Acoustic Drum
This refers to conventional/acoustic drum sounds in the TD-
10, different of course from the Electronic sounds also avail-
able.
Ambience
This is the actual environment WHERE the drums are being
played, with the possibility to change the size of the room,
the wall materials and the positions of the ambience mikes.
Ambience Output Level
This refers to the total level of ambience for the entire drum
kit. It’s similar to the “return level” of effect units routed
back to a mixer.
Ambience Send Level
This refers to the individual send level of each instrument to
the ambience itself.
Append
This is an editing function of the TD-10’s sequencer, which
joins or combines two patterns into one pattern.
AUX1, 2 jacks
These are trigger input jacks for additional pads. Pads con-
nected to these jacks can be used as pad “switches” for vari-
ous functions as well as for triggering sounds, though the
equalizer and compressor cannot be used with sounds trig-
gered from these inputs.
Bulk Dump
This is a function that transmits various types of TD-10 data
from the MIDI OUT connector for storage or “back up” on
an external device. To do so, you will need a MIDI cable and
an external sequencer. This data can be only be used by the
TD-10.
Chain
Refer to “Drum Kit Chain.”
Choking
This is a performance technique whereby, after a PD-7 or
PD-9 has been hit, the edge of the pad is pinched by hand to
mute the decay (length) of the triggered sound. (similar to
choking a real cymbal by grabbing it)
Click
This is the sound the metronome makes. It can be used as a
“stand alone” tempo reference or when the sequencer is
recording or playing back.
Compressor
This is an effect unit found in all studios, used in controlling
volume peaks to maintain a desired listening level. It’s also
used to change the tonal character and is an important tool
in final sound finishing work.
Controller
Controllers are devices which are used to input MIDI perfor-
mance data, such as keyboards, guitar controllers, and pad
controllers. (SPD-11/PAD-80 etc.)
CONTROL ROOM
This is where you’ll find the mixing console, compressors,
EQ’s and digital effects. It’s one of the three key elements
(instrument, studio, control room) which make up the TD-
10’s operating structure.
Cursor
This is the highlighted portion in the display, indicating the
parameter being edited at that moment. Use the VALUE dial
or [INC/DEC] to adjust the highlighted parameter.
DEC Button
Each time this button is pressed, the on-screen value at the
cursor location will decrease in steps of 1, useful when mak-
ing fine adjustments. When making on/off settings, pressing
this button will turn the setting OFF. If making large
changes in the value of a setting,the VALUE dial is quicker.
Decay
This parameter is used in sound editing , adjusting the decay
time (length).
DIRECT 1, 2, 3
These jacks can be used for individual outputs (in stereo or
mono) for more “separation control” or when using external
effect devices, mixers etc. or for outputting just the ambience
alone. Digital effects are output only from the MASTER out-
puts.
Drum Kit
The combination of all settings for instruments, studio,and
control room are referred to as a drum kit.
Drum Kit Chain
You can use the Drum Kit Chain function to create a
sequence of up to 32 kits, allowing you use them in the
desired order or preference.
Drum Trigger
A drum trigger is a sensor attached directly on an acoustic
drum, sending a signal that will trigger sounds from the TD-
10.
