Roland TD-10 Using the TD-10 as a sound module

Using the TD-10 as a
sound module
As shown in the following diagram, use a MIDI cable to con-
nect the TD-10’s MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT connector of an
external sequencer,keyboard or pad controller (such as SPD-
11).
fig.11-01ae
The settings discussed here are necessary only when using
the TD-10 as a MIDI sound module.
* When using the TD-10 as a 4-part sound module, the sounds
you select must be assigned to a PATTERN as the pattern para-
meters store which sounds you are using. In this case it’s best to
use an empty pattern to make these settings. (Press [PAT-
TERN]-[F4 (NEW)] to select an empty pattern containing no
performance.)
■Setting the instrument for each
part
Refer to “Chapter 6. Sequencer” in the section “Settings for
part instruments” (p. 106).
If you wish to select instruments for the backing parts (Part
1, Part 2 , Bass part) from an external MIDI device, transmit
program changes (PG) 1–54. These correspond to instru-
ments 1–54 of the TD-10’s backing parts.
■Adjusting the mixer settings
for each part
Refer to “Chapter 6. Sequencer” in the section “Settings for
part instruments” (p. 106).
■Regarding note numbers for
the drum kit sounds
Refer to “Selecting the note number transmitted by each
pad” (p. 122).
