Important Notes
Copyright © 2015 ROLAND CORPORATION
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an
inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending on the way
in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise
may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible
noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet,
connect a power supply noise lter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them o.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface
on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or
mar the surface.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on
top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled
on the surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away
using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of
equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself
against the irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit of
creating regular backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any
stored content that has been lost.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—
never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through oors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance others nearby.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage
of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as
a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during
product testing. This does not aect the performance or
functionality of the product, and you may continue using it
with condence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but
this will not aect the pad’s function.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions when handling
external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe
all the precautions that were supplied with the external
memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/writing is in
progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity, discharge all
static electricity from your person before handling the
device.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make
a backup of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to
write down the needed information. Although we will do our
utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry
out repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section
is physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may
be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.

* Carefully insert the memory cards all the way in—until it is rmly in place.
* Once everything is properly connected (p. 13), be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on
equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will
operate normally.
* Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear
some sound when switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
* In the interest of product improvement, the specications and/or appearance of this unit are subject to change without prior
notice.
* Some memory card types or memory cards from some manufacturers may not record or play back properly on the unit.
* The memory card write protect feature (LOCK)
Write protect switch
The contents of the memory card can be protected by write protecting it.
To write protect a card, slide the write protect switch on the side of the memory card to the “LOCK”
position. Unlock write protect to delete data on the card.
* All memory cards eventually wear out. We recommend that you consider the memory card not as a permanent storage site,
but as a place to store data temporarily. We also recommend that you back up important data onto the another media that is
supported by your unit.

• The SPD-20X features 747 dierent internal instruments, including drum set sounds, percussion sounds from around the world, dance sounds, sound eects, phrase loops, and more,
that can be used in a wide variety of musical genres.
• Each sound can be edited using a wide variety of sound parameters, including level, pitch,
decay, pan, velocity curve, and eect send.
• Using the Layer function, dierent Velocity Curves can be assigned to each of two sounds,
and the two sounds mixed (or switched) by your playing dynamics.
• The on-board digital eects unit (Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flanger) allows you to set the
eect depth independently for each sound assigned to a pad.
• Four external dual trigger inputs are provided, allowing you to connect kick trigger units
(KD-7,KD-9 ; sold separately) or pads (PD-8, CY-5, CY-8; sold separately), for
playing in conjunction with the SPD-20X’s pads. When you connect the PD-8, or CY-5, CY-8
you can enjoy such drum techniques as snare rim shots and cymbal choking.
• When a hi-hat control pedal (FD-8; sold separately) is connected, you have continuous con-
trol (from closed to open) of the hi-hat sounds.
• Settings for the SPD-20X’s 8 pads, 4 external pads, hi-hat control pedal, and the eects unit are
stored as one of 99 Patches. This means that a single SPD-20X is able to store and instantly
recall 99 dierent percussion “sets,” covering virtually any style of music you can imagine.
• Using the Patch Chain function, you can create and store a sequence of up to 16 Patches
which can be selected in a predetermined order (convenient for use within
a song). The SPD-
20X can store eight such Patch Chains.
• For each pad, you can set two independent MIDI transmit channels and Velocity Curves, so
that your playing dynamics can control external and internal sound generators.

• The professional Equalizer (EQ) and Compressor (Comp) allows you to create your unique sound
from patch to patch. Even with the same set of instruments, dierent Equalizer and Compressor
can lead to totally dierent feelings. With rich adjustable parameters, you have full control of your
Equalizer and Compressor.

CHAPTER 2 Using the SPD-20X by Itself
Internal Setup and Parameter Settings (Edit)
This Chapter explains the basic structure of the SPD-20X and how it functions. Before we get into
details,you should have an overall understanding of the unit.
What Kind of Instrument is the SPD-20X?
The SPD-20X is an electronic percussion instrument that produces sound when its pads are struck.
This type of device is usually called a MIDI pad controller. The SPD-20X includes a sound generator
(745 sounds with 16-bit dynamic range) and digital effects unit in a compact and lightweight
package. Byconnecting external pads or pedals (sold separately), you can obtain the same musical
expressivity fromthe SPD-20X as you might enjoy with an acoustic drum kit. In addition, the SPD20X is MIDI compatible,meaning that it can be connected to any other MIDI-compatible device
(sequencer, sampler, etc.) regard-less of the manufacturer. This allows you to create a very powerful
music system.
Product Overview
• Self-contained compact MIDI pad controller
• 8 dynamics-sensitive pads
• 745 sounds with 16-bit dynamic range
• Built-in digital effects
•Expandable with external pads/pedals
(such as the PD-8, CY-5, KD-7, and FD-8)
• Teams up with various MIDI units
(such as sequencer, sampler, etc.)

