Roland TD-10 Drums User Manual


 
Functions and operations perfect for live performances
The group faders on the front panel let you make quick changes as needed during performance. You
can play drum kits in any desired order (Drum Kit Chain). The INC/DEC buttons are large enough
to be pressed with a drum stick. (Dont HIT them!) Another very useful function allows you to send
the click sound ONLY to the headphones if desired. An audio input (stereo) for custom monitoring
(MIX IN jack) is also provided.
Easy-operation sequencer is built-in
With easy, tape recorder-like operations, you can record or play back patterns. In addition to the
drums, three backing parts can be added for ensemble practice or for creating backing patterns via
MIDI keyboard, external sequencer etc.
* Brush swish/sweeping and choke cannot be recorded.
Previous models of pads can be used
Previous pad models (PD-5, PD-7, PD-9), kick trigger units (KD-5, KD-7) and the hi-hat control
pedal (FD-7) are all compatible. Also, the PD-7 and PD-9 allow positional sensing for the snare drum
and ride cymbal.
User Installable Expansion boards allow extended functionality
WAVE & SYSTEM EXPANSION BOARD TDW series will bring more instruments and drum kits to
the TD-10, and allows the system to be upgraded through Flash ROM. A memory card (M-512E) can
be used to store all kits and patterns for the TD-10.
Usable as a MIDI sound module
Percussion groups are provided so these sounds can be accessed via MIDI as with a dedicated mod-
ule, so in addition to sounds assigned to the 12 trigger inputs, a special note map for percussion
allows 72 types of instruments to be accessed simultaneously.
