Example: Adjusting the Snare Volume

Group Faders

fig.00-009
1. Press [FADER] so the upper indicator is lit. 2. Move the [GROUP FADERS] [SNARE] slider.
The slider position shows the current snare volume. * After switching with [FADER], the values for the [GROUP FADERS] sliders may not reflect the actual volume of the sound assigned to that fader. So after switching, be sure to move the faders a bit before making your setting. * This will NOT affect the independent volume balance for each kit in: Mixer Settings (p. 37).
Use [GROUP FADERS] sliders to adjust the volume. If you press the [FADER] button, the function of the faders will change as is explained in the chart below. An LED will light up at the upper and lower right of the faders to indicate which set of sounds is active. When upper indicator is lit, you can adjust the volume of following trigger inputs. KICK SNARE TOMS HI-HAT CRASH 1 CRASH 2 RIDE AUX 1 KICK 2 SNARE 3 TOM 1, 4 TOM 2, 5 TOM 3, 6 TOM HI-HAT 8 CRASH CRASH RIDE, 11 EDGE 12 AUX 1, 13 AUX 2, 14 AUX 3, 15 AUX 4

Time Signature can be set on an empty pattern. You cannot set 1/8 and 1/16-3/16.
Choosing a Playback Method [F2 (TYPE)]
When set to Pad Pattern (p. 35), the sounds are played back in sequence each time the pad is pressed. (You can use [PLAY] instead of a pad.) 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 Tap Reset Time so that the pattern will automatically return to the beginning if that time interval elapses without that pad being hit again. You can play a bass line with your kick drum, too. * When using Realtime Recording (p. 61) to record patterns used for TAP playback, make the Quantize settings (p. 63) before you begin recording.

When ON, recording starts the instant you strike a pad in recording standby mode. Press [F5 (HITPAD)] to turn on/off. This function can be used only when Local Control (p. 75) is set to ON (DRUM).
1. Start recording (p. 61). 2. While recording is underway, press [REC].
Now, data from pads or keyboard cannot be recorded.

fig.07-Rehearsal_70

Quantize
Quantize is a function that corrects timing inaccuracies while you record. Set the note value before you begin recording and everything you play will be quantized automatically. The value should be set to the shortest note appearing in the phrase. When set to OFF, the pattern is recorded exactly as played. * When using Tap Playback to play back a pattern you have created, first make sure that this is not set to OFF, then quantize. If set to OFF, then Tap Playback cannot be executed correctly.
3. Press [REC] to resume recording.

[REC] lights.

LOOP ALL: The entire pattern will be repeated in loop mode and you can continually record (like overdubbing). LOOP 1, LOOP 2: Recording in a one or two measure loop mode. REPLACE: Recording will continue until you press [STOP]. Any previously recorded data for all Parts will be erased.

Mask Time

Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get cross stick sounds. When set to 0, playing a cross stick produces the open rim shot sound.
* Increasing the value excessively may cause the cross stick to sound as well when the open rim shot is played.

Sound not produced

Mask Time: 064 (ms) Adjust the Mask Time value while playing the pad. When using a kick trigger, try to let the beater bounce back and hit the head very quickly, then raise the Mask Time value until there are no more sounds made by the beater rebound. * When set to a high value, it will be difficult to play very quickly. Set this to as low a value as you can.

Rim/Edge Dynamic Response (Rim Gain)
When a PD-125/120/105, PD-80R, PD-9/8/7, CY series pad, VH-12, or RT-5S (trigger) is connected, you can adjust the relation between your playing velocity (force) on the rim/ edge and the resulting volume level. Rim Gain: 03.2 Higher value allows the rim/edge to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower value will keep the rim/edge producing a low volume even when played forcefully.

Quantize
Quantize is a function that corrects timing inaccuracies while you record. Set the note value before you begin recording and everything you play will be quantized automatically. The value should be set to the shortest note appearing in the phrase. When set to OFF, the pattern is recorded exactly as played. * When using Tap Playback to play back a pattern you have created, first make sure that this is not set to OFF, then quantize. If set to OFF, then Tap Playback cannot be executed correctly.

Additionally, if other than ALL is specified in copysource part, then ALL cannot be specified in copydestination part. When copying between drum kit parts and percussion parts or backing parts, copy takes place in accord with the predetermined correspondence between note numbers and pads.

Synchronizing Images to a TD-20 Performance [F5 (V-LINK)]

What is V-LINK?

V-LINK ( ) is a function that allows music and images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy performing a wide range of visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of a music performance. For example, by using the TD-20 and Edirol DV-7PR together, you can use the pads connected to the TD-20 to switch the Edirol DV-7PRs images (clips/palettes). * In order to use V-LINK with the TD-20 and Edirol DV-7PR, you will need to make connections using an Edirol UM-1X/ UM-1SX (sold separately).
2. Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to select the output.
Choose from: Master, Phones, and separate stereo outs.

V-LINK Functions that the TD-20 Can Control and MIDI Messages
When playing a pattern by hitting a pad (Pad Pattern; p. 35), you can assign the following functions to the note messages recorded in the backing parts of the pattern to control the VLINK-compatible video equipment. * The backing parts are the parts other than the drum part and percussion part of the internal sequencer. * Set Play Type (p. 58) of the pattern to V-LINK. * The Performance data recorded in the backing part of the sequencer is transmitted on V-LINK MIDI Ch (p. 75). * Set V-LINK Device ID (p. 75) to match the device ID number of the video equipment which is controlled by the TD-20.
* For details on clips/palettes, dissolve time, and retrigger point, refer to the Edirol DV-7PR owners manual.

The TD-20 does not support the Edirol DV-7PRs dual stream mode.

About Expansion Board

Expansion boards (optional) are cards that allow you to upgrade the system and add new instruments and drum kits. The bottom panel of the TD-20 has a slot that allows expansion boards to be installed. Install only the specified circuit board (SOUND & SYSTEM EXPANSION BOARD for TD-20). * Sound expansion boards for the Roland JV/XP/XV/Fantom series cannot be used.
How to Install a Expansion Board
1. Always turn the TD-20 off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the circuit board (SOUND & SYSTEM EXPANSION BOARD for TD-20). 2. Remove only the eight screws as indicated below, and open the cover located on the bottom of the TD-20.

fig.00-049ae

Cautions When Installing a Expansion Board

Removal screws

To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.
Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.
When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
3. Check that the plastic board holders are positioned as shown figure. Rotate them if necessary.

fig.00-049be

Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesnt fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

Expansion board

When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the circuit board (SOUND & SYSTEM EXPANSION BOARD for TD-20).

Connector Board holder

Install only the specified circuit board (SOUND & SYSTEM EXPANSION BOARD for TD-20). Remove only the specified screws.

TD-20_Ref_e.book 87

4. While positioning the holes on the board over the board holders, carefully insert the connector on the board into the socket on the TD-20. Make sure the connector is securely connected, and that all three board holders project through the holes. 5. Use the Installation Tool supplied with the Expansion board to turn the holders in the LOCK direction, so the board will be fastened in place.