Pad section
This section has 8 velocity sensitive pads that respond to changes in your playing dynamics.
Trigger Interface section
This section sends the trigger signals (electric signals produced when you strike a pad) to the
Sound Generating section.
Sound Generating section
This section receives signals from the trigger interface or MIDI IN, and produces sound in response.
The SPD-20X contains 745 sounds and up to 64 can be played simultaneously.
Effects section
This section adds eects (Flanger, Chorus, Reverb, Delay) to the sound from the sound generator. You
can select from 23 eects combinations.
Play Mode and Edit Mode
The SPD-20X has two modes; the Play mode and the Edit mode. Press [EDIT] to switch between them.

assigned to each pad.
The SOUND group contains 7 parameters: INST, LEVEL, PITCH, DECAY, PAN, CURVE and FX SEND.
MEMO
Sound parameter settings for each pad are stored in each Patch.
Selecting a Sound (INST)
Each sound assigned to a pad is called an Instrument. The SPD-20X contains 747 such Instruments,
and the Instrument assign settings determine which sounds will be played. The 747 Instruments
are grouped into the following categories.

The Hi-Hat Cymbals for pedal control “instruments PEDAL_HH 1 – PEDAL_HH 17” can be used eectively
only when a Hi-Hat controller (FD-8; separately sold) is used.
If the Instrument assign setting for any Pad is set to “OFF”, there will be no sound when you strike that
Pad.
If you make the Hold Pedal settings, then with some of the sounds, you can use the footswitch to sustain
the sound. For the instruments that can be lengthened with the footswitch, refer to Instrument List.
When an Instrument is selected, by pressing PATCH/VALUE [+] while holding down [-] (or viceversa), you
can jump to the next Instrument group.
About Phrase Loop
Some Instruments are designed as Phrase Loops.
When you select a Phrase Loop, you don’t just hear single notes; instead, a short phrase typical
of that musical genre is played. You cannot play more than one Phrase Loop at the same time. To
force a Phrase Loop tostop sounding, select “MUTE” and strike the pad. No sound is heard from a
pad that has been set for “MUTE.”
23
Adjusting the Volume (LEVEL)
This parameter determines the volume (0–15). At a setting of 0 there will be no sound.
Adjusting the Pitch (PITCH)
This parameter determines the pitch of the Instrument (-24 – +24). Each step will change the pitch
by asemitone (100 cents).
NOTE
For some Instruments, raising the pitch beyond a certain point will not be heard.
Adjusting the Decay (DECAY)
This parameter adjusts the decay of the Instrument (-31–+31). Higher settings will result in a
longer decay time.
Level
NOTE
For some Instruments, raising the pitch beyond a certain point will not be possible.
Changing the decay setting for a Phrase Loop Instrument changes the attenuation time at the end of
the loop.

Adding Effects to the Sound (Effect Parameters)
The SPD-20X has four on-board eects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, and Flanger. There are three eects
parameters: FX TYPE, FX TIME and FX LEVEL.
MEMO
Effects settings are stored independently for each Patch, so you can set up the ideal effects for each
Patch.
Chapter 5 includes a section on “Taking Advantage of the On-board Eects”, and we suggest that you
read this as well.
Select an Effect (FX TYPE)
This parameter selects one of the 23 eects combinations (1–23).
The Eect Indicator for the selected eect type will light to show the eect being used.
Effect Indicator Explanation
Rev Reverb sound Adds reverberation to the sound
Cho Chorus sound Adds breadth to the sound
Fln Flanger sound Applies undulations to the sound
Dly Delay sound Adds an echo-like effect
MEMO
For details on each eect type, refer to Eect List in Chapter 5.
The eects are toggled on/o with each press of [FX ON/OFF].
2
Setting Effect Duration and Rate (FX TIME)
This sets the duration of reverberation, or the modulation rate (1–32). The higher the value, the longer
the reverb duration, or the higher the modulation rate. The result will be dierent depending on the
type of eect. Refer to Eect List in Chapter 5.
Adjust the Effect Depth for the Entire Patch (FX LEVEL)
This parameter corresponds to the eect return level on a mixer, and higher settings will result in a
deeper eect (0–15). At a value of 0 there will be no eect.
MEMO
NOTE
The depth of the effect applied to each Instrument (assigned to a pad) is determined by FX SEND in the
SOUND parameter group.
This eect level parameter will have an audible result only if the [FX ON/OFF] setting is on, and if the
Instrument parameter FX SEND for a pad is set above 0.

Applying Equalizer (EQ) and Compressor (COMP) to the Patch
The SPD-20X has a new 4-band equalizer and powerful compressor with full range of settings.
MEMO
EQ and COMP are patch eect that goes with the patch. It can be saved when switching to another patch and
stored on SD card.
Equalizer (EQ)
Equalizer is a function used for altering the frequency response of sound output. It can be used to
remove or create resonance, and make a unique set of instruments.
The equalizer in SPD-20X consists of 3 parameters: Frequency (Freq), Gain (Gain), and Filter Q (Q)
and 4 lters: Low, LowMid, HiMid and Hi.

