Listening To The Demo Song - Roland V-Drums TD-8 Owner's Manual

Before You Begin Playing

Listening to the Demo Song

The TD-8 features an internal demo song demonstrating the TD-8's sounds
and expressive capabilities. You can listen to the four songs, arranged as a
medley; the songs play back in "LOOP" (repeating) until [PLAY/STOP] is
pressed once more.
The drums played on the demo songs (except "ANALOG")
were played in real time into a sequencer with the TD-8 system
and not programmed on a keyboard or quantized afterwards.

adjust to a suitable volume
while the demo song plays
back.
