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.

Placement

???Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

???This device may interfere with radio and television recep- tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

???Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehi- cle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

Maintenance

???For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

???Never use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

???Please be aware that all data contained in the unit???s mem- ory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a RAM card/DATA card, in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Memory Backup

???This unit contains a battery which powers the unit???s memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the bat- tery replaced, consult with your dealer, or qualified Roland service personnel.

???Backup Battery Low !???

Additional Precautions

???Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre- trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you peri- odically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit???s memory on a RAM card/DATA card, in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

???Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the con- tents of data that was stored on a RAM card/DATA card, in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), in the unit???s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

???Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit???s

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

???Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

???When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself???never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable???s inter- nal elements.

???A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

???To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit???s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head- phones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

???Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at night and when using headphones. Although the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when they're struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by switching to mesh heads.

???When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

???Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the fol- lowing precautions.

???Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor- mation on cable specifications, contact the manufactur- er of the cable.

Before Using Cards

Using DATA Cards

???New M-512E DATA cards do not yet have their battery installed. Before a DATA card can be used, you first need to insert the battery (refer to the instructions supplied with the DATA card).

???M-512E DATA cards are equipped with a PROTECT switch, which when turned on protects your data from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the switch be kept at the ON position, and switched to OFF only at the times you wish to write new data onto the card.

On Off

???When the battery in an M-512E DATA card is nearly worn out, the message below will be shown in the dis- play. Refer to the instructions supplied with the DATA card and promptly replace the battery to avoid the loss of the data on it.

???MEMORY CARD Battery Low ! Please Change !???

???Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in???until it is firmly in place.

???Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.

Concerning the performance & 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.

??? Rim shots

By using the rim, you can play two types of sound from one pad. This can be done with a PD-7, PD-

9 and PD-120.

fig.00-030e

Rim of the pad

To play a rim shot, you must strike both the head (center area) and the rim (outer edge) of the pad simultaneously. There will be no sound if you strike only the rim. When you play a rim shot, the instrument assigned to the rim will sound.

When specifying the rim during editing, you will also need to strike the head and rim simultaneously. NOTE Important: The rim function of the PD-120 ONLY works when connected to trigger input 2 (SNARE). If

you desire rim sounds for the toms etc., please use a PD-7 or PD-9.

??? Choking

This function simulates the muting of a cymbal and can be done with a PD-7 or PD-9.

fig.00-031

By striking a pad and then squeeze the rim portion of the pad while the note is still sounding, you can mute the sounding note; a performance technique known as choking.

Quick Start

fig.00-033

NOTE

MEMO

The TD-10 allows you to play using brushes when using a PD-100 or PD-120 only . You can use tech- niques such as swishing or sweeping to trigger that type of sound, as with an acoustic drum. When using brushes, you must select a drum kit that is intended for brush playing. Press [KIT], and select a kit that has a symbol like the following at the lower right of the kit name.

ONLY use nylon/plastic brushes. Metal brushes will damage the head and/or could pierce the fine mesh of the head itself.

Of the preset drum kits, numbers 7 and 37 are for brush playing.

Open hi-hat: Closed hi-hat: Pedalled closed: Pedalled open:

Strike the pad without pressing the pedal. Strike the pad while pressing the pedal.

Step on the pedal to trigger the ???foot close??? hi-hat.

Step on, and quickly release pedal to trigger the ???foot open??? hi-hat sound.

Quick Start

NOTE

Overall volume is an important element in adjusting the sensitivity of an electronic drum kit. In particular, if you are listening at a low volume you may feel that there is too little change in volume, so you might raise the sensitivity excessively without really needing to. Try playing at different volume levels (through amps or head- phones) in order to fine tune the sensitivity. In order to make settings correctly, adjust the volume to an appro- priate level.

NOTE

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.

Quick Start

??? No sound

First, make sure that connections have been made according to the setup on p. 23???25, and then check the following points.

??? No sound when you strike [PREVIEW]

Make sure that the [GROUP FADERS] sliders are not low-

ered.

fig.00-034

??? The wrong pad sounds, or other pads sound inadvertently

???Are you using the wrong TRIGGER INPUT jacks?

???Are the pads fixed firmly in place?

If the attachment of a pad has loosened, it may receive vibrations when a different pad is struck, and trigger sounds unintentionally.

???Is a high-volume speaker sounding nearby the pad? Try changing the orientation of the speaker or the pad.

