Roland SPD-20 Drums User Manual


 
How to Set Up the SPD-20 for Sequencing
If you wish to record and playback an SPD-20 performance on a MIDI sequencer or
computer, make the following settings. (these are the factory settings.)
For each pad you wish to use, set TX CH (p. 61) to the same channel as the Basic Channel.
For each pad you wish to use, set Note # (p. 62) for the pads so that they dont overlap.
For each pad you wish to use, set CURVE (p. 64) to Lnr.
For each pad you wish to use, set SENS (p. 64) to 8.
If you wish to record and playback Patch changes made during a performance, you will
need to make the following settings as well.
For only one pad, set a Program Number that matches the Patch number (p. 65).
If you wish to record and playback the pedal controller hi-hat sound (H01H17) layered
with another instrument, following setting will be necessary.
Assign a hi-hat cymbal for pedal control instrument (H01H17) to pad bank A.
If you assign these instruments to pad bank B, recording will be correct, but since the SPD-20 ignores
incoming note messages for pad bank B, the Pedal hi-hat will not be heard during playback.
