Roland TD-10 Drums User Manual


 
Editing an acoustic drum kit (V-EDIT)
V-EDIT and EDIT
Editing procedure for an acoustic snare, kick and tom drums will differ depending on the type of
instrument and the TRIGGER INPUT jack that you are using.
1.V-EDIT lets you use all the editing capability of the TD-10
2.EDIT lets you edit only the two parameters Pitch and Decay
VERY IMPORTANT!! When V-EDIT can be used
“V-EDIT” will appear ONLY when using trigger inputs 1–6 and an instrument from instrument
groups “V-KICK”, “V-SNARE”, or “V-TOM.” (A “V-EDIT” symbol will appear in the setting page.)
When an instrument from another instrument group is assigned, only Pitch and Decay can be edit-
ed. So if you assign a “V” type sound to an input other than 1-6, you cannot use the V-Edit parame-
ters.
For details on assigning instruments, refer to p. 136.
The parameters available in V-EDIT will differ depending on the trigger input and instrument
selected. The following parameters can be edited.
Trigger Shell Material Shell Depth Head Type Head Tuning Muffling Strainer Adj.

materials: wood, steel and brass.
