Editing A Drum Kit; Editing With The Sound Modify Knobs - Roland V-Drums TD-27 Reference Manual

Editing a Drum Kit

The TD-27 lets you shape your sounds in a wide variety of ways, from customizing the drum itself by changing the head type
or shell depth, to adjusting the reverberation. If you want to make changes intuitively, use the sound modify knobs. If you
want to make precise settings while viewing the values in the screen, start your editing from the [KIT EDIT] button.
* Since the TD-27 automatically saves the values that you change, there's no need to perform a specific operation to save your
settings. Settings are also saved when you turn off the power.
MEMO
You can temporarily save the drum kit that you're editing, and compare it with the current settings while you edit (the
snapshot function) (p. 34).