Compressor (COMP)
OUT
0
dB
Dierent EQ settings can be set to each patch. And they can be saved and copied.
The Compressor reduces the dynamic range of audio. The main purpose of reducing dynamic
range is to allow the audio to be amplied without clipping. Thus, a louder sound output can be
made if compressor is applied.
The compressor in SPD-20X consists of 5 parameters: Threshold, OutputGain, Ratio, Attack and
Release.
Threshold: The level above which compression is applied to the audio.
Ratio: The amount of compression applied to the audio once it passes the threshold
level. The higher the Ratio the more the loud parts of the audio will be compressed.
This example shows how dierent ratio works when Threshold is at -24dB:

Attack Time: How soon the compressor starts to compress the dynamics after the threshold
is reached. Short attack times will result in a fast response to sudden, loud sounds, but will make
the changes in volume much more obvious to listeners.
Release Time: How soon the compressor starts to release the volume level back to normal
after the level drops below the threshold. A long time value will tend to lose quiet sounds that
come after loud ones, but will avoid the volume being raised too much in quiet circumstances.
OutputGain: Amplies the audio after compression to a peak level of 0 dB. This might help
making the sound louder after compression.

pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly. This parameter applies to all 8 pads.
NOTE
MEMO
Factory Trigger Sensitivity (TRIG SENS) settings for the internal pad reect the average user´s pref erences. If
these settings produce good results for you, then there is no need to change the Trigger Sensitivity values.
This parameter is set for all 8 pads, i.e., the same value applies to all pads. However, this parameter can be set
independently for each connected external pad. Trigger Sensitivity (TRIG SENS) settings are common to all
patches.

Setting the Pad’s Minimum Level (TRIG THRESHOLD)
By adjusting the TRIG THRESHOLD in the SYSTEM parameter group you can have a pad produce
a trigger signal only when struck with more than a certain level of force (a “threshold”). This can
be used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to extraneous vibrations from another pad.
However, if you strike the pad with a force less than the Trigger Threshold, it will not sound. In the
diagram below, the pad will sound for 2, but not for 1 or 3. This parameter can be set over a range
of 0 –15.

CHAPTER 3 Connecting External Pads or Pedals
You can add external pads to the SPD-20X. Furthermore, you can connect a hi-hat control pedal (FD-8;
sold separately) to control the opening and closing of the hi-hat.

Precautions When Connecting a External Pad
The external pad, cymbal and kick trigger unit are connected to the Trigger Input jacks 1, 2, and 3, or
the HH CTRL/TRIG 4 jack. (However, in this case, the Trigger Input switch is set to TRIG 4.)
NOTE
MEMO
You may hear a brief sound when you change the position of the switch. This is normal, and should not be a
cause for concern.
To perform with even greater expression, we recommend the use of the following specialized pads from
Roland PD-8, CY-5, CY-8, KD-7 and KD-9.
When you use these pads, it is necessary to set the pad type with the TRIGGER parameter TRIG TYPE.
The four Trigger Input jacks provided with the SPD-20X are already Dual Trigger Type. This is to allow
processing of two types of signals, for when you strike the head and for rim shots, when you connect a
PD-8, CY-5 or CY-8.
42
Precautions when connecting a Kick pedal (Kick Trigger Unit)
When using a kick pedal, a specialized Kick Trigger Unit (KD-7; sold separately) can be compatible.
A connecting cable and beater are included with
the KD-7, and you may use a favorite bass drum
pedal to control the SPD-20X sounds. Set the
Polarity Switch on the KD-7 to the “-”(negative)
position, then connect to an TRIGGER INPUT jack
(1–3), or to the HH CTRL/TRIG 4 jack. (However,
in the later case, be sure to set the External input
select switch to TRIG 4.)
By connecting two sets of units and pedals, you can use dual bass drum techniques. There are two
ways to do this. You can use the mix in jack of one KD-7 and connect the two sets in serial to one SPD20X input, or you can connect each KD-7 to its own SPD-20X Trigger input. The rst method uses only
one SPD-20X TRIGGER INPUT, and the second method uses two SPD-20X TRIGGER INPUTs. However,
the second method allows you to control two dierent Instruments, so that you can assign dierentsounding Kick Drums to each side, and change the pitch and Pan settings for a more expressive sound.
Kick Trigger Unit (KD-7)
+ Kick Pedal
NOTE
When connecting two KD-7s with the KD-7’s Mix In jack, the Kick Trigger signal is slightly weakened. In
such cases, when connecting the KD-7 set the Trigger Input Trigger Sensitivity slightly higher.

How to Play a Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke with a PD-8
Center of Pad
If a PD-8 is connected, you will be able to use Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke playing technique.
Rim Shot
By playing Rim Shot, you can play two types of sound from one pad. This can be done with a PD-8.
MEMO
NOTE
MEMO
At the time the unit was shipped from the factory, the Snare Drum Rim Shot Instrument was set to
Patch 1 Trigger Input 2; conrm this by actually striking the pad.
Normal shot: Strike only the head (center)
Rim shot: Strike both the head and the rim (perimeter) simultaneously.
Head of the Pad
Rim Shot
When playing rim shots, striking only the rim does not produce a solid rim shot sound. Be sure
to strike both the head and rim at the same time. With rim shots how hard the drum is struck is
detected in the head portion.
With the SPD-20X, you can choose two separate MIDI sound modules for a dual trigger pad, i.e. send
the “head only” to MIDI channel 10, and the “rim” to MIDI channel 11. This allows you to control
instruments from two MIDI systems with one PD-8.
Head of the Pad
Rim of the Pad
44
Cymbal Choke
With PD-8, physically grasping the rim of the pad just after the pad is struck stops the sound as
it is made. Before using cymbal choke function on PD-8, please set its TRIG TYPE as CY-5 or CY-8.
This allows you to make the same sound you get when you stop the cymbal or other instrument
from sounding with your hand just after striking it.
Precautions When Connecting a Hi-Hat Control Pedal
Connect the hi-hat control pedal (FD-8; sold separately) to the HH CTRL/TRIG 4 jack, and set the Trigger
input switch to HH CTRL. When using an FD-8 you will be able to control various Instrument parameters
in real time.

