The Roland TMC6 is a Trigger to MIDI Converter for acoustic drum kits, making it easy to play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers. The TMC-6 is an affordable device, using accurate and reliable V-Drums triggering technology that allows acoustic drummers to “play” electronic sounds from their favourite MIDI module, or for V-Drums owners to expand their trigger inputs.
When paired up with acoustic drum triggers like Roland's RT-Series, drummers can use the TMC-6 to trigger a sampler or other MIDI sound module from their acoustic set - even V-Drums TD-Series modules! Likewise, V-Drums owners can use the TMC-6 to add more pads and cymbals via the additional trigger inputs.
The TMC-6 includes six trigger inputs compatible with all Roland drum pads or acoustic drum triggers (an FD-8/6 Hi-Hat Control Pedal can also be connected). With Roland V-Drums technology built-in, they provide reliable and fast response, plus separate head/rim triggering with dual-trigger V-Pads like the PD-125BK/105BK/80R and 3-way triggering with the CY-15R and CY-12R/C V-Cymbals. Trigger settings can be stored to 12 User memory locations.
