Roland TD-10 - Manual (Page 46)

If you are using pads made by anoth-
er manufacturer
If when using pads made by another manufacturer, they do
not perform satisfactorily, you will need to adjust the trigger
parameters. Refer to “Basic settings for the trigger parame-
ters (BASIC)” (p. 109) in the “Advanced Use,” and make the
needed changes or settings.
■ Specific pads are too loud or
too soft
• If you are listening in monaural, use the MASTER L
(MONO) jack ONLY, and do not insert a plug into the R
jack.
• Are each of the [GROUP FADERS] sliders in an appropri-
ate position?
Move all the faders to the same volume,then re-adjust for
the desired balance.
■ Rim shots do not sound
• Are you using a PD-7, PD-9 or PD-120 pad?
Rim shots cannot be played on other pads.
• Are you using a monaural cable to connect the pad with
the TD-10?
If so, only the head portion will trigger sound. Use the
stereo cable included with the PD-7, PD-9 or PD-120.
• Are the trigger type settings correct?
■ Rim shots do not sound cor-
rectly
• When playing on the PD-7 or PD-9, strike the rim and
head simultaneously. Simply striking the rim alone will
not produce sound.
• Are the trigger type settings correct?
• If you are using a PD-120 as the snare, check the “Rim
Sensitivity” setting (p.110).
■ Volume is low when you play
using brushes
• Since the impact of a brush is lower than the impact of a
stick, you need to use a drum kit that has trigger settings
geared for brushes, one displaying a symbol such as the
following in the lower right of the KIT display page.

■ Strike location is not detected.
• Are the trigger type settings correct?
• When using a PD-100 or PD-120, is the head tension
adjusted correctly?
• When using a PD-7 or PD-9, is the Polarity Switch set to “-
(Roland)”?
• Strike location can be detected only for trigger number 2
(SNARE) and trigger number 10 (RIDE).
