Purpose-Oriented Index
This index lists the principal settings and functions you’ll use the TD-30.
Purpose Explanation Page
Auditioning the sound of a drum kit
You can audition the currently selected drum kit by using a phrase to play its sounds.
For convenient auditioning, the TD-30 provides various drum and backing phrases
(“preset patterns”).
Select a drum kit, and then play the patterns to hear its sounds.
MEMO
You can use the GROUP FADERS to adjust the volume balance and the amount of
ambience (p. 28).

Recalling drum kits in a specied order
(Drum kit chain)
By specifying the desired drum kit for each step of a 32-step chain, you can specify the
order in which you want drum kits to be recalled. This function is called “drum kit chain.”
This is convenient for a live performance, since it provides an easy way for you to specify
and then recall drum kits in the order you need to use them.

Returning all settings to their factory-set
state (Factory reset)
If desired, you can return the drum kits and all other settings to their factory-set state. p. 122

An individual drum kit whose instrument or eect settings you’ve edited can be returned
to the factory-set state by using the Copy function.
Select “PRESET” as the copy-source, and then select the drum kit whose settings you
want to return to the factory-set state.

Using drum kits from a USB ash drive
