This owner’s manual is organized as follows. Quick Start This section is intended for those using the TD-8 for the first time, and explains how to use various functions in a simple way. Please read Quick Start and follow along by actually operating the TD- 8.
Page 12: Features
Features Offers Variable Drum Modeling Sound Generation Simulates the sound-making process of acoustic drums—The V-Edit Feature (p. 56, p. 85) This makes it possible to create sounds in a manner that is completely analogous to what is done with acoustic drums. For example, you start by choosing the desired head, then you tune it, and then muffling (muting) can be applied.

Page 212: About Tuning
Example of an Exclusive message and calculating a Checksum Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted exclusive message.
