Roland TD-6V Setting the Trigger Type for a Pad.
In any V-Drum module, it’s best to set the appropriate Trigger Type for the model of pad being used. For example, if you have a Roland PD-80R connected to the snare input on the TD-6, you want to make sure that a “PD80R” setting is assigned to that trigger input. This will optimize the function and response of the pad. Use the following steps to set the Trigger Type for a pad:
1. Hold SHIFT and press EDIT/SETUP.
2. Press the right CURSOR to select “TRIG BASIC.”
3. Press ENTER.
4. Hit the Pad to be set.
Note: If “NOTE CHASE” is set to Off in the TD-6, hitting each pad will not change the trigger input number in the display. You can select a trigger input without hitting a pad by holding SHIFT and pressing the Left(<) or Right(>) CURSOR buttons.
5. Press the + or – button to select the Trigger Type.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for any remaining pads if desired.
7. Press KIT when you’re finished. The settings are stored automatically.
NOTE: This is a global setting that will apply to all TD-6/V drum kits and will be retained in internal memory (unless a factory reset is performed).

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
