Roland SPD-20 Drums User Manual


 
Setting MIDI Parameters
Since MIDI parameters can be set independently for each pad bank (A and B), each pad can control two
external sound modules.
1
In the Play mode, use PATCH/VALUE [-] or [+] to select the Patch
(199) for which you wish to make settings.
2
Press [EDIT] to enter the Edit mode.
3
Use [SELECT] to select the MIDI parameter group.
4
Use [ ] or [ ] to select the parameter you wish to set.
5
Press [BANK A/B] to select the pad bank you wish to set.
6
Strike the pad you wish to set.
If you have a PD-7, PD-9, or PD-120 connected, you can make independent settings to the pad and
rim. When making MIDI parameter settings to the rim, play a rim shot to call up the trigger settings.
7
Use PATCH/VALUE [-] or [+] to set the parameter value.
The value will change more rapidly if you press [+] while holding [-].
If you press [ALL/ENTER] at this point, the currently displayed value will be set for all
pads. If you are making settings for an internal pad, this will apply to all 8 internal pads.
If you are making settings for an external pad, this will apply to the 4 external pads and
rims.
You can strike the pad to hear the edited sound. If you have layered two sounds, it is
probably a good idea to press [LAYER] to turn Layer off.
8
To set parameters for the other pad bank, repeat steps 57.
9
If you wish to set the same parameters for other pads, repeat steps
67. If you wish to set different parameters for the other pads,
repeat steps 48.
10
Press [EDIT] once again to return to the Play mode.
Layer
When Layer is on, two note messages will be transmitted each time you strike a pad. By making appro-
priate MIDI Velocity Curve settings for each pad bank (A and B), you can create effects such as velocity
crossfades for external sound modules.