Using a Footswitch in Place of the Hi-Hat Pedal
In place of a hi-hat control pedal, you can also control the hi-hat with a footswitch (DP-2 Pedal Switch;
sold separately) connected to the HH CTRL/TRIG 4 jack. However, with this arrangement, techniques
such as half open cannot be played.

45
Using a Footswitch as a Sustain Pedal or a Patch Shift Pedal
A footswitch (FS-5U; sold separately) connected to the FOOT SW jack can be used as a sustain (hold)
pedal to control specied Instruments (See the Instrument List on page 76 – 83 with Hold mark) and
external MIDI sound modules. When you depress the pedal, a Control Change message (Sustain) will
be transmitted, instructing the MIDI sound modules to continue sounding the notes that are currently
being played.

Settings for External Pads or Kick Trigger Units
Setting External Pad Tone and MIDI Parameters
Sound and MIDI parameters can be set for external pads or Kick Trigger Units (connected to the TRIG
INPUT jacks) in the same way as for the on-board pads.
If a PD-8, CY-5, CY-8 is connected, each parameter can be set independently for the head and rim.
The method for setting external pad tones is the same as that for internal pads. Make settings after
referring to “Selecting and Adjusting Sounds (Sound Parameters)”. With external pads, you can make
settings for both the head and the rim. To make settings for the head, strike only the head. Pad name on
top right corner of the display will show EX1H, if external pad on TRIGGER INPUT 1 is triggered. To make
settings for the rim, strike only the rim. EX1R will be showed on the top right screen, if external pad on
TRIGGER INPUT 1 is triggered (Rim settings apply only to the PD-8, CY-5 and CY-8).
Except for the option of making rim settings, MIDI parameter settings for external pads are made the
same way as those for internal heads. Make settings after referring to “MIDI Parameter Settings”.
It is better not to set and layer two different tones and Velocity Curves using the rim’s Pad Bank, since the
NOTE
relative strength is dicult to control precisely.
How to Edit the Trigger Parameters
You can set the sensitivity and make other settings for external pads (TRIGGER parameters). There
are four types of TRIGGER parameters available (TRIG SENS, TRIG THRESHOLD, TRIG TYPE, and TRIG
CURVE).
Settings for some of these parameters can control both internal and external pads separately;
others can control the external pads only.
Parameter Internal Pad External Pad (4 Independent)

For more on how to connect the pedal, refer to “Precautions When Connecting a Hi-Hat Control Pedal”.
MEMO
Hi-Hat control pedal settings are global setting, it will not be saved to each Patch.
Controlling the Opening and Closing of the Hi-Hat (HH)
The pedal works as a hi-hat control pedal controlling sounds (PEDAL_HH 1 – PEDAL_HH 17)
assigned to a pad. Stepping on the pedal while striking the pad produces a closed hi-hat sound,
and by letting up on the pedal a little at a time, you continuously change the tone and length of
the sound from closed, to half-opened, to opened. Additionally, you can get a“foot close” sound
by stepping on the pedal more forcefully. You can also get a great “foot open (splash Hi-Hat)”
sound, similar to the sound you get as you lift your foot o the hi-hat.
MEMO
NOTE
Set the volume of the pedal hi-hat sound produced with the pedal in PDL LEVEL. For more on how to
make these settings, refer to “Adjustivg the Volume of the Pedal Hi-Hat Sound”. (p52)
If a hi-hat sound (PEDAL_HH 1 – PEDAL_HH 17) is assigned to two or more pads, the pedal hi-hat will
sound for the highest-priority pad as shown in next page. Only the hi-hat with the highest priority can
be fully controlled by hi-hat pedal. For other trigger assigned with PEDAL_HH instrument, you can only
control open hi-hat decay with the pedal.

CHAPTER 4 Connecting MIDI Devices
(Stereo Set)
MIDI Connections
When connected to other MIDI devices, the SPD-20X can be used in a wide variety of musically creative
ways. For example, it can be connected to a sequencer as a pad controller for real time input, and its
onboard sound generator can be layered with external sound modules. Other applications such as using
a sequencer to automatically select SPD-20X Patches is also possible.
Example of one way to connect when using the SPD-20 to control an external sound
module.

