I recently saw a great thread where one of our member's (thanks Aaron "The Source") provided a great explanation of the easy way to tether a TMC-6 to the TD-20 for additional inputs. I wanted to produce a sticky on the subject as it does come up from time to time.
Please keep in mind that while you can trigger the sounds through the TMC-6 and control most basic functions such as decay, reverb, etc., you cannot access COSM features with these triggered sounds such as shell depth, material, etc.
I hope this helps those of you who search for this information.
I will leave this thread open so that questions and additional help can be added.

Simplified Instructions for expanding the TD-20 with a TMC-6
You are now in the "Percussion Set Edit" screen.
You will need to do this for each head and rim of each pad you want to use. When you're done you can press "List" in the "percussion set edit" screen to choose what instrument you wish to assign to your pads head or rim.
You can also change the settings for each instruments Volume, Panning, Pitch, Decay, Reverb, Chorus, and CC.
All editing for the pads plugged into your TMC-6 is now done on the TD-20 (except for trigger settings like sens. threshold etc.). Hope this helps you out!

Simplified Instructions for expanding the TD-20 with a TMC-6
- Make sure the pads plugged into your TMC-6 are set to channel 11.
- On the TMC-6, set the head and rim notes to notes that are logical and easy to remember (ie head:40 and rim:41). Do this for boths pads (different notes for each of course).
- Press "Pattern" on the TD-20, then scroll up using the jogwheel until "Part" appears above the F2 key (if it isn't already there of course ).
- Press F2 (Part), then F3 (Perc).
- Select the kit you want then press F5 to edit.
You are now in the "Percussion Set Edit" screen.
- Press F2 (edit).
- Go to "perc note" and select the note you assigned to the head or rim (depending on what you want to use).
