Power Supply ● Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system). ● Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Operations common to all aspects of operating the TD-10 are covered below. ■ Saving your settings For operations within the TD-10, there is no procedure for “ saving settings. ” When you modify the value of a setting, the new value is automatically saved as soon as you make the change.
■ How to modify settings fig.00-005e [INC] and [DEC] (referred to in this manual as [INC/DEC]) and the VALUE dial are both used to modify the values of settings. The two methods have the following advantages. [INC/DEC] • Each time [INC] is pressed, the value increases.
■ Selecting pads from the TD-10 fr ont panel fig.00-008 The trigger select buttons ([TRIG SELECT]) are used when you wish to select a sound for editing from the front panel of the TD-10, rather than by striking a pad as explained above. You can use these buttons to select a trigger number and edit the settings.
Quick Start Quick Star t 21.
This section explains the connections and settings that you must make before playing. The explana- tions here are given, assuming that the TD-10 has its factory settings. The TD-10 provides a function for restoring the factory settings. Refer to “Restoring the factory settings (INI- TIALIZE)” on p.
Connect your audio system or amp To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. fig.00-010e Connect the rear panel MASTER L(MONO) and R jacks to your audio system or amps.
Connecting pads and pedals Using the cables provided, connect your pads, hi-hat control pedals and kick trigger units as shown in the above diagram. Special jacks are provided for the kick (KICK) and snare (SNARE), so make the correct connections to these jacks.
If you are using a PD-7 or PD-9, move the polarity switch located on the back of the pad to the “-(Roland)” position. When using a KD-7, either position will do. fig.00-012 To have the most expressive performance, we recommend the use of the Roland pads (PD-5, PD-7, PD-9, PD- 100, PD-120) and kick trigger units (KD-7).
T urning on the power Once the connections have been completed (p. 23, 24), turn on power to your various devices in the order spec- ified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
4 Turn on the power of the connected amp or audio system. 5 Raise the [GROUP FADERS] sliders to the maximum position, and adjust [MASTER] ([PHONES]) to the position shown in the diagram. fig.00-014a 6 While striking [PREVIEW] with your finger, adjust the volume of the connected amp or audio sys- tem.
Listening to the internal demo playback The TD-10 contains demo songs that demonstrate its sounds and expressive capabilities. The demo song is a “ rainbow ” of 4 short songs, arranged as a medley. It plays back in “ loop ” (repeating) mode, yet you can also listen, starting from any of 4 positions, accessed as follows: fig.
Specify the pads that the TD-10 will use In order for the TD-10 to accurately receive trigger signals from each pad, you must specify the type of pad that is connected to each TRIGGER INPUT jack.
■ If you have purchased the PD-5, PD-7, PD-9, PD-100 or PD-120 individually Make the following settings for each pad. fig.00-023 1 Press [SETUP], press [F1 (TRIG)], and then press [F1 (BANK)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-017 This screen shows a list of pad models that are specified for each TRIGGER INPUT jack.
● Adjusting the head tension For these pads, adjustments are required in order to regularize the tension of the head. Also, the ten- sion of the head may change when the pad has been used for a long period. If this occurs, use the following procedure to make adjustments as necessary.
6 On the head of the PD-100 or PD-120, accurately strike a location approximately 1 inch (3 cm) from the tuning bolt. fig.00-027e The indicator in the lower right of the display will indicate how far off the adjustment is. 7 Use a tuning key (optional) to turn the all tuning bolt so that the indicator reaches the position shown in the diagram.
■ Using triggers on an acoustic drum to play the TD-10 Set the trigger type to the drum trigger setting, and if notes are not sounded accurately, you ’ ll need to make changes in the “ advanced ” mode of this section. For details, refer to “ Detailed settings for the trigger parameters (ADVNCD) ” (p.
Check the settings This completes the settings. Strike the pads/drums and verify that the appropriate instrument sounds correctly. If not, check the settings once again, and refer to “ Troubleshooting connections and settings ” on p.
Concerning the per formance & expressiveness of the pads This section introduces various performance functions that will help you perform more expressively on the pads. Some of these playing techniques and functions are unique to the TD-10, so please be sure to read this section in order take full advantage of the TD-10 ’ s capabilities.