About MIDI
MIDI is an acronym for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a standard by which electronic
musical Instruments and computers can exchange musical data. The SPD-20X conforms to the MIDI
specication and can be connected to other devices to either control, or be controlled.
How MIDI Data is Sent and Received
First, we will briey explain how MIDI data is sent and received.
MIDI connectors
MIDI data is sent and received through the following connectors. Use a MIDI cable to connectors these
connectors to other devices.
Audio Equipment
4
NOTE
MIDI IN: receives data from other MIDI devices
MIDI OUT: transmits data to other MIDI devices
MIDI THRU: re-transmits the data received via MIDI IN
The SPD-20X does not have a MIDI THRU connector.
It is possible to connect (“daisy chain”) several MIDI devices using
the MIDI THRU connectors, but you should keep the total length
of MIDI cables within 10 meters, to prevent possible reception
errors.
53
MIDI connectors
MIDI allows you to independently control two or more devices over a single MIDI cable. This is possible
because MIDI provides for multiple channels of control. You can think of MIDI channels as being similar
to television channels. Although many broadcast channels are in the air at any one time (many channels
of MIDI data are moving through a single cable), a television set receives only the channel to which it is
set (the MIDI device receives only the channel to which it is set).
MEMO
TV Station A
TV Station B
TV Station C
TV messages from various TV Stations are sent through the antenna’s cable.
MIDI provides sixteen channels, 1–16, and the receiving device will only receive data when its receive
channel matches the Transmit Channel. In the following diagram, playing the keyboard will cause only
sound module B to play.

With the SPD-20X, you can set the MIDI Channel (MIDI CH).

Main Types of MIDI Data Used by the SPD-20X
A wide variety of musical data can be transmitted by MIDI, with a different type of MIDI message
provided for each type of data. MIDI messages can be broadly categorized into two groups: information
that is differentiated by channel (Channel messages) and information that is not differentiated by
channel (System messages).
Data differentiated by channel (Channel messages)
These messages carry musical performance data. Normally, these messages do most of the work. The
result that each type of message produces will depend on the settings of the sound module.
• Note messages
These messages notify the sound generator that a pad has been struck. (A keyboard would transmit
these messages when keys are played.) Note messages convey the following information.
Note Number: Each note message (Note On or Note O) carries the Note Number which was assigned
to that pad (a number indicating the note position on a keyboard).
Note On: This message is transmitted when a pad is struck (when a key is played).
Note O: This message is transmitted when the specied Gate Time has elapsed after the Note On
message (when a key is released).
Velocity: Each note message contains data indicating how strongly the pad was struck (how strongly
the key was played).
54
The Note Numbers fall within the range of 0–127, with middle C (C4) as number 60.
Note numbers usually specify the pitch of the sound to be produced, but for rhythm sound generators,
they specify the type of drum sound (the Instrument) which is to be played.
MEMO
MEMO
MEMO
With the SPD-20X, Note Numbers for transmitting and receiving are set with the MIDI parameter NOTE #.
• Aftertouch messages
Aftertouch messages are transmitted by some keyboards when you press down on the keyboard
after playing a note. The degree of pressure (aftertouch) can thus be used to control various
aspects of the sound. There are two types of aftertouch messages. Data which is transmitted
independently for each key is called Polyphonic Key Pressure, and data which is transmitted for the
overall keyboard (without dierentiating between individual keys) is called Channel Key Pressure.
The SPD-20X transmits Key AfterTouch messages when the rim area of a pad (CY-5, CY-8) is squeezed or
released. When the SPD-20X receives Key AfterTouch messages from another MIDI device, its sound will be
aected in the same way as when the rim area of a pad is squeezed.
• Program Change messages (1–128)
These messages are usually used to select sounds.
The SPD-20X can transmit Program Change messages to select Patches on external sound modules . When
the SPD-20X receives a Program Change message from another MIDI device, the Patch will change.
• Control Change messages
These messages convey various types of information that make a musical performance more expressive.
Each message carries a control number that indicates which function it is to control. The result will
depend on the MIDI device.
MEMO
The SPD-20X transmits movements of the hi-hat control pedal as Control Change messages.
When it receives Control Change messages from another MIDI device, its sound will be aected in the
same way as when the pedal is moved.
4
55
MIDI Parameter Settings
If you wish to use the SPD-20X to control another MIDI sound module, or use another MIDI device
to control the SPD-20X, you will need to set the MIDI parameters.
MEMO
You can set MIDI parameters for each pad in a pad bank (A and B), allowing you to control external
sound modules on two channels. Additionally, MIDI parameters can be set to Patches.
For more on how to set MIDI parameters, refer to Setting MIDI parameters.
How the MIDI Parameters Work
MIDI Channel (MIDI CH)
Set this parameter to match the receive channel of the MIDI sound module you have connected. If
you want a pad to play only the SPD-20X’s sounds, set this parameter to “OFF.”
Using the Pads to Play External Sound Modules
When playing external sound modules, Note messages are sent through the MIDI Transmit
MEMO
1–16:
Channels set here. If you nd it unnecessary to make any special setting for this, just set it to 10 (the
initial value).
If you switch Patches while setting Program Changes (PGM CH), the Program Number is sent through
the MIDI CH (1–16) set here.
When You Are Not Sending MIDI Messages
OFF: MIDI messages are not transmitted.
56
Note Number (NOTE #)
Set this parameter to the sound (note) of the MIDI sound module you want to play from that pad
(0–127/OFF).

