Roland TD-10 - Manual (Page 101)

Recording
Performance on the pads or on an external MIDI keyboard
can be recorded. On the TD-10, your performance will be
recorded exactly as you play it, including hi-hat control
pedal movements and Positional Sensing.
* Brush swish/sweeping and choke (p. 35) cannot be recorded.
* Please keep in mind that even though there are 50 user patterns,
the amount of memory available will be determined by how
much data is recorded into each pattern.
■ Basic recording procedure
The procedure is the same when recording with pads or
with a MIDI keyboard.
1. Select an empty pattern

before you record.