■ Positional sensing This function simulates movement across the snare drum head or ride cymbal surface. A PD-7, PD- 9, PD-100 or PD-120 can be used when connected to trigger jacks number 2 or 10.
TD-10 operating pr ocedure This section explains basic operation of the TD-10. Please try out each of these procedures. ■ Adjusting the volume Adjusting the volume balance For the kick drum, snare drum and hi-hat, use the [GROUP FADERS] sliders to adjust the volume.
■ Selecting a drum kit fig.00-036 1 Press [KIT]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-037 Each drum kit of the TD-10 is a collection of settings for the instrument assigned to each pad, set- tings for the room and microphones, mixer, effects and other parameters.
■ Adjusting the sensitivity of a pad You may wish to adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal taste. In this sec- tion we will explain the easiest way to adjust the TD-10 ’ s sensitivity in order to get the best correla- tion between your playing velocity (strength) and the response and volume of the sound.
■ Master equalizer This is the master equalizer that is applied to the sound output from the MASTER OUT jacks. It adjusts the balance of the low, mid, and high frequency ranges. Let ’ s try adjusting the GAIN (the amount of boost). fig.00-043 1 Press [KIT], and then press [F4 (MAS EQ)].
■ Effect on/off If you wish to compare your sounds “ with ” or “ without ” ambiance, individual compressors & equalizers, or digital effects, here they can each be turned on/off for the entire kit. fig.00-040 1 Press [KIT], and then press [F3 (FX SW)].
■ Help function You can select a keyword for a specific operation and instantly view an explanation or the relative setting page. For example if you wish to make settings for a function using a foot switch, select the “ FOOT SWITCH ” keyword and press the button to access the appropriate setting page.
About expansion boards Expansion boards (optional) are cards that allow you to upgrade the system and add new instru- ments and drum kits. * Sound expansion boards for the Roland JV/XP series cannot be used. For a better performance 43 Quick Start The bottom panel of the TD-10 has a slot that allows expan- sion boards to be installed.
À pr opos des car tes d ’ extension (French language for Canadian Safety Standard) Les cartes d ’ extension (optionnelles) sont des cartes qui vous permettent d ’ augmenter la puissance de votre syst è me et d ’ ajouter de nouveaux instruments ainsi que des batteries.
T r oubleshooting connections and settings This section will discuss points to check if you experience problems while making basic settings, and how to solve those that occur easily when you are using electronic drums for the first time. Before checking or modifying connections, be sure to turn off the power of all devices.
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.
How sounds are created on the V -drums The TD-10 uses a completely new method for generating sounds called Variable Drum Modeling. The concept of this method is to “ model ” the important parts or “ character ” that makes a drum sound the way it does.
No.36: 70 ’ s Rock drum kit This is a rock drum kit with a deep and “ fat ” sound. Until now, this type of “ fatness ” could never be created or edited in drum modules or samplers.
3 Press [INST], then [F2 (EDIT)], and then press [F1 (SHELL)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-058 4 Strike the pad that you are using as the snare. The snare settings display page will appear. In this page you can select the materials and depth of the drum shell.
No.37: Brush Kit This is a kit for playing with brushes, something that was also not possible with any previous elec- tronic drum system. Compared with stick playing, brush playing uses an extremely delicate trigger signal, so we have provided a kit with special trigger settings.
3 Press [F3 (FX SW)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-066 An indication of “ ON ” appears above each button [F1] – [F4], indicating that all effects are being used. 4 Press [F1] and [F4]. Ambiance and Effect will be turned off. fig.00-067 How does it sound? You will notice that the sound has suddenly lost its sense of depth.
No.38: Electr onic drum kit With this kit we can reproduce the electronic drums that were popular in the early 1980 ’ s. Previous drum sound modules did not provide for the creation and editing of the unique parameters of an electronic drum.
3 Press [INST], and then press [F2 (EDIT)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-072 4 Strike the pad that is being used as the tom. The tom setting screen will appear. 5 Press [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Bend. ” fig.00-073 6 While using [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to increase the pitch bend setting, strike the tom pad.