???[PREVIEW] produces sound, but striking the pads does not.

Check whether the trigger indicator (TRIGGER) lights when you strike a pad. If it doesn???t light, check the connections of the pad and TRIGGER INPUT jack.

fig.00-051

??? When a pad is struck softly, it does not sound

???Did you touch a pad or press a pedal from the time that the TD-10 was powered on until the kit name display appeared?

When the power is turned on, the TD-10 checks the pads. If pads are struck during this time, the check cannot be performed correctly.

???The volume is too small for the force with which the pads are

struck

???Are you listening at an appropriate volume?

In the case of electronic drums, listening at low volumes may give you the impression that the pad sensitivity is low. If raising the volume (p. 37) does not correct this, then try adjusting the sensitivity (p. 39).

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?

???When using a PD-100 or PD-120, is the head tension adjusted correctly?

???When using a PD-7 or PD-9, is the Polarity Switch set to ???- (Roland)????

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

Features of the preset drum kits

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. This allows editing of parameters that were never available before, thus cre-

ating new and personalized sounds.

In order to produce a powerful sound, this preset has a setting of 8.0 inches, but let???s try changing this to 3.5 inches.

How does it sound? The character has changed considerably, and is much lighter. Strike a tom pad, and try the same adjustment for it.

In order to make the same comparison on acoustic drums, you would two separate drums. Furthermore, previous models of electronic drums had no way to make this adjustment. However on the TD-10, such changes are made with simple front panel operations,letting you create the desired sound in an instant.

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.

Reverb Time: 0.1???25 (sec)

The length of reverberation.

Pre Delay: 0???200 (ms)

Adjust the time until the reverb begins to sound. This is a small and precise adjustment and will appear to affect the fatness of the reverb, rather than being felt as a change in the reverb decay time.

High Cut Freq: 500???20k (Hz)

Adjust the tone of the reverb to make it brighter/darker. Lowering this frequency will cut more of the high range, making the sound darker.

Spread: 0???15

Adjust the left/right spread of the reverb. Higher settings will create a more obvious ???spread??? in the sound.

Parameters for Gate Reverb 1, 2, 3 / Non Linear 1, 2

Gate Time: 10???400 (ms)

Adjust the length of the reverb.

Pre Delay: 0???200 (ms)

Adjust the time until the reverb begins to sound. This is a small and precise adjustment and will appear to affect the fatness of the reverb, rather than being felt as a change in the reverb decay time.

High Cut Freq: 500???20k (Hz)

Adjust the tone of the reverb to make it brighter/darker. Lowering this frequency will cut more of the high range, making the sound darker.

Density: 0???127

Adjust the ???fatness??? of the reverb. Higher settings produce a fatter (denser) reverb.

Parameters for Delay 1, 2

Delay Time: 0???1200 (ms)

Adjust the time from the original sound until the delay is heard.

Shift: L1200???0???R1200 (ms)

Adjust the time difference between the left and right delays. For example: if Delay Time is set to 400ms, setting Shift to L100ms will cause the right channel delay to remain at 400ms and the left channel delay will sound at 400+100=500ms. You can not make settings that would cause the sum of Delay Time and Shift to be greater than 1200ms.

Feedback Level: 0???127

Adjust the number of times that the delay effect repeats.

High Damp Freq: 500???20k (Hz)

Adjust the tone of the delay to make it brighter/darker. Lowering this frequency will cut more of the high range, making the sound darker.

R16, R8T, R16F, R8, R4T, R8F, R4, R2T, R4F, R2

Specify how much the right or left channel delay will be later than the Delay Time.

For example if Delay Time is set to ???16 (16th note)??? and Shift is set to ???L16??? (left channel delayed by a 16th note), the right channel delay will be heard at 16th note timing, and the left channel will be heard one 16th note later than this. You can not make settings that would cause the sum of Delay Time and Shift to be greater than 1200ms.

Feedback Level: 0???127

Adjust the number of times that the delay repeates.

High Damp Freq: 500???20k (Hz)

Adjust the tone of the delay to make it brighter/darker. Lowering this frequency will cut more of the high range, making the sound darker.

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.

Delay Time: 0???500 (ms)

Adjust the time from the original sound until when the delay is heard.

Delay Feedback: 0???127

Specify the amount of pitch change. A setting of +1 raises the pitch a semitone, and +12 raises the pitch one octave.

