TD-6V: Percussion Sound Module
Features
The first thing you’ll notice about the TD-6V Percussion Sound Module is the new black look and cool blue LCD screen. Like the original, this 64-voice module serves up 1,024 of Roland’s best drum and percussion sounds and 262 backing instruments—but with newly created drum kits and patterns in the latest music styles. Dual-trigger tom inputs allow for rim shots on toms* (using Roland PD-8 pads), while large, luminous buttons make the TD-6V very easy to use.
* TD-6V Tom inputs are single trigger with PD-85 or similar mesh pads
