IMPORTANT NOTES  
Power Supply  
Repairs and Data  
301  
452  
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.  
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 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.  
302  
Additional Precautions  
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of  
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.  
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.  
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.  
554  
556  
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.  
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.  
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.  
558aTo 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).  
352aThis device may interfere with radio and television reception.  
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.  
352b  
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,  
558cSince sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and  
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.  
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating 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.  
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 extra-  
neous 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.  
354aDo not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices  
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or  
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat  
can deform or discolor the unit.  
559aWhen you need to transport the unit, package it in the box  
355b  
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you  
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.  
When moved from one location to another where the temper-  
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden-  
sation) 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.  
562  
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 information on cable specifications,  
contact the manufacturer of the cable.  
985  
Maintenance  
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.  
401aFor 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.  
402  
If there is a danger that you might accidentally strike the unit  
during performance, adjust the locations at which Tom 1 (T1)  
and Tom 2 (T2) are attached to the stand, to reduce the gap  
between the pads.  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to  
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Pad Type  
Explanation  
For each Pad, you can select the type of pad you’re using (the pad type) so the TD-4 will ac-  
curately receive the signal from the pad.  
Pad Type:  
KD-8, KD-85, KD-120, PD-8, PD-85, PD-105, PD-125, PDX-8, CY-5, CY-8, CY-14C, CY-12R/C,  
CY-15R, VH-11, OFF  
The “Pad Type” is a collection of settings for various pad-related parameters; it sets these parameters to the appropriate values for each  
type of pad.  
Simply select the pad type that’s appropriate for the pad you’ve connected. Each parameter will be set to the appropriate value, allowing  
you perform optimally.  
If the pad does not respond as expected even though you’ve selected the correct pad type, you can make fine adjustments to each pa-  
rameter as appropriate for your pad.  
*
If you’ve turned this OFF for a pad, and would like to change that pad’s setting to something other than OFF, you’ll need to  
re-select the pad by turning the [-/+] dial in the MENU screen (p. 27).

Parameter/Value  
Explanation  
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad  
is above a determined dynamic level (velocity). This can be used to  
prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads.  
Threshold  
0–16  
fig.Threshold.eps  
Threshold  
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.  
When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the pad is struck lightly. Gradually  
raise the “Threshold” value while striking the pad.  
A
B
C
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for  
your playing style.  
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing ve-  
locity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this curve until  
the response feels as natural as possible.

Display/Parameter  
Parameter/Value  
Explanation  
Specifies the detection time for the trigger signal. Since the rise time  
of the trigger signal waveform may differ slightly depending on the  
characteristics of each pad or acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup),  
you may notice that identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at  
different volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “Scan Time” so  
that your way of playing can be detected more precisely.  
Scan Time  
0.4–4.0 (ms)  
fig.ScanTime.eps  
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually raise the Scan Time value from 0.4 msec,  
until the resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try both soft and loud strikes, and  
make sure that the volume changes appropriately.  
Scan Time  
Time  
*
As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be played increases. Set this to the lowest  
value possible.  
This setting prevents spurious re-triggering. Important if you are us-  
ing acoustic drum triggers. Such triggers can produce altered wave-  
forms, which may also cause inadvertent sounding at Point A in the  
figure (Re-trigger). This occurs in particular at the decaying edge of  
the waveform. Retrig Cancel detects such distortion in and prevents  
re-triggering from occurring.  
Retrig Cancel  
1–16  
fig.Retrigger.eps  
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel” value until re-triggering no longer occurs.  
A
*
Although setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be  
omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value possible while still  
ensuring that there is no retriggering.  
Time  
You can also eliminate this problem of re-triggering 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. Re-trigger 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.