Delay Time: 0???500 (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 repeats. With set- tings of 2 or more times, the pitch-shifted sound will be pitch-shifted again, meaning that the pitch will rise (or fall) by the specified Pitch Shift amount each time the delay repeats.

High Cut Freq: 500???20k (Hz)

Adjust the tone of the delay to make it brighter/darker. Lowering this frequency will cut more of the high range, making the sound darker.

Parameters for 3D-Delay 1, 2

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.

A set of performances for each of these four parameters is collectively referred to as a pattern.

The Preset patterns (1???50) contain pre-recorded perfor- mances for each part and can be used for listening, or as a practice/performance tool. Preset patterns cannot be erased (p. 104) or recorded over. The User patterns (51???100) can be used for recording. In order to record melodic instruments on Part 1, Part 2 and the Bass part, you will need to use an external MIDI keyboard. Recording the Drum part can be done from the pads or an external MIDI controller.

??? Using Preset Patterns

It is not possible to modify the settings of a preset pattern. If you attempt to modify the settings when a preset pattern is

selected, the following display will appear. fig.07-01a

Although the settings can be modified temporarily, the origi- nal settings will return when you select another pattern. If you wish to modify the settings of a preset pattern, you must first copy the preset pattern to a User pattern (p. 104).

??? Selecting patterns from the list

Like the ???PATTERN??? page, here you can select patterns from a list of names.

From the left, this indicates pattern name (Name), time sig-

nature (Beat), measure length (Len), and pattern type (Type). fig.07-03

Procedure

1. Press [PATTERN]-[F1 (LIST)].

The ???PATTERN LIST??? page will appear.

2.Use the VALUE dial, [INC/DEC] or [CURSOR] to select a pattern.

Function buttons

??? Selecting how a pattern will playback

There are three different ways to make a pattern play back. Loop: The pattern will playback, repeating until you

press [STOP].

One Shot: The pattern will playback once and then stop.

Tap: See (p. 119), This allows you to play back a pat- tern note by note (step by step) (You can press [PLAY] to audition this.)

Procedure

1.Press [PATTERN]-[F2 (FUNC)]-[F3 (TYPE)].

The ???PATTERN TYPE??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Play Type.???

3.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

Parameters

Play Type: Loop, One Shot, Tap

Ways to use this function

Loop: Loop is useful for practicing and live perfor- mance.

One Shot: One Shot is also a great live performance fea- ture.

With Loop and One Shot-each time you hit the pad to which the pattern is assigned, it will automatically start from the beginning of the pattern. It???s a good idea to actually try this out to see for yourself.

You can use an empty pattern assigned to a pad to function as a ???stop??? switch for a pattern trig- gered from another pad.

*QuickPlay is a supplementary function for Loop and One Shot. QuickPlay starts playback of the pattern from the first note (first event) even if when you recorded the pattern, you left a pause at the beginning. For example if you had just played/recorded freely,ignoring the tempo clock.

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. You can set the ???Reset Time??? so that the pattern will automatically return to the beginning if that time interval elapses without that pad being hit again. For example, you can play a bass line with your kick drum and the two sounds will be perfectly ???tight.???

*Reset Time (Off, 0.1???4.0 seconds)

This is the time interval that resets the pattern being used. If it is set to ???Off,??? this function will be disabled.

Click settings

??? Click on/off and volume settings

When you press [CLICK], the click will be turned on/off. To adjust the volume, move the [GROUP FADERS] slider [CLICK].

??? Setting the tempo

While pattern playback is halted, you can use the click as a metronome. But if a different pattern is selected, the tempo will change to the tempo specified for that pattern.

Procedure

1. Press [TEMPO].

The ???TEMPO??? page will appear.

2. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to set the tempo.

Specifying the type of pad

So that the TD-10 will be able to accurately receive the sig- nals from the pads or pedals, use the following settings to specify the type of pads that you are using. In addition to the content covered in ???Specify the pads that the TD-10 will use??? (p. 29) of the ???Quick Start,??? the section below will discuss Trigger Banks, and how to use acoustic drums with triggers or pads made by other manufacturers.

Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F1 (BANK)], and the following

setting page will appear. fig.08-01

What is the Trigger Type?

So that optimal settings can be made for each pad being used, you need to specify the type of pads being used. Indications such as ???3 PD7??? in the above display correspond to this. This indication means ???a PD-7 pad is being used for TRIGGER INPUT number 3.???

