RolandTM-6 PRO Drum Trigger Module

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Roland’s TM-6 PRO adds sampled and V-Drums sounds to an acoustic kit for hybrid setups that need quick sound changes. Its 500 onboard samples span electronic, processed and acoustic drum sounds, while SD-card import lets you play user samples from the kit. Six trigger inputs accept expansion with pads, triggers and pedals; an optional Y-cable raises that to 12 pads. Three front-panel Sound Modify knobs provide immediate Volume, Pitch and Decay adjustment, and direct outputs let individual signals be routed for separate processing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing drum sounds quickly between songs, rehearsals or live sets.
- Recreating recorded drum sounds by importing user samples from an SD card.
- Hybrid acoustic-kit setups expanded with pads, triggers and pedals.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A 12-pad setup requires an optional Y-cable; the module has six trigger inputs on its own.
