The TP-7 can be used with the TX-6 for multitrack mixdown, allowing you to record a mix directly from the TX-6 into the TP-7. The two devices work together over a wired connection.

Connecting the devices

The manual references a mixdown workflow with the TX-6. To use them together, connect the TX-6's output to the TP-7's input using the appropriate cable. Make sure both devices are powered off before connecting, then power them on after the cable is in place.

Mixdown with TX-6

The TP-7 includes a dedicated mixdown mode designed for use with the TX-6. In this workflow:

  • The TX-6 handles mixing and routing of your audio sources
  • The TP-7 records the resulting stereo or multitrack output
  • You can control mix volumes per channel via MIDI CC 7 on channels 1 through 6
  • Input gain for channels 1 through 3 can be adjusted via MIDI CC 9

MIDI control

The TP-7 can receive MIDI messages that map directly to TX-6 channel functions:

  • CC 7 (channels 1-6) controls mix volume
  • CC 9 (channels 1-3) controls input gain
  • CC 120 (channels 1-6) handles mute on/off

For full details on the mixdown workflow and input configuration, refer to the mixdown with TX-6 section of the official TP-7 guide at teenage.engineering.