In this section we will start with drum kit number 36, and take you through the process of creating an entirely different kit. Kit number 36 is a distinctive kit intended for rock, but we will turn this into a sharper and more natural-sounding drum kit that might be suitable for fusion, etc.
[INST]: Creating drum sounds The settings in this section are for the drums themselves, and they are concerned with the funda- mental elements that determine the character of the sound. Via easy operations you can proceed through the process of selecting an instrument, deciding its material and shape, and adjust the tun- ing, etc.
■ Modify the material and depth of the body By changing the material of the instrument body and listening to the difference, you can find the sound that you want. This is an editing method that is only possible on the TD-10. It ’ s just like choosing between a variety of real snare drums.
4 Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to change the material of the body. In this example, let ’ s change the setting from “ Steel ” to “ Wood. ” Of the three types, this will pro- duce the warmest sound. fig.00-084 This completes our selection of the body material.
■ Change the material and tuning of the head Here, let ’ s modify the type and tuning of the snare drum head. fig.00-088 1 Press [INST], then press [F2 (EDIT)], and then press [F2 (HEAD)]. 2 Strike the pad being used for the snare. The snare setting page appears.
This completes the head material choice. Next we ’ ll tune of the head. 5 Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Head Tuning. ” fig.00-091 6 Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to modify the tuning. Here we will change the setting from “ -30 ” to “ 0.
■ Adjust the muffling (muting) and snare strainer tension You can add muffling to the snare drum or adjust the tension of the snare strainer to reduce unwant- ed overtones or resonances, creating a tighter sound. You can even turn the snares off! fig.
4 Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to modify the setting. For this example, select “ Dougnuts1. ” The sound will become somewhat more muted. fig.00-095 This completes the muffling settings. Next we will adjust the tension of the strainer. 5 Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Strainer Adj.
[STUDIO]: Adjusting the acoustics of the r oom One very important element that affects the overall sound of a drum kit is the environment in which the drums are placed. The same drums are capable of producing a very different sound, depending on whether they are played in a conventional studio, or in a glass-walled room.
■ Decide “ where ” the drums are played You can choose locations for your drums from different types of rooms, a cave, a bathroom or even the beach. You make this selection by “ seeing ” the icon that represents the actual acoustical environ- ment.
■ Change the size of the room You can modify the “ ambience ” space by selecting one of five different room sizes. fig.00-103a 1 Press [STUDIO], and then press [F2 (ROOM)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-103 2 Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Room Size.
[CONTROL ROOM]: Adding finishing touches to the sound ■ Using the equalizer to modify the sound If you want the selected instrument to sound a little different, such as “ a bit brighter ” or “ a bit lighter, ” etc., you can use the equalizer to make adjustments.
In this example, let ’ s assume that we want to make the sound of the snare stand out. fig.00-107 1 Press [CONTROL ROOM], press [F3 (EQ)], and then press [F4 (HIGH)] The following screen will appear: fig.00-108 2 Strike the pad being used for the snare.
■ Adjusting the volume balance of the instruments Now that we ’ ve used the equalizer to boost the high range, the snare sounds brighter. With this change, however,the snare might stand out a bit too much. Let ’ s lower the volume to correct the bal- ance.
This section will highlight things that are possible only with electronic musical instruments such as the TD-10. Per form with the on-board sequencer The TD-10 contains a sequencer that can record and play back accompaniment tracks and/or drum performances.
■ Play the pads along with a preset pattern When you have found a preset pattern that you like, you can play along with that pattern. While sounding the click, adjust the volume balance of the drums, backing parts, and the click. fig.00-117 1 Adjust the [BACKING] and [CLICK] [GROUP FADERS] lower than the other sliders.
Drum Kit Chain — Selecting drum kits in the desired order You can choose the order in which drum kits will be selected. fig.00-120 1 Press [CHAIN], and then press [F1 (C.EDIT)]. The following screen will appear: fig.00-121 In this screen, you can create a list to specify the order in which the drum kits will be selected.
5 Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to select the kit that will be selected second. 6 In the same way, make settings for the third and subsequent kits. fig.00-122 To delete an unwanted kit from a step, use [CURSOR] in the “CHAIN” page to select the kit, and then press [F2 (DELETE)].
