ROLAND TD20 Details
The new TD-20 is Roland’s best percussion sound module
ever, offering the ultimate sonic quality, over 500 new sounds, plus superb expressiveness
and dynamic range when used with the new PD-125BK/105BK V-Pads and VH-12 V-Hi-Hat.
With the superior sensitivity, drummers can play more naturally and without having
to adjust their playing technique. The TD20 includes the ability to vary the
rim shot and bass drum sounds depending on how you play, plus new interval control
for better snare drum rolls and more realistic cymbal swells. Close your eyes.
Listen to every articulation and sound being faithfully re-created until the moment
your cymbal fades away, and you’ll swear this is a real acoustic set.
More Powerful V-Editing
The TD20 gives drummers even greater modeling power using
Roland’s latest
COSM technology. Vastly expanded for unlimited expression, the TD20’s
V-Editing starts from careful analysis of an entirely new set of drum sounds.
The result captures every nuance of the real thing—including every moment
of drum vibration and complete customization capabilities. For example, drummers
can now select from several types of kick beaters including felt, wood and
plastic. The cymbal size can also be changed, along with the type of “sizzle”
(i.e. rivets or chain), and the microphone position. The TD-20 even lets drummers
add realistic snare drum “buzz” (the resonance created on the
toms and bass drum) that matches the type of snare drum selected. It’s
the subtle nuances like these that really make the difference during performance
and recording.
Enhanced Performance Features
Whether used live or in the studio, the Roland TD20 offers a host of powerful
features designed to make life easy. Eight group faders are provided for
adjusting the relative levels of each part (snare, kick, hi-hat, etc.), while
15 individual compressors and EQs let you sculpt each sound to perfection.
The TD-20 also includes a 5-part sequencer loaded with preset backing patterns
and plenty of room for your own—plus onboard Ambience effects, a stellar
multi-effects processor and more. A new Mastering Room lets you add compression
and EQ on the overall sound, while 10 analog outputs and a S/DPIF digital
output give drummers plenty of options when mixing live or in the studio.
Convenient CompactFlash Storage and More
New to the Roland TD 20 is a CompactFlash slot, which can be used for storing
custom drum kits and sequencer patterns with optional memory cards. An expansion
bay located on the underside means there’s room for upgrades down
the road. The TD-20 also features Roland’s V-LINK technology. Using
an optional video editor from Edirol, drummers can trigger images or change
cameras from the pads or kick.
The TD-20 Percussion Sound Module represents a giant leap forward
in V-Drums technology. This flagship module boasts incredible sound quality,
all-new sounds and unsurpassed expressiveness. The COSM modeling-based V-Editing
is also enhanced, giving drummers impressive new cymbal control, adjustable
snare drum buzz and kick beater selection. Factor in a new digital output
and an expansion slot for future upgrades, and the TD-20 is simply the best
percussion sound module Roland has ever made.

The Best Sounds and Expressiveness
Without a doubt, the TD-20 is Roland's best-sounding percussion
module ever with over 500 new sounds, plus superb expressiveness and dynamic
range when used with the PD-125BK/105BK V-Pads and VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. Superior
sensitivity lets drummers play more naturally and without having to adjust
their playing technique. For example, rim shot and bass drum sounds can be
varied depending on how they are played. And with Roland's new interval control
technology, drummers can create more realistic snare rolls and cymbal swells.
Close your eyes and you'll swear you're playing the real thing!
Advanced V-Editing
Vastly expanded for unlimited expression, the TD-20's modeling-based
V-Editing starts from careful analysis of an entirely new set of drum sounds.
From there, drummers are free to change parameters like the cymbal size, along
with the type of "sizzle" (i.e. Rivets or chain), and the microphone
position. Several types of kick beaters can also be selected, including felt,
wood and plastic. The TD-20 can even model snare drum "buzz" (the
resonance created on the tom and bass drum) for startling realism. It's the
subtle nuances like these that really make the difference during performance
and recording.
Enhanced Performance Features
Whether used live or in the studio, the TD-20 offers a host of powerful
features designed to make life easy. Eight group faders let drummers adjust
the relative part levels, while 15 Pad Compressors and Pad Eqs make shaping
sounds easy. There's also a 5-part sequencer loaded with preset backing patterns
and plenty of room for your own, plus onboard effects like Ambience and a
Mastering Room for adding compression and EQ to the overall sound. A choice
of 10 analog outputs and a S/DPIF digital output offer plenty of options when
mixing live or in the studio.