What is a Trigger Bank?

Trigger Banks allow you to store the 12 trigger settings as a single unit of information. The large number at the left edge of the above display is the Trigger Bank number. Move the cursor to this area to select the Trigger Bank.

Procedure

fig.08-02e

Model name

1.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F1 (BANK)].

The ???TRIGGER??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to a location other than ???BANK.???

3.Strike the pad for which you wish to set the Trigger Type. The cursor will move to the trigger number of the pad that you hit.

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting. Refer to the following table, and specify the type of pad.

*If you want the tone to be affected by the strike location on a PD- 100/120, select 10A/12A. The 10B/12B does not detect the strike location, but more rapid trigger response can be achieved.

*If you wish to make even more detailed settings, refer to the explanation in the following section ???Basic settings for the trig- ger parameters (BASIC).??? Normally you don???t need to adjust these parameters, but you may use them if you wish to make more accurate settings for your playing style.

*Use the KIK, SNR, TOM, and FLR settings when you use acoustic drums to sound the TD-10. For details refer to p.142.

*When using a pad made by another manufacturer, first select ???PD7??? and try playing the pad. If, with this setting, the pad striking force does not produce a stable volume, try a setting of ???P1.??? A setting of ???P2??? will be even more stable, but since the Scan Time (p.111) will be even longer, the interval from when the pad is struck until the sound is heard will be slightly (approximately 0.003 seconds) longer.

(For a kick, select ???KD7,??? and if the result is not stable, try ???K1??? or ???K2.???)

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)].

The ???TRIGGER BASIC??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Sensitivity.???

3.Strike the pad for which you wish to make settings.

The setting display for the pad you struck will appear, and an input indicator will move in the lower part of the screen.

4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

Adjust the Sensitivity value so that the strongest strikes cause the input indicator to reach nearly all the way to the maximum level (far right). Increasing this value will raise the sensitivity.

Parameters

Sensitivity: 1???16

??? Threshold

This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This helps prevent unintentional triggering caused by vibrations that reach a pad when an adjacent pad is hit. In the following example, signal 2 will sound, but signals 1 and 3 will not

sound. fig.08-04e

Threshold Level

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)].

The ???TRIGGER BASIC??? page will appear.

Chapter 7. Settings for the entire TD-10

4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

Gradually raise the Threshold value until the kind of unin- tentional triggering shown above no longer occurs. However if this value is raised too far, playing softly on the pad will not be detected. Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing style.

Parameters

Threshold: 0???15

??? Curve

This is another fine adjustment of sensitivity other than the Trigger Sensitivity parameter, controlling the relation between the velocity (striking force) and changes in volume (the dynamic curve) Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as possible.

Procedure

??? Head Tension Adjustment

The Head Tension Adjustment parameter regulates the fol- lowing two adjustments for the PD-100 and PD-120. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F4 (OPTION)] and the setting page will appear.

*The setting page for this setting will appear only if the Trigger Type (p. 108) is set to ???10A??? or ???12A??? for trigger number 2 (SNARE) and trigger number 10 (RIDE).

Adjust the head to an even tension

This setting allows the strike location to be accurately detect- ed. For the procedure refer to p. 31.

Adjust the tension of the head

Adjusting the Head Tension Adjustment value to the stan- dard value of ???Normal??? will provide an average head ten- sion. If you wish to loosen this, select ???Loose.??? To tighten it, select ???Tight.??? Then refer to the procedure of p. 32. and adjust the tension.

*Unlike tuning an acoustic drum, this setting will not affect the pitch. It affects only the tension of the head. But this is VERY important to achieve the best results for positional sensing, and to make sure that the head tension is even. For tuning the pitch of the sound, refer to p. 82.

Parameters

Head Tension Adjustment: Loose, Normal, Tight

??? Rim Sensitivity

When a PD-120 is used with trigger number 2 (SNARE), you can adjust the sensitivity of the rim. Higher settings will increase the sensitivity of the rim. With a setting of Off, only the head will sound.

Procedure

1.Set the trigger type to ???12A.???

For this setting, refer to p. 108.

2.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F4 (OPTION)].

The ???TRIGGER OPTION??? page will appear.

3.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Rim Sensitivity.???

