TD-10 operating procedure

This section explains basic operation of the TD-10. Please try out each of these procedures.

■Adjusting the volume

Adjusting the volume balance

For the kick drum, snare drum and hi-hat, use the [GROUP FADERS] sliders to adjust the volume.

Tom and cymbal, etc. are all adjusted as a group by [OTHERS].

Volume adjustments for each pad of the kit are made by the Control Room settings (p. 90).

Adjusting the overall volume

Use [VOLUME CONTROL] to adjust the volume of the TD-10’s MASTER output jacks. Rotating it

clockwise increases volume, and rotating it counterclockwise decreases volume.

fig.00-035

[MASTER]: Adjusts the volume output from the MASTER OUT jacks.

[PHONES]: Adjusts the volume output from the headphone jack.

[MIX IN]: Adjusts the volume that is input from the MIX IN jack.

The input from MIX IN is output from the MASTER jacks and the PHONES jack (alter-

natively, only from the PHONES jack).