Using a foot switch to select kits When an FS-5U foot switch (optional) is connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack, you can use it to select kits, patterns, or as a play/stop button for patterns (p. 120). fig.00-123e The function that the foot switch will have can be selected by the “Mode” setting in the “FOOT SWITCH” display (p.
Using headphones to hear the click sound If you want to listen to a click sound while you play (for example during practice or a live perfor- mance), you can make settings so that the click is heard only in the headphones, and is not output from the OUTPUT jacks (MASTER).
Using the TD-10 as a MIDI sound module The TD-10 can also be used as a sound module for MIDI keyboards or sequencer. When used as a MIDI sound module, the percussion group (p. 126) can be used so that 72 types of instrument can be accessed simultaneously in addition to the sounds that are assigned to the 12 trigger inputs (pads).
Advanced Use 75 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10.
The TD-10 is a drum trigger interface and sound module, providing virtual reproduction of an actu- al drum set, allowing total control over all aspects of drum sound creation. When electronic drums were first developed, the technology available was not as advanced as it is today, so sounds were not really comparable with acoustic drums.
How to select pads When making settings, you can specify the pad in one of the following two ways. ■ Using pads to select the pad/sound for editing Strike the head (the head and rim simultaneously) of the pad. The setting display for the pad you struck will appear.
Selecting a kit Press [KIT], and the basic display page will appear. In this page, you can use [INC/DEC],the VALUE dial or a foot switch (optional) to select drum kits (p. 120). fig.02-01 Area 1 in the above figure indicates whether the selected kit contains settings for performance with sticks or for brushes.
Making settings for brush per formance For each kit you can specify whether sticks or brushes will be used. When the trigger setting is set to “brush,” pad sen- sitivity will be higher. Each kit has settings for sticks and for brushes, and the brush settings can be selected as follows.
Here you can edit the instruments.(i.e. snare drum kick etc.) The TD-10 provides separate parameters for editing acoustic or electronic drum sounds. Selecting an instrument On the TD-10, each sound,is referred to as an “instrument” (INST). You’ll begin the sound-creating procedure by select- ing the desired instruments.
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.
■ Changing the shell depth Changing the depth of the drum shell will change the tone. With the snare drum, the depth can be changed over 39 steps, from 1 to 20 inches! Making the shell deeper will increase the richness of the low range, and make the sound more “fat”.
■ Muffling settings (muting) You can literally apply tape or “rings” to dampen the over- tones. fig.04-08 Instruments that can be edited Snare, Kick, Tom Procedure 1. Press [INST]-[F2 (EDIT)]-[F3 (MUFFLE)]. The “INST EDIT” page will appear. 2.
Editing an electr onic drum kit (V -EDIT) Electronic drum sounds consist of “tone” and “noise.” These instruments can be assigned only to specific trigger inputs. For details on instrument assignments, refer to p. 136. * With electronic drums, selecting an instrument for the head will assign the same instrument to the rim.
Editing a TR-808/909 (V -EDIT) This simulates a Roland “TR-808” or “TR-909” Rhythm Composer. Only instruments specified for each trigger input can be selected. For details on instrument assignments, refer to p. 136. * For instruments in the TR-808/909 groups, selecting an instrument for the head will assigns the same instrument for the rim.
Editing hi-hat, cymbals and percussion Only pitch and decay can be edited for instruments that are assigned to trigger inputs 7–12. Even for trigger inputs 1-6, only pitch and decay can be edited if the assigned instru- ment is not V-EDIT capable. fig.
Here is where you can virtually change the acoustics of the room in which you are playing the drums. The parameters available here let you select actual room sizes and wall mate- rials to easily get your desired sound. You can also change the positions of the “room” microphones.
Parameters Ambience Mic Positions: Low, High Low: Of t en re f er red to as “floor mikes,” picking up low frequencies of the room, producing a warmer charac- ter. High: Often referred to as “overhead mikes” capturing the high frequencies and accenting the brightness of the room.
● Selecting the type of mike Procedure 1. Press [STUDIO]-[F1 (MIC)]. The “MIC” page will appear. 2. Strike the pad that you wish to edit. The setting page for the pad you struck appears. 3. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Mic Type. ” 4.