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

Parameters

Rim Sensitivity: Off, 1???15

*Increasing the value excessively may cause the rim instrument to sound as well when the head is struck.

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. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)] and the setting page will appear.

??? Retrigger Cancel (RetrigCancel)

fig.08-07

B

3 Chapter 2 Chapter 1

??? Scan Time

Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ slightly depending on the characteristics of each pad or drum trigger (drum pickup) (TSC-10: optional), you may notice that identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at different volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the Scan Time so that your velocity of playing can be detected more precisely.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].

The ???TRIGGER ADVANCED??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Scan Time.???

3.Hit the pad for which you wish to make settings.

The setting page for the pad you struck will appear.

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradual- ly raise the Scan Time value from 0.0 msec, until the result- ing volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try both soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume changes appropriately. If the Scan Time setting is excessively high, there will be a longer delay until the note is heard, so set this to as low a value as possible.

Parameters

Scan Time: 0???4.0ms (0.1ms steps)

*The ???SCAN TIME??? setting is automatically set to the most effi- cient values for each pad when you select the ???TRIGGER TYPE??? (p. 108). If you have lowered the ???SCAN TIME???, the head tension adjustment (p.110) does not work correctly.

Sometimes in the case of a snare drum or other drum to which an acoustic drum trigger is attached, sound will occur at point ???A??? (as desired) but will also occur again at point ???B??? (undesired) due to distortions in the waveform. This is called ???retriggering,??? and occurs in particular at the decay- ing edge of the waveform. Retrigger Cancel detects such dis- tortion in and prevents retriggering from occurring.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].

The ???TRIGGER ADVANCED??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???RetrigCancel.???

3.Hit the pad (or acoustic drum if using triggers) for which you wish to make settings and the setting page for the pad you struck will appear.

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to adjust the setting.

While repeatedly striking the drum, raise the RetrigCancel value until retriggering no longer occurs. Raising this value will strengthen retrigger canceling, but will also mean that notes may be lost during fast playing (a drum roll for exam- ple) Set this to as low a value as possible.

Parameters

RetrigCancel: 1???16

Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Chapter

??? 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???. (two sounds instead of the intended ???one???) The Mask Time setting helps to prevent such prob- lems. Once a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals occurring within the specified MaskTime (0???64 msec) will be ignored.

*Playing electronic bass drum triggers requires that you realize this-as ???laying into the head,??? as you might do with a real bass drum, will not work here, and can cause this double triggering problem. This occurs most often with the bass drum trigger. With other pads, it only occurs if you leave the stick pressing against the head immediately after hitting it. Though technology today can perform many miracles, you still have to play with good technique.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].

The ???TRIGGER ADVANCED??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???MaskTime.???

3.Hit (or kick) a pad for which you wish to make settings and the setting page for that pad appears.

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

While playing the kick pad, try kicking and leaving the beat- er against the pad. If you hear the second note being trig- gered, raise the MaskTime. But in doing so, it also means that if you play very fast, certain notes may be lost. It may be easier for you to understand how mask time works by using a snare or tom pad, and playing a single handed ???buzz??? stroke. Raise the mask time to see how it affects this tech- nique.

*Never forget that your own playing technique has a lot to do with these potential problems.

Parameters

MaskTime: 0???64 ms (4 ms steps)

??? Crosstalk

When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the vibra- tion produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound from another pad unintentionally. (This is called crosstalk.) The Crosstalk setting lets you prevent such problems. Normally this won???t happen if the pads are not too close to each other and mounted on a solid stand. Playing technique is also an influence.

Procedure

1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].

The ???TRIGGER ADVANCED??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Crosstalk.???

3.Hit the pad for which you wish to make settings and the setting page for the pad you struck will appear.

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to adjust the setting.

If for example,if when hitting a tom pad, the ride cymbal also sounds,then raise the Crosstalk setting for the ride cym- bal pad from ???Off??? through ???30???, ???40??? ... until crosstalk no longer occurs. As this value is raised, the ride cymbal pad will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.

Increasing the Crosstalk value may cause a different prob- lem when playing two pads simultaneously, as the pad receiving the weaker hit may fail to respond. So be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to prevent such crosstalk. With a setting of ???Off,??? crosstalk pre- vention does no function.

Parameters

Cross Talk: OFF, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

The order in which trigger parameters should be set when using drum triggers

If you are using drum triggers, make settings following the sequence given below to ensure the best results. For details on each parameter, refer to p. 109???112.

