IMPORTANT NOTES
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on pages 2–4, please read and observe the following:
355b
•
Power Supply
•
When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
301 Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical
outlet.
Maintenance
401a
•
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the
unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
•
307 Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
308 Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the

•
•
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the
unit has been completely disconnected from the source of
power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first
turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into
which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should
be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
Repairs and Data
•
452 Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on a DATA
card, in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written
down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is
taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases
(such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of
order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the
data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss
of data.
Placement
•
351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
•
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
Memory Backup
•
Noise may be produced if wireless communications
501b
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
•
This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s
memory circuits while the main power is off. When this
battery becomes weak, the message shown below will
appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the
battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to
avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery
replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
354a

IMPORTANT NOTES
Additional Precautions
•
Before Using Cards
551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
Using DATA Cards
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit’s memory on a DATA card or in
another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
•
704 Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
fig.CFslot
•
552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, on a DATA
card, or in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
CompactFlash™
•
553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•
705 Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid
•
getting the terminals dirty.
556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

•
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
557 A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
558a
•
708 CompactFlash cards are constructed using precision
•
components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular
note to the following.
•
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity,
be sure to discharge any static electricity from your
own body before handling the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with
the contact portion of the cards.
558c
•
Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or
vibration.
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially at night and when using headphones. Although
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by
switching to mesh heads.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,
or other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85°
C).
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
559a
•
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
985
* The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced
version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what
you actually see in the display may not always match what
appears in the manual.
•
562 Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Features
Everything Is New! Module—
Stand—V-Hi-Hat—Pads
High-speed triggering
Advances in trigger technology combined with new pad
designs and V-Hi-Hat pads, provide natural response and
feel. Even playing with brushes (plastic only) has improved.
The TD-20 follows in the foot steps of the industry standard
TD-10, taking advantage of even more powerful COSM
technology. Velocity, position, and interval of each hit are
detected precisely, providing real and natural dynamics. The
new, dual trigger PD-125/105 pads give you superior feel,
response and control of the sound. You can play both shallow
and deep rim shots. 15 trigger inputs let you use lots of pads,
leaving room for advanced Pad Switch applications. (p. 80)
Data Organization
on the CF card. Each one stores 50 kits, all patterns, percussion
sets and global parameters (p. 70). You can copy FROM the
card, the individual kits, instruments within a kit and
percussion sets (p. 69). You can also save/load up to 100
individual patterns (p. 67).
* COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) is a Roland
technology combining multiple sound modeling processes to
create new sounds.
* Positional detection is possible on snare drums (head/rim),
toms (rim) and ride cymbals (bow).
Audio Signal Routing Stage
or Studio
560 New Drum Sounds
Expanded V-Editing
Flexibility of audio routing is important in the professional
environment. The TD-20 lets you use all of the outputs in a
very efficient way. Each sound of the drum kit can be assigned
to one of the 10 individual outs. (Master out can be used as an
individual pair. The Effects, Ambience, Backing parts, Click
and even audio coming in the MIX input, can be assigned to
individual outputs. Perfect for any situation.
The onboard sound library was created for the TD-20, and
to change heads, muffling types, shell depth, etc. you can also
place one of two sizzle types on any cymbal, put a tambourine
on the hi-hat, add snare buzz to the toms or kick, change the
beater type and move the microphone position on all sounds
(p. 32).
Unique V-Hi-Hat VH-12
An Easy User Interface
The VH-12 V-Hi-Hat, which mounts on just about any hi-hat
stand on the market, lets you control the technology with the
same movements and feel of an acoustic hi-hat. You can do
foot splashes, “swish” sounds and even closing it tighter will
create changes in the nuance and/or pitch of the sound (p. 26).
The interface is very easy to navigate. With the many buttons
on the top panel, you won’t lose time searching for functions.
Clear graphics, icons and menus guide you through the
simple and complex operations. No matter where you are
inside the TD-20, pushing the KIT button always brings you
back to the main kit page. Even still, please read this manual.
Cables Are Easy To Organize
The MDS-20 stand allows you to pass the cables through the
pipes, making easy to transport and set up again. It
streamlines the look as well.

