Chapter 6. Sequencer (Playback)

The TD-20’s sequencer organizes music into six parts. The Drum Kit part is used to record/play back what is played on the pads. Additionally, Melody Part, Bass Part, Backing 1 Part, and Backing 2 Part are the four backing instrument parts, and there is another Percussion part.

The collective performance of these six parts is called a pattern.

Preset Patterns (Pattern P 1–100)

Settings in Preset patterns cannot be modified. These patterns are provided for use in practicing or live performances.

User Patterns (Pattern U 101–200)

These are patterns for you to use as you wish. You can record directly from the pads or an external MIDI keyboard in real time (p. 61). User pattern settings are saved automatically.

Using Preset Patterns

As you cannot record over a preset pattern, the following appears in the display if you press [REC].

If you want to change, edit, or record any Preset pattern settings, copy them to a User pattern (p. 64).