Procedure

1.Refer to the explanation on p. 108 and select the Trigger Type.

2.Set the Threshold and Curve parameters to ???normal??? val-

ues.

Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)] to access the setting page. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameters, and use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the follow- ing settings.

Threshold: 0

Curve: Linear

3. Sensitivity

In the setting page of step 2, use [CURSOR] to move the cur- sor to ???Sensitivity.??? Make settings so that the input indicator in the left part of the display reaches the maximum level when the pad is struck strongly.

The settings below can be made in the setting page accessed by pressing [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].

4. Scan Time

Strike the head several times with the same force, and adjust this parameter if the volume is uneven.

5. Retrigger Cancel (RetrigCancel)

This prevents multiple notes from sounding when a drum is struck once (mainly for a snare drum or toms).

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.

8. Threshold

If notes are unintentionally sounded even after you have adjusted the Crosstalk setting, adjust the Threshold. If this parameter is raised excessively, playing softly may NOT trigger the TD-10, so keep the value as low as possible.

9. Curve

If changes in playing dynamics do not produce a natural change in the volume of the TD-10 instrument, adjust this parameter.

Adjusting the brightness of the display

The display contrast is strongly influenced by the location of the TD-10 and the lighting of the room it???s in. Adjust this parameter when needed.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F3 (CTRL)]-[F3 (DISPLY)].

The ???DISPLAY CONTRAST??? page will appear.

2.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

*OR You can do this by holding down [KIT] and rotating the VALUE dial.

Parameters

The following parameters can be set for each of the three points (low, mid, high).

GAIN: -15???0???+15

Specify the amount of boost/cut. Negative (-) settings will produce a cut.

FREQ (Frequency):20???500 (Low), 100???4k (Mid),

500???20k (High)

Select the frequency you wish to boots or cut.

The following parameter can be set only for the mid range.

Q: 0.5, 1.0???20 (1.0 steps)

Adjust the width of the frequency range. Depending on the ???Q??? value, raising the ???GAIN??? may boost both the low and high ranges.

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. If you lose track of the Device ID setting that was used when saving data via a bulk dump,it will no longer be possible to reload the bulk data that was saved.

* With the factory settings, the device ID is set to 17.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F1 (GLOBAL)].

The ???MIDI GLOBAL??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???DEVICE ID.???

3.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.

Parameters

Device ID: 1???32

Usage

(Example) Suppose that when data was saved via bulk dump, the TD-10???s Device ID was set to ???17.??? When re-trans- mitting this data back to the TD-10, it won???t receive if the

Device ID is set to something other than 17. fig.11-02e

Using pads to play an external MIDI sound module

Here???s how to make settings.

*You can play the TD-10 sounds with external sounds (called ???layering???)

Device ID: 16

3.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Note No.???

4.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to select the note num- ber.

Parameters

Note No.: 0 (C -)???127 (G 8)

*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.???

??? Setting the Gate Time

Using the TD-10 with the Roland SPD-11

This section explains how you can use the Roland SPD-11 (a MIDI controller) together with the TD-10???s pads to play internal sounds and an external sound Module. Connect the

SPD-11 and TD-10 as shown below. fig.11-11e

Chapter 2 Chapter 1

For each pad, you can specify the length of time the note will ???hold??? during transmission from the MIDI OUT.

Drum sound modules normally produce sound only in response to ???note-on??? messages, and ignore ???note-off??? mes- sages. However general-purpose sound modules or sam- plers do receive the note-off messages that are transmitted and respond by turning off the sound. For example, if you are triggering a ???loop??? in a sampler, or other sounds then the gate time parameter is very important. With the factory defaults (preset values), the transmitted gate time is set to the minimum value.

Procedure

1.Press [INST]-[F4 (CTRL)]-[F4 (MIDI)].

The ???INST CTRL??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Gate Time.??? 3.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to specify the duration of the notes.

Parameters

Gate Time: 0.1???8.0 seconds

??? Setting the MIDI channel

For setting the MIDI channel, refer to the section below, ???MIDI settings for the entire TD-10.??? Performance on the pads is transmitted from MIDI OUT on the same channel as the channel setting for the Drum part (???All Drums??? in the setting page).