When setting the same Note Numbers to a number of pads within the same Patch, the same Note
Numbers and Note Messages are transmitted from each pad. If a note assigned to 2 or more pads is
received, only one pad will be expressed.

Normally one Instrument will be assigned one Note Number. However, a hi-hat sound (PEDAL_
HH 1 – PEDAL_HH 17) controlled by a hi-hat control pedal will automatically be given three
note numbers; the displayed Note Number and the two note numbers immediately below it.
Only the highest Note Number will be displayed.

For example, suppose that PEDAL_HH 1 has Note Number 46 assigned to it. With the pedal
depressed, if you strike the pad to which PEDAL_HH 1 is assigned, Note Number 42 will be sent.
If you strike the pad without depressing the pedal, Note Number 46 will be sent. If you depress
the pedal without striking the pad, Note Number 44 will be sent.

Gate Time (GATE TIME)
This parameter determines the length of time that the MIDI sound module will produce sound (0.1
sec ond–4.0 seconds, ALT).
NOTE
NOTE
MEMO
Settings values shown in the display are 01–40 and ALT (0.1–4.0 seconds and Alternate).
Volume
Gate time
This Gate Time parameter corresponds to the length of time a note is held (on a MIDI keyboard) before it
is released.
When you set “ALT”, Note On and Note O are alternately transmitted when you strike the pad. When
using samplers and other such devices, you can strike a pad to start a sampler phrase loop, and stop the
phrase loop the next you strike the same pad.
If the MIDI sound module ignores Note Off messages, this Gate Time parameter will not affect the
length of the note (Drum sound modules and other sound modules).
The actual length of time the note sounds will depend on the settings of the MIDI sound module.
If you are using a pad to play a sound that has a slow attack, the note may be too quiet or may be cut
o too quickly. If so, increase the Gate Time.
Time
MEMO
Program Change (PGM CH)
By transmitting Program Change messages, the SPD-20X can select sounds on another MIDI
device. This parameter specifies the Program Number transmitted when Patches are switched
(1–128, OFF). In the Edit mode, each time you modify this parameter, a Program Change message
will be transmitted immediately from MIDI OUT, so that you can then strike the pad to check
the external sound module. If you do not wish to transmit Program Change messages, set this
parameter to “OFF.”
Each Pad will transmit a Program Change message on its assigned MIDI channel whenever a Patch
is selected in the Play mode. If two or more pads are assigned to the same MIDI channel and have
been set to transmit dierent Program Numbers, only the highest-priority pad will transmit the
Program Change.
If two or more pads are assigned with the same Program Number on the same MIDI Channel, their
Program Change will all being transmitted. So it's better not set both the same Program Number and
Midi Channel to multiple pads.
58
Setting MIDI Parameters
Since MIDI parameters can be set independently for each pad bank (A and B), each pad can control
two external sound modules.

Using the SPD-20X as a MIDI Sound Module
Incoming MIDI messages from an external device can also trigger the SPD-20’s sounds. The
Instruments specified by the sound parameters for each pad will be played by incoming note
messages of the Note Number specied for each pad.
Setting the MIDI Channel (MIDI CH) for Each Pad
The SPD-20X receives MIDI note messages corresponding to its MIDI CH setting. Program Change
messages and Control Change messages are received on Channel 10. When using an external
MIDI device to play the SPD-20X’s sound generator, set the MIDI Channel of the external MIDI
device accordingly.

MEMO
MEMO
MEMO
If you have specied the same Note Number for two or more pads, each pad will transmit the same
Note Number. However, if a note message of that number is received, only one Instrument assigned
will sound.
Remember that three note numbers are assigned to each Hi-Hat Cymbal for pedal control sound
(PEDAL_HH 1–PEDAL_HH 17). If even one of these three note numbers coincides with a Note Number
assigned to another pad, it will sound also. For example, if Note Number 38 has been assigned to the
SNARE 1 sound for pad number 1, and Note Number 42 has been assigned to the PEDAL_HH 1 sound
for Pad number 2, the closed PEDAL_HH 1 sound will also be heard.
By switching the Layer on/o, the way of note message processing will be changed;
Layer O: Each of the Note Numbers set to pad banks A and B are transmitted when received.
Layer On: When received, the Note Number in pad bank B is ignored, while the Note Number in pad
bank A is played.
Using External MIDI Devices to Play the Internal Sound Generator

When a note message is received from the external MIDI device, the Instrument selected for the
pad set to the corresponding Note Number in the current patch will sound.
If a Program Change message is received on the Channel 10, the corresponding Patch (1–99) will be
selected. (Only in the Play mode.) The SPD-20X will not respond to incoming Program Numbers 100–
128 for patch changes.
If necessary, use PATCH/VALUE [-] or [+] to select a Patch.
When you play the external MIDI device, the SPD-20X will sound.

