Roland TD-10 Drums User Manual


 
If you are using pads made by anoth-
er manufacturer
If when using pads made by another manufacturer, they do
not perform satisfactorily, you will need to adjust the trigger
parameters. Refer to Basic settings for the trigger parame-
ters (BASIC) (p. 109) in the Advanced Use, and make the
needed changes or settings.
Specific pads are too loud or
too soft
If you are listening in monaural, use the MASTER L
(MONO) jack ONLY, and do not insert a plug into the R
jack.
Are each of the [GROUP FADERS] sliders in an appropri-
ate position?
Move all the faders to the same volume,then re-adjust for
the desired balance.
Rim shots do not sound
Are you using a PD-7, PD-9 or PD-120 pad?
Rim shots cannot be played on other pads.
Are you using a monaural cable to connect the pad with
the TD-10?
If so, only the head portion will trigger sound. Use the
stereo cable included with the PD-7, PD-9 or PD-120.
Are the trigger type settings correct?
Rim shots do not sound cor-
rectly
When playing on the PD-7 or PD-9, strike the rim and
head simultaneously. Simply striking the rim alone will
not produce sound.
Are the trigger type settings correct?
If you are using a PD-120 as the snare, check the Rim
Sensitivity setting (p.110).
Volume is low when you play
using brushes
Since the impact of a brush is lower than the impact of a
stick, you need to use a drum kit that has trigger settings
geared for brushes, one displaying a symbol such as the
following in the lower right of the KIT display page.
fig.00-053
Strike location is not detected.
Are the trigger type settings correct?

adjusted correctly?

(Roland)?
Strike location can be detected only for trigger number 2
(SNARE) and trigger number 10 (RIDE).