The most important aspect of finalizing the sound in record- ing or live performances depends on the mixing console. In the Control Room, you’ll find a complete 12-channel mixer with 10 individual compressors and EQ’s and digital effects, finalizing your sound in a CD-quality state.
■ Selecting output assignments To change the output destination for the sound of each pad note that the vertical lines indicate the TRIGGER INPUT number, and the horizontal lines indicate the OUTPUT choices. The black dots indicate the OUTPUT assignment corresponding to each sound.
■ Customizing the tone (Equalizer) Here you can adjust the high and low frequencies balance for the instrument assigned to each pad. (TRIGGERS 1-10 only) * This setting is not available for the AUX1,2 trigger inputs. fig.06-06 Procedure 1. Press [CONTROL ROOM]-[F3 (EQ)].
Settings for the entire drum kit ■ Adjusting effect Return level You can adjust the effect Return level for the drum kit, per- cussion group, and backing parts. Procedure 1. Press [CONTROL ROOM]-[F4 (EFFECT)]-[F2 (SNDRTN)]. The “EFFECT GROUP” page will appear.
■ Editing the effects Here’s how to set the parameters for each effect type. It’s best to use Ambience to create the basic overall sound of the drum kit, and then use the digital effects to enhance specific sounds. To adjust the depth for each instrument, refer to p.
Parameters for Chorus ➝ Delay 1, 2 Rate: 0.1 – 10.0(Hz) Adjust the modulation frequency of the chorus. Higher set- tings produce faster modulation. Depth: 0 – 127 Adjust the modulation depth of the chorus. Higher settings produce a stronger effect.
Parameters for Flying 3D-Delay 1, 2 Delay Time: 10 – 1200 (ms) Adjust the time from the original sound until the delay is heard. Feedback Level: 0 – 127 Adjust the number of times that the delay repeateds. Rotation: -150 – 0 – +150 (R.P.M) (steps of 3) Specify the number of rotations per minute.
The TD-10’s sequencer consists of four parts (like 4 tracks). The Drum part is used to record/ play back performance from the pads or an external MIDI controller. There are three other parts for melodic instruments: Part 1, Part 2 and the Bass part.
Playback functions ■ Selecting a pattern Procedure 1. Press [PATTERN]. 2. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to select a pattern. About the screen display fig.07-02 1. Currently selected pattern number 2. Currently playing measure number. 3. Indicates the beat.
Tap: This function is a great performance tool! For example if you specify “Tap” for a pattern which contains a melody line and assign this pattern to a pad, you can play the notes of the melody in order each time you strike the pad.
■ Selecting the click sound You have a choice of sixteen sounds including a human voice! Procedure 1. Press [CLICK]-[F2 (INST)]. The “CLICK” page will appear. 2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Inst. ” 3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
Recording Performance on the pads or on an external MIDI keyboard can be recorded. On the TD-10, your performance will be recorded exactly as you play it, including hi-hat control pedal movements and Positional Sensing. * Brush swish/sweeping and choke (p.
5. Specify the recording method fig.07-09 Procedure 1. Press [PATTERN]-[REC]. The “REC STANDBY” page will appear. 2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Rec Mode.
■ Correcting timing as you record (Quantize) Quantize is a function that corrects inaccuracies of timing while you record. Specify the basic note value before you begin recording,and your performance will be quantized automatically to the set interval.
■ Erasing a pattern This function erases ONLY the performance data; other set- tings (such as the number of measures and the time signa- ture) stay the same. fig.07-12e Procedure 1. Press [PATTERN]-[F3 (EDIT)]-[F1 (ERASE)]. The “ERASE PATTERN” page will appear.
■ Copying selected measures of a pattern You can copy selected measures of a part or pattern. Unlike copying an entire pattern, settings such as instrument and part volume etc. will not be copied; only the performance data will be copied. fig.07-15 Procedure 1.
3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the settings. 4. Press [F4 (CLEAR)] A confirmation display will appear. 5. Press [F4 (EXEC)]and the contents of the selected mea- sures will be cleared. (Press [F1 (CANCEL)] to return to the previous page without executing the operation.