How to Set Up the SPD-20X for Sequencing
If you wish to record and playback a SPD-20X performance on a MIDI sequencer or computer,
make the following settings. (These are the factory settings.)
• For each pad you wish to use, set MIDI CH to channel 10. Set channel 10 as input channel on
MIDI sequencer or computer. If you set dierent MIDI CH for pads you play, don’t forget to change
input channel to ALL on MIDI sequencer or computer.
• For each pad you wish to use, set dierent Note # for the pads so that they don’t overlap.
• For each pad you wish to use, set CURVE to “Linear”.
• For each pad you wish to use, set SENS to 8 or any other appropriate level that won't cause
crosstalk problem when playing.

If you wish to record and playback Patch changes made during a performance, you will need
to make the following settings as well.
• For each patch you play, set a Program Number (PGM CH) that matches the Patch number on
only one pad, set OFF to other pads.
If you wish to record and playback the pedal controller hi-hat sound (PEDAL_ HH 1 – PEDAL_
HH 17) layered with another instrument, following setting will be necessary.
• Assign a hi-hat cymbal for pedal control instrument (PEDAL_HH 1– PEDAL_HH 17) to pad bank
A. If you assign these instruments to pad bank B, recording will be correct, but since the SPD20X ignores incoming note messages for pad bank B, the Pedal hi-hat will not be heard during
playback.

Hints on Using Reverb
Reverb gives presence and spaciousness to any sound, whether solo or background. However,
excessively high effects levels and long effects times may make the performance difficult to follow
(because sounds are blurred), or make the rhythm less precise. There is a denite relationship between
eect time and eect level. Here are two hints on using Reverb, based on that relationship.
• Ifyouwanttousealongeecttime,decreasetheeectleveltoreducemuddiness.
• Ifyouwanttouseahigheectlevel,shortentheeecttimetoreducemuddiness.
Hints on Using Delay
While Reverb creates a lingering resonance, Delay creates quite a dierent eect. For Delay eects, the
eect time setting can create signicant dierences in the resulting sound. For example, when playing
a melodic solo using a mallet-type Instrument, an extremely short Delay time can be used to thicken
the sound. On the other hand, a longer repeating Delay can be set to a Delay time of a half-note or
quarternote that matches the tempo of the song.
If you are listening to the SPD-20X in stereo, it can also be interesting to select eect type Panning Delay
and select a Pan setting of “random.”
Hints on Using Chorus/Flanger
For Chorus/Flanger eects, the Time parameter determines the rate (the speed of modulation).
For Chorus, lower settings of the time parameter will result in a more spacious sound, and higher
settings will result in a more tremolo-like effect. Flanging is often used on metallic sounds such as
cymbals or Hi-Hats to produce a frequently-heard eect.
Hints on Making Parameter Settings
Eects provide many possibilities, but if you always use the same heavily-applied Reverb or Chorus, all
the Patches will sound the same. It is important to choose eect settings that are appropriate for the
song or suited to the role of the Instrument (solo, backing, special eects, etc.).
The FX SEND in the SOUND parameter group allows you to set the eect depth independently for the
Instrument assigned to each pad, so it is possible, for instance, to apply anging only to the cymbals. In
the case of Reverb, higher settings of FX SEND will create the impression of the Instrument being played
further away, so you might set the FX SEND parameter to a dierent value for each Instrument to create
spatial contrast. By utilizing the Pan setting (the stereo position) and the Chorus eect, you can control a
vast performance space.
Hints on Not Using Eects
Speaking of contrast, it can also be very “eective” to not use eects. Some possibilities are as follows.
•ToapplyeectstocertainInstrumentsandnottoothers.
•Toswitchtoanon-eectPatchatastrategicmoment.
As an example of the rst possibility, you might try using an ethnic percussion Instrument—such as a
surdo—without any eects for a feeling of authenticity. As an example of the second possibility, you
could switch from a Patch with deep Reverb to a Patch with no eects (or vice versa) to reinforce musical
movement or development within a song.

