The Percussionist's Gateway To Electronic Sound!

Want to tap into the wide range of electronic percussion effects and samples that Roland's V-Drum sound modules and other devices offer, but don't want to give up your acoustic kit? The TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter is the perfect - and affordable - solution! Utilizing the super-fast triggering technology that has been one of the highlights of the V-Drums, the TMC-6 lets you play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers from an acoustic drum set. If you play electronic drums, you can use the TMC-6 to expand the sound palette of your electronic drum set.

The 6 trigger inputs on the TMC-6 are compatible with all Roland drum pads or acoustic drum triggers. The device is actually capable of many of the features of the V-Drums. It supports separate head/rim shot triggering of PD-120/80R V-Pads and the 3-way triggering capabilities of CY-15R and CY-12R/C V-Cymbals. But perhaps the coolest thing about the TMC-6 is that it goes beyond the sounds offered in the Roland percussion modules. You can use it to trigger sounds from synths like the Fantom, the XV-5080, or any number of synths and sound modules.

Features:
  • 6 Trigger inputs compatible with all Roland drum pads or acoustic drum triggers
  • Uses V-Drums triggering technology for reliable and ultra-fast triggering
  • Supports separate head/rim shot triggering of PD-120/80R V-Pads
  • Supports 3-way triggering capabilities of CY-15R and CY-12R/C V-Cymbals
  • Works with FD-7 Hi-Hat Control Pedal
  • Trigger chase On/Off function; 12 User memories for storing settings
  • Mounting plate included

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
