Recording The Pad Performance On An External Sequencer (Local Control); Setting The Device Id - Roland V-Drums TD-20X Owner's Manual

Recording the Pad Performance on an
External Sequencer (Local Control)
This is required when you want to trigger sounds in an
external sound module and/or record your performance on
an external MIDI sequencer, and NOT use the TD-20X's
internal sounds. If that is your need, then turn "Local Control"
to "OFF." The trigger signals from the pads go directly to the
MIDI OUT/THRU connector.
The TD-20X's default mode is with Local Control "ON."

If you make connections and record as shown, with a setting
of "Local Control" "ON," duplicate notes will be re-
transmitted to the TD-20X and will not be played correctly.
ON (DRUM):
The performance data from the pad is sent to the drum kit
part. Normally set to this.
ON (PERC):
The performance data from the pad is sent to the percussion
part and drum kits cannot be played. Select this only when
you record the percussion part with pads.
When "Local Control" is set to "ON (PERC)," the sound
does not change if you switch drum kits because drum
kits cannot be played with pads.

Setting the Device ID

The setting described here is necessary only when you wish
to transmit separate data to two or more TD-20X units at the
same time. Do not change this setting in any other case. (At
the factory settings, the device ID is set to "17.")
If you lose track of the Device ID setting that was used
when saving data via a bulk dump, it will no longer be
possible to reload the bulk data that was saved.
Example:
Suppose that when data was saved via bulk dump (p. 119),
the TD-20X's Device ID was set to "17." When re-transmitting
this data back to the TD-20X, it won't receive if the Device ID
is set to something other than "17."