Basic settings for the trig- ger parameters (BASIC) When you are using pads made by other manufacturers, try adjusting the following parameters. ● Sensitivity Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad response. Procedure 1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)].
EXP1, EXP2: Compared to Linear, a wider volume change will occur for stronger hits. fig.08-06be LOG1, LOG2: Compared to Linear, wider volume change will occur for softer hits. fig.08-06ce Spline: Variation in striking force will produce extreme change.
Detailed settings for the trig- ger parameters (ADVNCD) The following parameters (ADVANCED EDIT) are automat- ically set to the most efficient values for each pad when you select the Trigger Type (p. 108), and don’t require adjust- ment, except if you experience any of the problems that are discussed in the explanation of each parameter.
● Mask Time (MaskTime) On a kick pad, for example, if the beater bounces back and strikes the pad a second time immediately after the intended stroke - (or,like with acoustic drums if you leave the bass drum beater against the head) this can cause a single strike to “double trigger”.
6. Mask Time Mainly for bass drums so please refer to the explanation above. 7. Crosstalk Same principle as with using pads as as explained above. Once again, press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)] and the setting page will appear.
Saving data to a memor y card An optional memory card (M-512E) can be used to save TD- 10 settings and sequencer data. * The Roland M-512E is the ONLY memory card which can be used. ● About the Protect switch When the protect switch of the M-512E is turned on, it will not be possible to write data from the TD-10 to the memory card.
Loading data fr om a memor y card Data saved on a memory card can be loaded into the TD-10. Procedure 1. Press [SETUP]-[F4 (UTIL)]-[F2 (LOAD)]. The “LOAD from CARD” page will appear. 2. Insert the memory card into the MEMORY CARD slot. 3. Press [F4 (LOAD)].
Selecting kits in the desired order (Drum Kit Chain) ■ Specifying a Drum Kit Chain This allows you to step through the drum kits of your choice and in the order you want. (via the INC/DEC buttons or footswitch operation). TD-10 lets you create and store 16 dif- ferent chains of up to 32 steps each.
Copying You can copy drum kits,instruments, mixer & effect settings etc. to the destination of your choice. However, doing so will erase (overwrite) the data that was in the new destination. So be careful before you perform this operation. * Some display pages do not allow copy.
Getting help The TD-10 comes with a built in “help page” using key - words to select various functions, and a “jump” mode to take you to that setting page instantly. Procedure 1. Press [TOOL]-[F4 (HELP)]. A list of help keywords (“HELP INDEX”) will appear.
By changing the function of controllers or the way in which they are used, you can perform a variety of convenient operations. This opens up some very interesting performance possibilities. Using pads to play patterns (Pad Pattern) You can make settings so that striking a pad will playback a previously selected pattern.
* If you do not want to trigger instrument sounds assigned to the pads, press [CONTROL ROOM]-[F1 (MIXER)]-[F1 (VOLUME)], and set the volumes of AUX 1 and AUX 2 to “0.” * If the “Mode” setting is “KIT SELECT” or “PATTERN SEL,” striking the rim of the pad will have the same function as pressing [DEC].
There are many possibilities when using MIDI, such as: 1. Use an external sequencer to save/load drum kits, pattern data etc. 2. Use the pads to play external instruments As the TD-10 is a pad-to-MIDI interface, using external mod- ules, samplers etc.
■ Setting the Device ID —T ransmitting saved data to two or more TD-10 units The setting described here is necessary only when you wish to transmit separate data to two or more TD-10 units at the same time. Do not change this setting in any other case.
* For the hi-hat, make the setting only for the note number for the Open Hi-hat (default setting is 46 (A#2)). This setting will adjust the closed and pedal sounds as well. (Example) If you decrease the Open Hi-hat note number by “ 2,” the Close and Pedal settings will also decrease by “2.
MIDI settings for the entire TD-10 ■ Setting the MIDI channels for each Part For each part, you can specify the channel on which the TD- 10 will receive and transmit MIDI messages. Procedure 1. Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]. The “MIDI” page will appear.
Using the TD-10 as a sound module As shown in the following diagram, use a MIDI cable to con- nect the TD-10’s MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT connector of an external sequencer,keyboard or pad controller (such as SPD- 11). fig.11-01ae The settings discussed here are necessary only when using the TD-10 as a MIDI sound module.