Other Settings  
Display/Parameter  
Parameter/Value  
Explanation  
This setting prevents double triggering.  
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—is  
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 msec) will be ignored.  
Mask Time  
0–64 ms  
Adjust the “Mask Time” value while playing the pad.  
fig.MaskTime.eps  
Mask Time  
When using a kick trigger, try to let the beater bounce back and hit the head very quickly, then  
raise the “Mask Time” value until there are no more sounds made by the beater rebound.  
*
When set to a high value, it will be difficult to play very quickly. Set this to as low a value as  
you can.  
Time  
Sound not produced  
If two or more sounds are being produced when you strike the head just once, then adjust  
Retrig Cancel.  
This setting cancels “crosstalk,” which means that when you play  
one pad you hear a sound coming from another pad. This can hap-  
pen when two pads are installed on the same stand. In some cases  
you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the  
two mounted pads.  
Xtalk Cancel  
0–80%  
In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the  
distance between the two mounted pads.  
Crosstalk Example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also sounds  
Raise the “Xtalk Cancel” for the pad being used for tom 1. The tom 1 pad will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.  
*
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.  
When a PD-125/105/85, PDX-8, PD-9/8/7, CY series pad, VH-11, or RT-  
10S is connected, you can adjust the relation between your playing  
Rim Gain

velocity (force) on the rim/edge and the resulting volume level.  
Higher value allows the rim/edge to produce a loud volume even  
when played softly. Lower value will keep the rim/edge producing a  
low volume even when played forcefully.  
When a PD-125/105/85, PDX-8, or RT-10S is connected, you can ad-  
just the sensitivity of the rim response.  
Rim 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 de-  
creasing the value of “RimShot Adjust.” When you set the value too  
small, it might be difficult to play the rim sound.

Protecting Modified Kits and Settings (Edit Lock)  
When this function is turned on, editing of the kits remains possible. However, any changes made will be ignored once the power is  
turned off.  
This is especially useful for in-store purposes and /or music shows. Or let’s imagine that you have modified many kits, and some friends  
come over to your place, and start playing your TD-4. Using this Edit Lock function allows you to protect your kits in case someone  
accidently changes some of the settings.  
Once you make this setting, it will be remembered even when the power is turned off.

Troubleshooting  
This section outlines points to check if you experience problems, and what to do about them.  
Pad Not Playing Correctly  
Could you be recording?  
Is the pad type setting correct?  
Set the Pad Type (p. 35).  
If you press the [  
] (Rec) button to record your performance  
(p. 17), the demo patterns will temporarily be erased, but you  
will again be able to hear the demo patterns after you turn the  
power off, then on again.  
Is the pad’s sensitivity setting correct?  
Set the Sensitivity (p. 35).  
*
For fullest expression in performance, we recommend the  
exclusive use of Roland pads.  
Recorded data has disappeared  
Is the pad’s mesh head tensioned evenly?  
Could you have turned off the power?  
Refer to the owner’s manual for the pad you are using, then  
adjust the mesh head tension. This is very important for  
proper triggering.  
When you turn off the power after recording, the recorded  
data will be erased; the next time you turn on the power, the  
demo patterns will be recalled from internal memory.  
Can’t play the bell sound even though

Could the pad type be “OFF”?  
Make the correct Pad Type setting (p. 35).  
Are you playing the rim shot correctly?  
For a rim shot, use the stick’s shoulder to strike the rim of the  
pad (p. 13).  
Is the Rim Adjust set to “0” ?  
Set this to anything other than “0” (p. 44).  
You need to set the “Rim Adjust” when using the PD-85, PD-  
105, or PD-125 to play rim shots.

Set the Ambience Depth to a value other than “0” (p. 30).  
Is the MIDI channel set correctly?  
In order to transmit MIDI messages to an external MIDI sound  
module, both devices need to be set to the same MIDI channel  
(p. 41).  
Sound in Headphones Distorted  
Sometimes, setting the output too high  
certain tones can the sound seem distorted.  
Turn down the [VOLUME] knob. This will reduce the distortion.  
Have you specified the correct note number  
for the pad?  
Set the pad’s note number to a value other than “OFF” (p. 41).  
Make sure that the pad is set to the same note number as the  
sound on your external MIDI sound module.  
Output Sound is Distorted  
The note numbers can be specified independently for each kit.  
Depending on the instrument settings, some  
slight distortion may occur in the sound.  
Others  
In the drum kit settings, adjust the mixer Pad Volume (p. 29).  
You can suppress distortion by setting the pan near the  
center. In the drum kit settings, adjust the mixer pan setting  
(p. 29).  
Settings are not saved  
There is no “Save Settings” operation on the TD-4 itself. The  
settings you modify are saved when you turn off the power.  
Be sure to turn off the power by pressing the [POWER] button.
