Roland - TM-6 PRO Trigger Module

The Professional Way to Trigger Sounds and Complement Your Acoustic Drums Onstage
Finding the perfect drum sound for your gig while meeting the demands of the music, your fellow musicians, the mix engineer and the changing acoustics of each venue is a constant challenge. The Roland TM-6 PRO can provide the solution. The TM-6 PRO is a dedicated drum module with 500 one-shot drum samples, onboard editable V-Drums sounds, the ability to load your own WAV sounds, and inputs for six triggers or pads, with up to six direct outputs.

Choose the Perfect Tone for Your Drumming Style from 500 Premium Sampled Sounds
Every drummer feels the pressure when the clock is ticking, the band are waiting and your kit doesn't sound quite right. The TM-6 PRO lets you walk into any gig and find your sound fast. Designed for hybrid drumming, this trigger module is preloaded with 500 new sampled sounds, from electronic and processed tones to acoustic drum sounds and sound elements.

Drummers who dart between jobs can switch between a libraries of sounds in seconds. Try electronic sounds including fat-synth kick, vintage drum machines, claps and SFX, alongside processed sounds like compressed snares and kicks that cut through onstage. Get the best of the old-school, with exceptional-quality preloaded acoustic drum sounds, recorded at world-renowned studios like Real World and Rockfield. Enhance the attack of your snare and bring low-end power to your kick using sound elements. It's all at your fingertips.

Recreate Signature Drum Tones from Studio Recordings
Whether you're playing in a covers band or touring with a major artist, pro drummers will often be asked to recreate the signature drum tone from a famous studio recording and your reputation depends on getting it right. Rely on the TM-6 PRO to nail any tone, thanks to the user sample feature that lets you import the exact sounds from the recorded track via SD card and play them using your acoustic kit. And that's just the start.

When your bandleader asks you for a fresh take, it's easy to customise those imported audio samples, combining them with the module's built-in sounds, adding powerful onboard effects or switching and mixing layered samples according to the strength of your stick-hits.
