Features
Includes Specially Selected
Drum Effects
The three-band equalizer and compressor can be used with
each of the head and rim instruments assigned to the 1–12
trigger inputs (p. 40). Also included are flanger, chorus, delay,
phaser, and other multi-effects that can be applied to the
entire kit (p. 42). The TD-12 also features an Ambience
function, which lets you control the "performance
environment" through adjustments to room size, wall
materials, ambience mic position, and other factors (p. 42).
Functions For Stage
The group faders are located on the top panel so you can make
quick volume adjustments as needed during performances (p.
26). The TD-12 also offers superior functionality and
operability. For example, you can call up drum kits in any
desired order (Drum Kit Chain, p. 80), the +/- buttons are
large enough to be pressed with a drum stick, you can route
the click sound so that it is output only through the
headphones (p. 76), and there's even an audio input for
monitoring (MIX IN jack). The MIX EDIT function allows you
to edit the volume, Ambience send level, and other levels
instantly with the group faders (p. 39).
Easy-To-Use Sequencer
Tasks like playing back patterns and recording pad
performances and hi-hat control adjustments are a snap. In
addition to the drums, preset backing patterns featuring four
backing parts and percussion parts allow you to practice
ensemble, while using a MIDI keyboard or other such input
further allows you to create your own backing patterns.

Advanced Tempo Functions
You can check the indicator to confirm each kit's preset tempo
before calling out the count (p. 62). You can also set pattern
and click tempos to the tempo at which you tap the pads (Tap
Tempo; p. 55).
MIDI Sound Module
Potentials
The TD-12 includes percussion sets allowing the unit to be
used as a dedicated rhythm sound module. In addition to
twelve types of drum sound modules for use with pads, the
dedicated percussion note map allows you to make use of 128
different instrument sounds simultaneously.

two or more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy
performing a wide range of visual effects that are linked to the
expressive elements of a music performance. By using the TD-
12 and Edirol DV-7PR together, connected pads can be used to
switch the Edirol DV-7PR's images (clips/palettes) (p. 78).
