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. 35) cannot be recorded.
* Please keep in mind that even though there are 50 user patterns,
the amount of memory available will be determined by how
much data is recorded into each pattern.

Basic recording procedure

The procedure is the same when recording with pads or
with a MIDI keyboard.
