Product Information

The TR-6S is a also a high-quality USB audio/MIDI interface, perfect for mobile or minimal production setups.

At the initial powerup following an update, the message "Updating Panel" sometimes appears on the display.

Please note that when you execute "ALL" or execute "KIT" or "PTN," then depending on the selected parameter, created presets and the settings on the TR-6S are returned to their factory-default state.

Vital compressors and EQs are at your fingertips, along with lush reverb, delay, and modulation effects. Push your creative boundaries with filters, LFOs, and wild new effects that incite sonic mayhem. Please verify the version number "1.51" with the procedure described in "How to tell the version" part of this document. The sound of today's music owes a lot to the classic step-sequencer—particularly the "TR-REC" variety found in early Roland drum machines. The TR-6S employs the same tried-and-true approach, enhanced with realtime recording and modern features like sub-steps for ratcheted parts and motion recording for rhythms that move.

The TR-6S employs the same tried-and-true approach, enhanced with realtime recording and modern features like sub-steps for ratcheted parts and motion recording for rhythms that move. The maximum length of a single audio file that can be imported is approximately 180 seconds (at 44.1 kHz).

Drive is the least extreme of all the choices, and comes with a two-band EQ that is both pre- and post-gain. This effect works well on nearly all of the instruments. Crusher, as you’d expect is really a bitcrusher and has a built-in filter. This one works great on hi-hats and other high frequency material. Next, Saturator is slightly less extreme than the Drive effect and has even more control.Never turn off the TR-6S's power while the update is in progress. Otherwise the system program or the TR-6S itself may be destroyed. The TR-6S features the ability to set one of the eight Variations as a Fill Pattern which can be triggered manually or can be set to go off every 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 measures. However, editing these Fill Patterns can be a bit confusing using the standard technique, and many users seem to think they aren’t editable at all.
