Instrument
An instrumental sound such as a snare drum or kick drum
is called an "instrument. " An instrument is assigned to each
location of a pad that can be struck independently, such as
the pad's head and rim.
5 For each instrument, you can specify the sound and adjust
its attack and release, etc.
5 You can create a wide range of sounds by editing various
settings for each instrument, such as the type of head, the
depth of the shell, or its ambience.
5 An audio file that you create on your computer can also
be loaded from an SD card into the TD-27 and played as
an instrument (the user sample function).

Drum Kits
This is the set of instruments that are assigned to the pads.
You can make settings that apply to the entire drum kit, such
as specifying the position of the overhead mics that capture
the sound of the entire drum kit, the location in which it's
being played, and the effects.
Effects
This unit provides effects that apply to individual strike
locations of a pad (such as the pad equalizer), effects that
apply to individual pads (such as the pad compressor), and
effects that apply to the entire drum kit (such as MFX and
master compressor).
