Common Roland TR-6S Questions
How do I sync the TR-6S to my DAW using MIDI?
Connect the TR-6S to your computer via USB or MIDI cables, configure your DAW to send MIDI clock to the TR-6S, and set the TR-6S MIDI settings (MENU > SYSTEM > MIDI) to receive external clock.
Where are my saved patterns/kits stored and how do I back them up?
Patterns and kits are stored internally on the TR-6S's memory. To back them up, use the TR-6S's USB audio interface/MIDI mode to connect to a computer and use Roland's dedicated TR-6S backup software for transferring data.
How do I quickly create a new pattern on the TR-6S?
Press the PATTERN SELECT button, choose an empty pattern slot, then press the REC button followed by the START/STOP button to begin recording a new pattern live, or use the step sequencer.
Why is there no sound coming from my TR-6S?
Check the volume knob, headphone connection, and output routing in the SYSTEM menu; also ensure that individual instrument volumes within the kit are not muted or set too low, and that the correct kit is loaded.
How do I import my own samples into the TR-6S and assign them to instruments?
Connect the TR-6S to your computer via USB and copy WAV or AIFF samples into the "ROLAND" drive's "SAMPLE" folder, then access the "SAMPLE" folder through the TR-6S's instrument edit menu (INST EDIT) to assign the new samples.
