Roland TM-6 PRO Professional Trigger Module

Roland TM-6 PRO Professional Trigger Module

The Roland TM-6 PRO is a professional-grade trigger module built for drummers who demand studio-quality hybrid percussion. With six 1/4-inch TRS trigger inputs (expandable to 12 with optional Y-cables), 268 V-Drums sounds, 500 factory-loaded user samples from world-renowned studios, and a full 8-channel USB audio interface, the TM-6 PRO is the most capable acoustic-electronic hybrid brain Roland has ever made.

A 128×64 graphic LCD display and three real-time Sound Modify knobs give instant, tactile control over volume, pitch, decay, and effects on the fly — no deep menu diving required. The four configurable direct outputs can be assigned as four mono, two stereo, six mono, or three stereo channels, giving front-of-house engineers the routing flexibility they expect. Backing tracks and click track playback directly from SD card rounds out the live performance toolkit.

Under the hood, the TM-6 PRO features a comprehensive DSP engine: per-pad EQ, Transient control, Compressor, 30 types of multi-effects, five reverb types, and master EQ/compressor for the main bus. SD card support allows import of 16- or 24-bit WAV and MP3 files up to 1,000 samples. USB Hi-Speed Audio/MIDI connectivity at up to 96 kHz makes the TM-6 PRO a direct studio recording interface as well as a stage workhorse.
