Roland TMC-6 Drum Trigger to MIDI Converter

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.

Great for Acoustic Drums

Trigger MIDI Modules

With the TMC-6 and an electronic percussion pad or acoustic set with triggers, you can play high-quality drum sounds from MIDI instruments like Roland’s Fantom workstation or XV-5080 module.

Expand Your V-Drums Kit

Use the TMC-6 to add more pads to your V-Drums kit, even if your module is out of trigger inputs. Now you can have those extra V-Cymbals and rack toms you’ve been dreaming about (compatible with drum modules that have a MIDI input).