Troubleshooting
When playing the internal sound generator
• No sound
Is the volume set to 0?
Check the SPD-20X volume, and the volume of the amp system and mixer.
Can you here sound through the headphones?
If there is sound through the headphones, the problem may be that a connecting cable is
damaged,or there is a problem with the amp or mixer. Check the amplication system and the
audio connections.
Is Layer O selected?
When Layer O is selected, the sound from only one side is played.
Could LEVEL in the SOUND parameter group be set to 0?
Set the levels to an appropriate value.
Is INST (Instrument Assign) in the SOUND parameter group set to “OFF”?
A pad will not sound if its Instrument Assign parameter is set to “OFF” .
Is CURVE (Velocity Curve) in the SOUND parameter group inappropriate?
Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Curve parameter .
• No power/Power on, but unit does not operate
Are you using the supplied AC adaptor?
MEMO
Other AC adaptors may not work properly. If the SPD-20X does not operate even with the
correct AC adaptor, check whether the correct AC line voltage is being supplied.
It is best to avoid connecting many devices of high power consumption to the same AC outlet, or using
an excessive number of AC outlet expansion plugs.
• The volume is too low
Is the volume turned down?
Check the SPD–20X volume, and the volume of the amp system and/or mixer.
Are LEVEL in the SOUND parameter group set too low?
Set the LEVEL to appropriate levels.
Is CURVE (Velocity Curve) in the SOUND parameter group inappropriate?
Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Curve parameter.
Is TRIG SENS (Velocity Sens) in the SYSTEM parameter group set too low?
Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Sensitivity parameter.
• The sound is wrong
Is the layer function on?
Modify the SOUND parameters
• You hear sounds that you did not select
Is the layer function on?
Set Layer to O.
Is an external MIDI sound module being played from that pad?
If you do not wish to trigger an external MIDI sound module, set the MIDI CHANNEL in
the MIDI parameter to “OFF”.
72
• Soft strikes does not produce sound
Is the TRIG THRESHOLD setting too high?
Set TRIG THRESHOLD to an appropriate value.
Is CURVE (Velocity Curve) in the SOUND parameter group inappropriate?
Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Curve parameter.
• When two pads are struck simultaneously, only one of the sounds is played
Are you striking the center of the pad?
When striking two pads simultaneously, you should hit them both in the center. Furthermore,
you can be more sure of sounding both pads if you strike them with the timing slightly o.
MEMO
MEMO
MEMO
With the SPD-20X, the prevention of crosstalk (incorrect actions caused by the vibration from another
pad) is processed internally. Thus, if when two pads are struck at the same time the signal output by
one of the pads is extremely weak, then that sound is prevented from sounding. Being sure to strike
both pads in their centers, with the same force/strength makes it dicult for the sound dicult to be
omitted.
When external pads are connected
When using external pads, set the TRIG TYPE.
• The volume can’t be controlled by adjusting the striking strength
Make the TRIG TYPE match.
Make the TRIG SENS and TRIG CURVE match.
• When striking repeatedly, some sounds are lost
Make the TRIG TYPE match.
In some cases, when using pads or acoustic drum triggers from other manufacturers, you should make
your settings in Advanced Trigger Parameters.
• There is no sound when rim/edge shots are played
Play the rim/edge shot correctly. Set the TRIG TYPE correctly.
Are stereo cables used to connect the pads?
Connect using stereo cables.
5
When playing external MIDI sound modules
• No sound
Are MIDI connections correct?
Check that the SPD-20X MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI IN of the external sound
module, and that the MIDI cable is not damaged.
Is the volume of the MIDI sound module turned down?
Raise the volume.
Is MIDI CH (MIDI Channel) in the MIDI parameter group set correctly?
Make sure that the Transmit Channel is not set to “OFF” and that the MIDI channel of the
pad and the sound module match.
Is NOTE # (Note Number) in the MIDI parameter group set correctly?
Check the note numbers of the MIDI sound module.
Is CURVE (Velocity Curve) in the SOUND parameter group inappropriate?
Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Curve parameter.
73
• The sound is too soft
Is GT TIME (Gate Time) set too low?
If you are playing a sound with a soft attack, set a longer Gate Time.
Is TRIG SENS in the SYSTEM parameter group too low?
Set Velocity Seneitivity to an appropriate value.
• The volume does not change in response to playing dynamics
Is CURVE in the SOUND parameter group set to “Const”?
Set Velocity Curve to an appropriate value.
• The note duration of the MIDI sound module does not change even though you
adjusted GT TIME
Does the MIDI sound module recognize Note O messages? Or has it been set to a mode in which
it does not recognize Note O messages?
Refer to the operation manual of the MIDI sound module.
• When you select a Patch, the sound of the MIDI sound module also changes
Has PGM CH (Program Change) in the MIDI parameter group been set for a pad?
Set Program Change to “OFF” .
• The MIDI sound module does not change sounds in response to Program
Change messages
Is PGM CH in the MIDI parameter group set to “OFF”?
Make Program Change settings.
Are the MIDI Channel of the pad and the MIDI channel of the MIDI sound module set
appropriately?
Check the MIDI Channel of the pad and the MIDI channel of the MIDI sound module.
Is the MIDI sound module able to respond to Program Change messages? Or is it set to a mode in
which it does not recognize Program Change messages?
Refer to the operation manual of the MIDI sound module.
• Two sounds are played
Is the Layer function set to On?
Turn the Layer function o.
• When the pad is struck, the sound is intermittent
Is the Gate Time set to ALT?
Set the Gate Time to something other than ALT.
When playing the internal sound generator of the SPD-20X
• No sound
Does the Basic Channel of the SPD-20X match the MIDI Channel of the external MIDI device?
74
MEMO
Set both devices to the same channel.
The receive channel for program change and control change is channel 10.
Is the layer function on?
When the layer function is on, note messages assigned to pad bank B will be ignored. Turn
the layer function o.
Is the Instrument you wish to play assigned to a pad?
Assign the Instrument to a pad.
Is the Note Number set correctly?
The SPD-20X will not produce sound if it receives a Note Number which has not been assigned
to a pad.
Modify the Note Number, or select a Patch which has dierent note numbers assigned to it.
