Features
Access to all the editing parameters and operations is very
simple and easy to understand. All functions are clearly
illustrated in the display, with easy-to-understand icons to
help with the editing process (V-Edit, etc.). TD-20X gives you
superior control and allows you to easily customize the
sounds to your specific needs.
Like with acoustic drums, you can tune, add muffling (mute),
change the heads and even adjust the tension of the snares
(or even turn them off). You can change the shell depths or
the material of the snare drum shell.
You can place sizzles on the cymbals, put a tambourine on
the hi-hat, hand claps on the snare drum rim and much more.
You can even adjust the overall kit resonance.
Ambiences Designed and Tuned for Drums
There are 25 different room types to choose from. You can
choose the wall material, room size and shape and even
move the ambient microphones to further enhance the
sound. This helps to create the perspective of listening to the
drums from a different part of the room, or hearing the
precise, finished sound quality like in a recording studio
control room.
Professional Sound Processing
Each pad has an individual 3-band equalizer and a
compressor. There’s also a multi-effect section providing
reverb, flanger, chorus, delay, pitch shifter, phaser, overdrive,
and ring modulator. You can virtually move the microphone
on specific sounds as well as select the type microphone
being used. And for the overall kit, there’s a master
compressor and master equalizer (P.65) that you can use to
even further fine-tune the overall sound. All of these sound
design tools are the same as what is found in professional
recording or PA system consoles.
Roland’s advanced triggering system, which allows you to
easily set the type of pad you are using, including all
parameters, guarantees a very natural dynamic response, no
matter what style of music you are performing.
Previous models of Roland pads are compatible with the
TD-20X. Please see the chart on page 96.
15 Trigger Inputs Allow Expansion
Possibilities
As up to 15 pads can be connected, it is easy to add on extra
pads to have more sounds available at once. You can also
assign special functions to a pad such as switching drum kits,
turning the snares on and off, setting the hi-hat to a fixed
position, playing patterns etc. (Pad Switch, P.111, Pad
Pattern, P.52).
Playing with Brushes
You can play with brushes, using normal “sweep” techniques,
but only if you are using the following pads as the snare
drum. PD-125XS, PD-125X, PD-105X & PD-120 (P.40).
The preset patterns contain four backing parts (262
instruments) and one percussion part, and the patterns have
been selected to represent not just a variety of musical styles,
but to give you an idea of what you can do with it, whether
using for practice or performance purposes.
By connecting a MIDI keyboard, you can create your own
patterns.
