EDIT

Editing is modifying a sound, effect, or musical data in the
sequencer.

Effects

The TD-10 has a variety of digital effects such as reverb,
delay, flanger, chorus, and phaser.It’s sometimes abbreviat-
ed in the TD-10’s display as “FX.”

Equalizer (EQ)

An equalizer usually divides sound into high, mid & low
frequency ranges, allowing their balance to be adjusted. The
TD-10 provides 2-band equalizers for the instruments (not
usable with instruments assigned to the AUX1, 2 jacks), and
a 3-band equalizer for the total sound of the TD-10.

Expansion Board

This is a board (optional) containing more instrumental
sounds to be added to the TD-10, and is installed in the slot
on the bottom panel.

FD-7

Foot Switch

A separately sold foot switch (BOSS FS-5U) can be used to
select kits, and perform operations such as sequencer play-
back/stop etc.

and as a foot switch for other devices or instruments.

effects unit.

FX Send Level

unit.

Function Buttons

These are the four buttons [F1][F2][F3][F4] located below the
display. The function of these buttons will change depend-
ing on what’s in the screen, and the names of their current
functions are shown in the bottom of the display.

Hi-Hat Control Pedal (FD-7)

ing fine adjustments. When making on/off settings, pressing
this button will turn the setting ON. If making large changes
in the value of a setting, the VALUE dial is quicker.

MEMORY CARD

An external storage media on which TD-10 drum kits or
sequencer data can be saved. It is inserted into the memory
card slot (MEMORY CARD) located on the rear panel of the
TD-10. The TD-10 can use “M-512E” memory cards.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

An international standard for allowing electronic musical
instruments to communicate. Virtually all electronic musical
instruments sold today support MIDI, allowing those instru-
ments (even ones made by manufacturers other than
Roland) to be used to play the TD-10. Pads connected to the
TD-10 can also play external sound modules or samplers as
well via MIDI.

MIDI connector

These connectors are used to expand the TD-10’s functionali-
ty, such as synchronizing (the tempo) with other devices, to
record performances, and to store data. Use a MIDI cable to
connect other MIDI-compatible instruments or devices to the
TD-10. MIDI connectors are used ONLY if you are using an
external MIDI device.