MIDI messages for detailed performance expressions

??? Messages for hi-hat control

The TD-10???s hi-hat controller also transmits the depth to which the pedal is pressed, using control change messages. By default (factory preset), control change 4 is used. Reception/transmission to/from an external MIDI sequencer will use this number.

*If the MIDI device that you are using already uses control change number 4 for another function then you can set the hi- hat to use a different control change number.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F2 (CTRL)].

The ???MIDI Control Change??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???Pedal CC.???

3.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to specify the control change number.

Parameters

Pedal CC: OFF, Modulation (1), Foot Ctrl (4), General1 (16), General2 (17)

OFF:Hi-hat data control will not be received or transmitted via MIDI IN or MIDI OUT.

Modulation (1), Foot Ctrl (4), General1 (16), General2 (17): The specified control change will be used for hi-hat control. This setting will be used both for reception at MIDI IN and for transmission from MIDI OUT.

???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. The loca- tion from the center of the pad outward to the rim is indicat- ed by control change 16 for the snare drum (TRIGGER INPUT jack 2), and by control change 17 for the ride cymbal (TRIGGER INPUT jack 10). These numbers are used for both transmission and reception to/from an external MIDI device.

*If a MIDI device that you are using already uses control change numbers 16 and 17, you can change these numbers.

Procedure

1.Press [SETUP]-[F2 (MIDI)]-[F2 (CTRL)].

The ???MIDI Control Change??? page will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to ???SNARE??? to make the snare setting, or ???RIDE??? to make the ride cymbal set- ting.

3.Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to specify the control change number.

Parameters

Zone CC: OFF, Modulation (1), General1 (16), General2 (17)

OFF:Positional sensing data will not be received or transmit- ted via MIDI IN and MIDI OUT.

Modulation (1), General1 (16), General2 (17):

Positional sensing data will be handled using the speci- fied control change. This setting is applied to reception via MIDI IN and transmission from MIDI OUT.

Synchronization with external MIDI devices

This section discusses the settings that allow an external MIDI sequencer and the TD-10???s sequencer to be synchro- nized. The device that is playing back is called the ???master??? and the device that is synchronizing to the playback is called the ???slave???.

About the SYNC parameters

Internal: The TD-10???s tempo setting will be used for playback/recording. When shipped from the factory, this setting is selected.

External: The TD-10???s sequencer will operate in accor- dance with tempo data (MIDI Clock) from the external device.

Auto: This is a convenient setting that combines features of both the Internal and External set- tings. If the TD-10???s [PLAY] is pressed when no synchronization signal is being received, pressing the [PLAY] will playback according to the internal setting. When a synchroniza- tion signal is being received from an external device, the TD-10 will sync to that signal.

Remote: The TD-10 will obey start/pause/stop mes- sages from an external device, but will play- back according to its own tempo setting.

MIDI ??? Delay: Tempo messages will be received to control the ???Beat Delay??? of the effect. Since Song Select and playback start/pause/stop mes- sages will not be received, use this setting when you do not want the internal sequencer to playback in synchronization.

7 Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Chapter 1

??? Synchronizing the TD-10 to the playback of an external sequencer

In this case, the TD-10 will be the slave. As shown in the fol- lowing diagram, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device to the TD-10???s MIDI IN connec- tor.

In the page that appears when you press [CLICK]-[F2 (INST)], move the cursor to ???Output.??? If this is set to ???MAS- TER,??? the click will be output from MASTER OUT and the PHONES. If set to ???PHONES,??? the click will be output from the headphones ONLY.

Display-related problems

??? Trigger 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. Also verify the mounting of the pads and that the stand is stable in order to eliminate excess vibrations.

Other

???Hitting [PREVIEW] plays back a pat- tern.

Is a pad pattern assigned to the pad?

In this case, using [PREVIEW] to play this pad will have the same result as striking the pad, and the pattern will play- back. To stop playback, press [STOP].

??? Display is too light or too dark

The visibility of the display will change depending on the viewing angle and on room lighting conditions. Re-adjust the setting in the page that is displayed when you press [SETUP]-[F3 (CTRL)]-[F3 (DISPLY)], or hold down [KIT] and rotate the VALUE dial to make the setting.(easiest way).

???Sounds of other instruments are audible when using the DIRECT jacks

The ambience component of the tone being output from a DIRECT jack is being heard from the MASTER jack. Turn the ambience to "OFF" (p. 41), or set the "AMBIENCE Output Level" to "0" (p. 88).

