Roland TMC-6 Drum Trigger to MIDI Converter
The TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter makes it easy to play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers from an acoustic drum set, or expand the sound palette of electronic drum sets. This affordable device uses the lightning-fast triggering technology of Roland’s V-Drums for reliable triggering and super-accurate dynamics—making it easy for acoustic drummers to tap into electronic sounds of their favorite MIDI module, or for V-Drums owners to expand their trigger inputs.
Drum Trigger to MIDI Converter with 6 Trigger Inputs and 3-Way Triggering Support
Want to tap into the wide range of electronic percussion effects and samples that Roland's V-Drum sound modules and other devices offer, but don't want to give up your acoustic kit? The TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter is the perfect - and affordable - solution! Utilizing the super-fast triggering technology that has been one of the highlights of the V-Drums, the TMC-6 lets you play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers from an acoustic drum set. If you play electronic drums, you can use the TMC-6 to expand the sound palette of your electronic drum set.
The 6 trigger inputs on the TMC-6 are compatible with all Roland drum pads or acoustic drum triggers. The device is actually capable of many of the features of the V-Drums. It supports separate head/rim shot triggering of PD-120/80R V-Pads and the 3-way triggering capabilities of CY-15R and CY-12R/C V-Cymbals. But perhaps the coolest thing about the TMC-6 is that it goes beyond the sounds offered in the Roland percussion modules. You can use it to trigger sounds from synths like the Fantom, the XV-5080, or any number of synths and sound modules.
