Drum Kits

On this unit, the sound that plays when you strike a pad (snare, kick, cymbal,

etc.) is called an “instrument.” The set of instruments assigned to the pads are

collectively called a “drum kit.” The structure of a drum kit is shown below.

Instrument

An instrumental sound such as a snare drum or kick drum

is called an “instrument.” An instrument is assigned to each

location of a pad that can be struck independently, such as

the pad’s head and rim.

5

For each instrument, you can specify the sound and adjust

its attack and release, etc.

5

You can create a wide range of sounds by editing various

settings for each instrument, such as the type of head, the

depth of the shell, or its ambience.

5

An audio file that you create on your computer can also

be loaded from an SD card into the TD-27 and played as

an instrument (the user sample function).

Drum Kits

This is the set of instruments that are assigned to the pads.
You can make settings that apply to the entire drum kit, such

as specifying the position of the overhead mics that capture

the sound of the entire drum kit, the location in which it’s

being played, and the effects.

Effects

This unit provides effects that apply to individual strike

locations of a pad (such as the pad equalizer), effects that

apply to individual pads (such as the pad compressor), and

effects that apply to the entire drum kit (such as MFX and

master compressor).