Regardless of the sound output assignments (Output Assign; p. 91), all of the ambience sounds are mixed into two chan- nels, (L) and (R), and sent to the outputs selected with the "AMBIENCE Output Level" setting (p. 88). Therefore, sounds may be audible through a different output than the output assigned for the instrument itself due to the "AMBI- ENCE Output Level" setting.

For example, if the factory settings are changed so that the kick is output from the DIRECT jack, the ambience sounds are still to be output from the MASTER jack; as a result, the kick sound could be perceived as seeping from the MASTER jack.

Low-level crosstalk (-45 dB or lower) is per- ceived at another output connector.

This is within the TD-10's specifications, so it should not be a source for concern.

Output Separation:76 dB (min.)

(MASTER L -> DIRECT L, MASTER R -> DIRECT R): 45 dB (min.)

(DIRECT L -> Other DIRECT L, DIRECT R -> Other DIRECT R): 45 dB (min.)

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.

About MIDI

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.

If you wish to use a MIDI keyboard to record on the TD-10, or to use an external sequencer to play the TD-10, we sug- gest that you understand the explanations that follow.

MIDI connectors

fig.12-03a

MIDI IN

This connector receives messages from external MIDI devices ( keyboards, sequencers controllers etc.) to play the TD-10???s instruments or change its settings.

MIDI OUT

The TD-10 transmits musical data from its sequencer or pads via the MIDI OUT, and can also use this connector save internal song data and settings to an external sequencer for back-up purposes.

MIDI THRU

All messages received at MIDI IN are re-transmitted from this connector. (if Soft Thru is ???ON???) refer to ???Chapter 10. Functions using MIDI,??? and read the section ???Using the TD- 10 with the Roland SPD-11??? (p. 123). This connector is used when you wish to transmit the same stream of MIDI data to other devices. With the factory settings, this connector will function as MIDI OUT only.

MIDI channels and multi- timbral sound sources

MIDI transmits many types of data over a single MIDI cable. This is made possible by the concept of MIDI channels which allow a device to distinguish the data that is or is not intended for it. In some ways, MIDI channels are similar to television channels. By changing the channel on a television set, you can view the programs that are being broadcast by different stations. In the same way, MIDI also allows a device to select the information intended for that device out

of the variety of information that is being transmitted to it. fig.12-03be

The cable from the antenna carries the TV signals from many broadcast stations.

Station A

Station B

Station C

The TV is set to the channel of the station you wish to watch.

MIDI uses sixteen channels; 1 through 16. Set the receiving device so that it will receive only the channel that it needs to receive. In the example below, the transmitting device is transmitting on channels 1 and 2, but sound module A has been set to receive only channel 1, and sound module B has been set to receive only channel 2. In this way, sound mod- ule A plays the guitar part and sound module B plays the

bass part. fig.12-03ce

When the TD-10 is used as a sound module, it can function on four different channels simultaneously. This means that a single TD-10 can play a four-part ensemble. Sound modules like the TD-10 which can receive multiple

MIDI channels at once to play different sounds on each channel are called ???multi-timbral sound modules.???

Using drum triggers

This section explains how to attach an acoustic drum trigger.

Procedure

1. Attach the drum trigger to the acoustic drum. fig.12-05a

fig.12-05be

fig.12-05e

Make sure that the wire does not touch

*If the drum trigger of a tom has a low output level, attach it to the head.

2.Use a monaural cable to connect the drum trigger to the TD-10???s TRIGGER INPUT jack.

3. Make trigger settings on the TD-10.

Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F1 (BANK)] to access the setting page. Next, use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the trigger number that you wish to set, and use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to set the trigger parameters as shown in the

following display. fig.12-07

4.When you hit the drum, the TD-10 will will be triggered.inverted? If it does not sound correctly, try changing the position of the drum trigger, or refer to ???The order in which trigger parameters should be set when using drum triggers??? (p. 112) and make adjustments.

*So that the drum trigger does not pick up extraneous vibrations, do not allow it???s cable to contact the rim or shell (body).

*Be sure to mute the bass drum and snare drum. If you use a ring mute, cut away part of the ring mute, so the drum trigger con- tacts the head directly.

*For details on adjusting the correspondence between playing velocity and the TD-10???s volume, refer to p. 37 of the ???Quick Start,??? and ???Basic settings for the trigger parameters??? (p. 109).
