Sequencer - Roland V-Drums TD-30 Owner's Manual

Overview of the TD-30
Effects
The sound can be processed or enhanced in many ways by applying "effects. "
The TD-30 provides the following effects; some can be applied to individual pads, while others apply to the entire drum kit.
PAD COMPRESSOR/PAD EQ
A "compressor" is an effect that reduces volume peaks, by modifying the attack and release of the sound.
An "equalizer" lets you adjust specific separate frequency ranges such as high, mid, and low.
The pad compressor and pad EQ effects can be applied individually to each pad.
AMBIENCE SECTION
Ambience is an effect that simulates the acoustics of the location in which you're performing. Parameters available include
adjusting the overhead mic position, the shape and size of the room, the wall material and reverb. Each pad has its own
ambience send level and each kit has its own ambience settings.
MULTI EFFECTS
The "multi-effect" lets you choose one of 21 different effects on a per-kit basis. Each sound has its own effect-send level.
MASTER COMPRESSOR/MASTER EQ
The compressor and equalizer can be used on a per-kit basis, or in a global way for the whole TD-30. (This means those
settings will apply to all kits.)

Sequencer

A "sequencer" records or plays back the MIDI information that is input to it, be it the on-board sequencer in the TD-30 or
computer software.
The TD-30's sequencer lets you record and/or playback "patterns. "
Patterns/part
A "pattern" consists of the performance data for the six "parts" in the TD-30; drum, melody, bass, backing 1, backing 2, and
percussion.
Use patterns to create the backing track of a song for practice purposes, or you can assign them to be triggered from the pads
of the TD-30 for performance aspects.
There are already preset patterns on-board the TD-30. To record a pattern, you'll use "realtime recording"—as you play on the
pads or with a connected external MIDI keyboard.