■ Using the percussion group The percussion group is used only when playing the TD-10 from an external MIDI controller, keyboard or sequencer. fig.11-05e The sounds in the percussion groups have their own inde- pendent note number “map” in order to be played from an external MIDI controller, and can be changed if you want.
Function buttons When the cursor is located at the instrument name, you can press [F1 (LIST)] to access the instrument list page. Press [F2 (EDIT)] to access the instrument edit page. For details on edit functions, refer to “Percussion group editing.
■ Changing the kit number that is selected by a program change You can freely select the correspondence between program changes and drum kits, so that (for example) drum kit 10 could be selected when program change number 5 is received.
■ Messages for positional sens- ing (snare drum and ride cym- bal only) The TD-10 uses control change messages to indicate the position a snare pad or ride cymbal pad was hit.
Procedure 1. Press [PATTERN]-[F2 (FUNC)]-[F1 (GLOBAL)]. The “PATTERN GLOBAL” page will appear. 2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “ Sync Mode. ” 3. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to select “ External ” or “ Auto. ” 4. Begin playback on the transmitting device (master).

This section outlines points to check if you experience prob- lems, and what to do about them. For matters related to very basic settings, refer to the “Quick Start,” “Troubleshooting connections and settings.” Pr oblems with the overall sound ● Does not sound right.
● Rotating [MASTER] does not change the volume The [MASTER] knob adjusts the volume level from the MASTER jacks, and does not affect the volume of the output from the headphones or the DIRECT 1, 2, 3 outputs.
● Hi-hat control pedal (FD-7) does not operate correctly The hi-hat control pedal was not detected correctly at power-on. Turn off the power. Then turn on the power once again, and do not operate the hi-hat control pedal (FD-7) until the drum kit display appears.
Display-related pr oblems ● T rigger indicators light on their own If a monitor speaker or the like is sounding at a high volume nearby a pad, the vibration can sometimes be detected by the pad as a trigger signal. If this occurs, either move the speaker, or change the angle of the pad.
The instruments that can be assigned to each trigger are as follows. ● : The instrument can be assigned and V-EDIT is possible ▲ : The instrument can be assigned, but V-EDIT is not possible ✕ : .
If you wish to restore all internal settings to the factory pre- set values use the Initialize operation explained below. All internal settings will be lost when you perform the Initialize operation, so if necessary, save your data to a memory card or on an external MIDI device before initializing.
This section lists the messages (error messages) that the TD- 10 produces and explains the meaning of each message, giv- ing you the appropriate action to take. If the TD-10 is not able to operate correctly or if an incorrect operation was per- formed, a message window will appear in the screen.
MIDI Buffer Full ! A large amount of MIDI messages were received in a short time, and could not be processed completely. Make sure that a problem has not occurred with the MIDI cable connection or with your external MIDI device.
MIDI means “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. By using MIDI you can play and/or control multiple instru- ments from a single MIDI controller, keyboard or sequencer, and is a world-wide standard, allowing communication between MIDI equipped instruments, no matter who manu- factured them.
How the sequencer operates A sequencer is an electronic musical device that records and plays back performance data, meaning the note you play, how long it is held (gate time) and velocity with which you play, and various controller functions. The TD-10 contains a built-in sequencer with 50 preset patterns containing pre- programmed musical data.

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.
EDIT Editing is modifying a sound, effect, or musical data in the sequencer. Effects The TD-10 has a variety of digital effects such as reverb, delay, flanger, chorus, and phaser.
MIDI Soft Thru The MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the TD-10 normally functions as MIDI OUT. When the MIDI Soft Thru setting is turned on, messages received at MIDI IN will be re-transmit- ted from the OUT/THRU connector. System exclusive messages will not be transmitted.
Rim Shot A “rim shot” refers to striking the rim of a drum with a stick at the same time as hitting the head. Rim shots played with the TD-10 will trigger just the instrument assigned to the rim.
Here are the screen displays that will appear as a result of operations on the TD-10, in order of the buttons that are pressed. The page on which the main explanation for each display appears is listed, so you can refer to the appropriate page for details.
