Other
Connections
Connection
Cords
The
TR-606
is
provided with
a low
noise con-
nection cord
termirtaling
in
a
'^
inch phone jack
lor connection
with the Drumatix output
at one
end and with
an RCA connection
with an adap-
ter to a Vi inch phone jack lor
amplilication
connection at the other end.
The % inch
phone jack adapter
will be used for most of
amplilication connections.
The
RCA jack offers access
to most component
hi
f
I
systems,
a significant advantage
when the
TR-606
is
used for
practice or
composition at
home
without
the inconvenience ol
transport-
ing and setting up
stage
amplification.
Connect
the
TR-606 output
with an Aux.
or Tape input,
avoiding
the
Phono
inputs with
their special
internal
equalization. The
TR-606 will appear
at one speaker
only unless a 'Y' cable
or junc-
tion box
such
as
the
BOSS
J-5
is
used,
or
unless
your
hi-fi has a master
Mono/Stereo
selector.
Important
Note:
Begin
with
the
volume level
on
your
TR-606 set at Zero
and the
hi-fi at
normal or
lower than
normal
levels.
By gradual-
ly
raising the
TR-606 level and
using caution
as
different
programs and
instrument
levels are
selected
you
can
easily avoid
high level
signals
that
might
otherwise damage
sensitive
hi-fi
equipment.
The
RCA jack
also offers
instant
access to
many
multi-track
recorders
and consoles,
a
distinct
advantage
considering
ttie
unique func-
tional
abilities of
the
TR 606
Drumatix.
TRIGGER
OUTputs
The
TR-606
Rhythm
Composer provides
two
independent,
programmable
TRIGGER OUT-
to
allow interfacing
with synthesizers or
sequencers.
Each
trigger signal
is
a positive
15
Volt, 20
millisecond pulse suitable
for
activat-
ing either the Trigger or Gate
inputs
of
the
most
major brands of
equipment.
A synthesizer
such as the Roland SH-09
may
be
gated
to process
its
own
oscillators. By combin-
ing a mono
synthesizer such
as
the SH-09
with a
sequencer such
as one of
the
Roland CSQ
digital
sequencers,
the TR 606 TRIGGERS will
start
and/or
step
the
sequencer/synttiesizer
combination for programmed
musical lines. The
TRIGGERS
may
also
be
used to control the
rhythm
and rate of the Arpeggio sections
of
the
Roland
JUPITER
polyphonic
synthesizers.
The two TRIGGER
OUT coirespond
to
rhythms programmed into
tfie Low
Tom or
High Tom
positions, rhythms
determined
by
the Track/Program selector and programming.
These instruments may be used simultaneously
with their
TRIGGER OUT or program-
med
specifically to provide with TRIGGER
OUTPUT rhythms, silencing
tfie
instruments
using Ihejndividual INSTRUMENT MIX
LEVEL
©controls.
Figure

illustrates
various
interfacing
applica-
tions
for
the
TRIGGER OUT.
Pedal
Switching
The
TR-606
is
equipped
with a 54
inch Pedal
Switch
jack for connection
with an optional
Roland DP-2
Damper Pedal.
This
jack provides
with a remote
control option for the RUN/
STOP
button without defeating the
function
of
the
front panel
RUN/STOP button itselt.
