Roland TD-10 - Manual (Page 87)

Here is where you can virtually change the acoustics of the
room in which you are playing the drums. The parameters
available here let you select actual room sizes and wall mate-
rials to easily get your desired sound. You can also change
the positions of the “room” microphones.
An easy way to understand this is to change the type of stu-
dio as explained below in “Selecting the studio/room” in
“Settings for the entire drum kit.”
