Roland TR-6S settings to check on | TR-6S Tutorial and Walkthrough

- On my tutorial on setting up the TR-6S with a DAW, I had a question about getting into the settings of the TR-6S in the first place - so I thought it would be a good idea to go through some other settings you should check on and set to your preference. These are the ones that, at least for me, directly affect my use of the TR-6S as an instrument to jam on, and as a Drum Machine to use with my computer when I produce music.

The pastebin link in the description has a list of my note settings for MIDI if you want to use the TR-6S as a MIDI sound module. Do you want me to do a run down of any other bits of the TR-6S? Let me know if you do! :)
ahh yes!!! finally some useful information instead of the same old basics!! thank you so much for this. gave a thumbs up.
Thanks for this, especially the MIDI section - got my 6S jamming Euclidian rhythms now!
These are very useful tips, thanks a lot!
Man Thanks for figuring all this out 4 us!
Thanks for your work.
Got it at last bravo 👍🏾
Useful video man!! Keep em coming
Thanks! I’m not sure what my next TR-6S video would be - I might do another bit of improv/performing with it
@@afrohamurai yeah that would be good!! I think a dive into drum sound design on the unit might be fun. From what i hear its actually quite deep
Just finished recording some of it - hopefully I get it all edited and uploaded during next week :D
@@afrohamurai ace!
Actually just uploaded it! Let me know if it’s useful 👍🏾
Very nice bro! Keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
@@afrohamurai one question bro, if I have my Roland connected to my laptop via usb, can i connect a midi keyboard also?? I mean, using in ableton, the midi controller, and the Roland tr6s at the same time
Thanks 😎
this video helped me more than the users manual hahahahaha thanks
Hey there. Thank you for all the helpful videos.
Have you ever searched for a way to add subtle Velocity variations (apart from the Accent function) ? As in typing in various Velocities for different steps in order to humanize it a bit? Is it even possible on this machine? Altering the velocity of individual steps?
Cheers bruv
my BD on a new tr-6s is playing at C1. The others accordingly.
Your videos on the 6s have been a heaven's send.
Is there a way to boost the memory on this thing? I imported 2 drumkits to the device via SD card. Ran out of space.
Not that I’ve seen, no - it’s a shame it doesn’t read it directly from the SD card
@@afrohamurai Thanks for the response. Yes, definitely a shame you can't read directly from the card.
I can't seem to find how you enable reading the sd card with the computer
I want to connect the tr6s via midi with my organelle to sync the tempo but the tr6s is triggering notes on my organelle. Is there a way to only use tempo sync?
Hi there, I take it there is a way of saving the tunes you've made right? Or is this what you mean by "kit & pattern"?
So the drum patterns you make are saved as patterns, and the drum sounds you make are saved as kits
@@afrohamurai ah I see so how do you save the track you've made? I've just ordered one today so I haven't got hands on yet, it looks a little confusing at the moment
@@benaskrensfriend4945 if you wanted to save just the drum pattern you make, you’d save the pattern. If you wanted to save the drum sounds as well, make sure to save the pattern and the kit and it’ll do that for you too 👍🏾
@@afrohamurai oh man it's here today, I'm having a few problems straight away 🤦♂️ it seems like whatever I load it will play its own beat even if I highlight say 5 hand claps in a row or 1 on its own it doesn't seem to change the beat or anything of it? Seems to just play its own tune whatever I load?
I realise that is probably very simple or I am just missing a point here haha
do you know if the TR8S samples are compatible wiv the TR6S???
I mean, if the samples are saved on the SD card you can re-import them on the TR-6S, but if you mean the built in sounds the TR-8S has they're already in the TR-6S
@@afrohamurai thank you, that makes sense .its just not made clear on the Roland site wots compatible n not .btw, keep up the great work!
Is there step probability, to dial in the chance that a step will be played. ( mute percentage). Or will it be implemented in a firmware upgrade. Even a volca drum has this, wonder why Roland can’t implement this?
I got no idea on that - It definitely isn’t anywhere in the TR-6Ss documentation. It’s weird because the TR-06 (the Boutique 606) has probability chance in it. The only solution I’ve had is to work with probability in Ableton and sequence it there
@@afrohamurai I'm looking at the TR Editor from Roland, and the instruments do have probability there, but I don't see it on the device itself.
Could it be powered via USB power supply?
Yes, you can! It should also work with power packs as long as they don’t stop supplying power while it’s running.
@@afrohamurai thanks
What's going on with this video do you have to be a rocket science Professor to understand how to use this piece of equipment I have a Casio keyboard and it's not hard to work like this and the lights flash on the keys and it has really cool Jingles on it too I got it at Walmart for $20 and you don't have to understand it very much like this
I guess a $400 drum machine probably has more going on than a $20 keyboard…I dunno…🤷🏾♂️
@@afrohamurai my Casio has presets of Jingle Bells another Christmas songs you just push a button and it sounds like Christmas songs I think that's pretty fancy