Top Quality Signal
Processing
Each KIT can have it’s own tempo setting. The visual indicator
helps you count off the tempo of a song without needing to
hear the click (p. 59). Tap Tempo function allows you to set
tempo from all trigger inputs or the preview button (Tap
tempo, p. 53).
Each instrument assigned to trigger 1–15 head and rim inputs
chorus, pitch shifter, phaser, ring modulator, overdrive, etc.
(p. 40) There’s also Ambience, with a new room “shape”
feature in addition to being able to change wall materials, size,
etc. (p. 40) A master Compressor/EQ lets you apply it to
individual kits or for all of the kits (p. 43). All effects are
simple to understand and use. Via the top panel, you can also
turn all the effects on or off individually.

external MIDI source (SPD type pad etc.) and feature a 128
note map. And with 262 backing instruments available, there
are sounds for all types of music (p. 98).
V-LINK function
V-LINK (
) is a function that allows music and
images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect
two or more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy
performing a wide range of visual effects that are linked to the
expressive elements of a music performance. By using the TD-
20 and Edirol DV-7PR together, connected pads can be used to
switch the Edirol DV-7PR’s images (clips/palettes) (p. 84).
Sequencer
Recording and playing back patterns is very easy. The 6 part
backing section, (including drums) can be used for live or
recording performances. Recording directly from the pads to
the percussion part is a great new feature, too (p. 75).

About the Gate Time
Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only
in response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note off”
messages. However general-purpose sound modules or
samplers do receive the note-off messages that are
transmitted and respond by turning off the sound.
Pedal:
Pedal hi-hat (Foot closed)
Note No.: 0 (C -)–127 (G 9), OFF
OFF: Note messages are not transmitted.
Gate: 0.1–8.0 (s)
For example, if you are triggering a “loop” in a sampler,
or other sounds then the gate time parameter is very
important. With the factory defaults (preset values), the
transmitted gate time is set to the minimum value.
See the column.

Eliminate Crosstalk Between
Pads [F4 (XTALK)]
When two pads are mounted on the same stand, hitting one
pad may trigger the sound from another pad unintentionally.
(This is called crosstalk.) Eliminate this by adjusting Xtalk
Cancel on the pad that is sounding inadvertently.
* If the value is set too high, and two pads are played
simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully may
not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the
minimum value required to prevent crosstalk.
In some cases, you can prevent crosstalk between two
pads by increasing the distance between them.

Chapter 5. Trigger Settings [TRIGGER]
Rim Shots Response (Rim Shot Adjust)
You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with
the Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger
signals if they occur within the specified amount of time
after the previous trigger signal was received. Retrigger
Cancel detects the attenuation of the trigger signal level,
and triggers the sound after internally determining which
trigger signals were actually generated when the head
was struck, while weeding out the other false trigger
signals that need not trigger a sound.
When a PD-125/120/105/80R or RT-5S (trigger) is connected,
you can adjust the sensitivity of the rim response.
RimShot Adjust: 0–8.0
There are some cases that you have a rim sound unexpectedly
when you hit the head strongly. You can improve this
situation with decreasing the value of “RimShot Adjust.”
* When you set the value too small, it might be difficult to play
the rim sound.
Double Triggering Prevention
(Mask Time)
When playing a kick trigger the beater can bounce back and
hit the head a second time immediately after the intended
note—with acoustic drums sometimes the beater stays against
the head—this causes a single hit to “double trigger” (two
sounds instead of one). The Mask Time setting helps to
prevent this. Once a pad has been hit, any additional trigger
signals occurring within the specified “Mask Time” (0–64
Cross Stick Threshold

Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get cross stick

Local Control
Device ID
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-20’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 setting described here is necessary only when you wish to
transmit separate data to two or more TD-20 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.”)
The TD-20’s default mode is with Local Control “ON.”
fig.LocalCtrl.e
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:
Pad
Suppose that when data was saved via bulk dump (p. 77), the
TD-20’s Device ID was set to “17.” When re-transmitting this
data back to the TD-20, it won’t receive if the Device ID is set

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.
* At the factory settings, this is set to “CH16.”
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.
V-LINK Device ID
Set this ID to match the device ID number of the Edirol DV-
7PR which is controlled by the TD-20. If this is set to “128,”
you can control the Edirol DV-7PR regardless of the device ID
number of it.

(Hi-Hat Note Number Border)
The only time you would need to change this setting is

The note number transmitted when you strike the hi-hat will
change depending on the amount of pressure on the hi-hat
pedal. Hi-Hat Note Number Border allows you to adjust the
pedal position at which the note number switches from the
open hi-hat to the closed hi-hat.
At the factory default value (127), the closed hi-hat note
number will be transmitted only if the hi-hat pad is played
with the pedal completely depressed. If you want this note
number to be transmitted when the pedal is slightly raised, set
this to a value such as 90.
