The Roland TM-6 PRO is a professional trigger module designed to seamlessly expand your acoustic drum kit with premium electronic sounds, making it the perfect companion for live performance and studio work.

A Professional Trigger Module to Expand Your Acoustic Kit

As a working drummer, every performance comes with different challenges. You need to quickly achieve the perfect drum sound to satisfy the audience, fellow musicians, sound engineers, and clients. With an acoustic kit alone, this isn't always easy—room acoustics vary, every engineer mixes differently, and you may be asked to recreate iconic studio drum sounds or learn songs on the spot.

The TM-6 PRO makes those challenges disappear by adding powerful, reliable triggering capabilities to your favorite acoustic kit. Compact, intelligent, and easy to operate, it provides instant access to an enormous range of professional drum sounds on any stage.

Choose from 500 Premium Drum Sounds

Every drummer has experienced the pressure of running out of time while searching for the perfect drum sound. The TM-6 PRO eliminates that problem with 500 factory-loaded premium percussion samples, ranging from modern electronic sounds to beautifully recorded acoustic drums.

Switch between completely different sound libraries in seconds:

• Deep electronic kick drums
• Vintage drum machine sounds
• Claps and electronic effects
• Punchy compressed snares and kicks
• Premium acoustic drum samples recorded at the legendary Real World Studios and Rockfield Studios

Enhance your acoustic drums by adding extra attack to your snare, powerful sub frequencies to your kick drum, or layering multiple sounds together.

Natural V-Drums Expressiveness

For drummers entering the world of hybrid drumming, the TM-6 PRO includes many of Roland's renowned V-Drumssounds, delivering exceptionally natural dynamics and expression.

For example, you can achieve realistic hi-hat performance by connecting a compatible V-Hi-Hat controller to the module while maintaining familiar acoustic playing techniques.

Recreate Iconic Studio Drum Sounds

Whether you're performing with a tribute band or backing a major artist, you're often expected to reproduce famous studio drum sounds live.

The TM-6 PRO makes this simple.

Load your own WAV samples from an SD card and trigger them directly from your acoustic drums. Better yet, you can:

• Layer imported samples with internal sounds
• Edit and shape each sound
• Add professional onboard effects
• Switch or blend layered sounds depending on how hard you strike the drum

The Perfect Gateway to Hybrid Drumming

As your setup evolves, the TM-6 PRO grows with you.

It features:

• 6 trigger inputs, expandable to 12 using optional Y-cables
• Compatibility with Roland pads, triggers, and pedals
• Ultra-fast triggering with excellent sensitivity

For maximum flexibility, the module also includes:

• Four direct outputs (configurable as four mono or two stereo outputs)
• Up to six mono or three stereo outputs when the master outputs are assigned as direct outputs
• Independent routing for click tracks and backing tracks

Customize every output exactly the way your performance requires.

Fast Sound Editing During Performance

Live shows rarely go exactly as planned.

The TM-6 PRO is built for quick adjustments without interrupting your performance.

Three dedicated Sound Modify knobs provide instant access to:

• Volume
• Pitch
• Decay
• Pitch range (-2 to +2 octaves)

By pressing the Control Group button, those same knobs can instantly control:

• Transient Attack
• Transient Release
• Multi-effects (MFX) parameters

Each MFX type automatically assigns the most useful controls, making editing fast and intuitive.

Instant Visual Feedback

On a dark stage, clear visual feedback is essential.

The TM-6 PRO features responsive LEDs that instantly indicate trigger activity on all connected pads and triggers.

The Sound Modify controls are also illuminated, allowing you to monitor parameter values at a glance and stay focused on your performance.

Trigger Backing Tracks and Click Tracks

Modern drummers increasingly rely on backing tracks and click tracks.

The TM-6 PRO allows you to trigger WAV playback directly from an SD card during rehearsals or live shows.

Playback and click tracks can be imported together and triggered simultaneously.

Routing options include:

• Click track to headphones only
• Click track shared with the band
• Independent playback routing through direct outputs

A Powerful Studio Companion

The TM-6 PRO is equally at home in the studio.

Through a single USB connection, it functions as both:

• A MIDI trigger interface
• A multichannel USB audio interface

It supports:

• Up to 8 audio inputs
• Up to 8 audio outputs
• Sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz
• MIDI In/Out

Each USB audio channel can be assigned independently to the Phones, Master, or Direct outputs.

This allows you to:

• Send backing tracks from your computer to any output
• Record individual trigger outputs directly into your DAW
• Integrate the TM-6 PRO seamlessly into any professional home or project studio setup.
