Internal) Songs (Songs 1–170)
User Songs (Songs 171–270)
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.
These are songs that can be recorded and edited. You can
record performances exactly as they are played using the pads
or an external MIDI keyboard (Realtime Recording; p. 92).
Changes in User song settings are saved automatically.
Drum performances in the Preset songs (except song #1
“DRUMS”) are recorded to the percussion part.

have the previous sound stop and the subsequent sound start
playing (ON) or have the two sounds layered (OFF).
Quick Play starts playback of the pattern from the first note

beginning before it is next played back.
However, you cannot select this during recording of a song or
when a new User song is selected by pressing [SHIFT] +

About MIDI
MIDI can send numerous streams of performance data over a single
MIDI cable. This is made possible by MIDI channels. MIDI channels
allow messages intended for a given instrument to be distinguished
from messages intended for another instrument. In some ways,
MIDI channels are similar to television channels. By changing
channels on a television you can view programs from many
different broadcast stations. This is because the television set has
thus been directed to selectively display only the information being
transmitted by a particular station. In the same way, MIDI also
allows a device to select the information intended for that device
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard
that allows performance data and other information to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and
computers. MIDI With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI devices
that are equipped with MIDI connectors, you can play
multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple
MIDI instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings
to change automatically to match the performance as the song
progresses, and more.
While using only pads with the TD-6V, there is no need to
have any detailed knowledge of MIDI. For those who wish to
use MIDI keyboards to record patterns on the TD-6V, use it as
a sound module with external sequencers, or learn the TD-6V
at a more advanced level, the following explains such matters
related to MIDI.

MIDI Connectors
The TD-6V has the following two types of MIDI connectors.
fig.07-001
The TV is set to the channel of the station
you wish to watch.
There are sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Set the receiving
device so that it will receive only the channel that it needs to receive.
Example:
Set the TD-6V to send Channel 1 and Channel 2, then set
sound module A to receive only Channel 1 and sound module
B only Channel 2. In this way, sound module A plays the
guitar part and sound module B plays the bass part.
MIDI IN Connector Function
This receives MIDI messages transmitted from an external
MIDI device. When it receives MIDI messages, the TD-6V
performs a variety of actions such as playing sounds and
switching drum kits and part instruments.

For playback, the performance data that has been recorded to
the sequencer is sent to the sound module, which produces
the sound. The data for each of the sequencer’s parts causes
the corresponding part in the internal sound module to be

data from pads and MIDI keyboards is sent to the sequencer;
the data recorded here is then sent to the sound module for

When triggering/playing a song that is set to “LOOP” or
“ONE SHOT” mode, if you trigger another song (from a
pad), also in “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT” mode then the last
song played will have priority. Don't forget that some
“songs” are very short, a few notes, or even one chord. So
“sudden” stops can be caused by accidently triggering one
of these short songs. Always check your Pad Pattern
settings.
Are you making the rim shot (p. 36) and cross
