After the sound begins, the pitch gradually rises (falls).
Positive (+) values make the pitch start high and then fall; negative (-) values make the pitch start
low and then rise.
Larger values produce greater change.
* In some cases, changing the Pad Pitch setting by a large amount might limit the Pad Pitch Sweep
eect.
Species whether the sense of strong strikes is enhanced (NORMAL, WIDE) or not enhanced (OFF).
The WIDE setting supports performance with higher velocities (this is ideal when used with pads

MASTER EQ
Here you can adjust the overall tonal character of the entire drum kit. You can use four bands (LOW/MID1/MID2/HIGH) of boost/cut to adjust the
sound. This can also be used to compensate the tonal character when using the master compressor.
You can adjust the equalizer’s eect (shelving and peaking) for the low frequency (LOW) and high frequency (HIGH).
The master EQ is output from the MASTER OUT jacks and PHONES jack.
This indicates whether the master EQ eect is output ( ) from each
jack or is not output (

When setting multiple pads to the same note number
When playing the internal sound generator of the TD-27, if an incoming note number is assigned to more than one pad, that note plays the
instrument of the pad with the lowest trigger input number. If the same note number is assigned to both the head and the rim, the head
instrument is sounded.
MEMO
An asterisk “*” appears at the right of the note number for trigger inputs that are not sounded.
Example)
Note number “38 (D 2)” is set for the head and rim of trigger input SNARE and the head of trigger input TOM 1. In this case, when note number 38 (D2) is
received, the instrument assigned to the head of trigger input SNARE is played.
About the gate time
Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note o” messages. However
general-purpose sound modules or samplers do receive the note-o messages that are transmitted and respond by turning o the sound.
Since gate time is normally not necessary for a percussion sound module, this is set to the minimum value when the unit is shipped from the
factory. If a note-o message is received while the sound module has this setting, it is received as an extremely brief note that has almost no
time to be heard, and is nearly inaudible. (Alternatively, it is possible that this could be heard as an unwanted noise.) To avoid this, specify the
note duration of the MIDI performance data that is produced when you strike each pad.
* If the same note number is sounded again in an overlapping manner, a note-o is transmitted before transmitting note-on, even if it is within the
gate time.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.
Increasing this value increases the sensitivity, so that even soft strikes on the pad are sounded at high volume.
Decreasing this value decreases the sensitivity, so that even strong strikes on the pad are sounded at low volume.
Adjusts the balance between the force of striking the rim or edge and the loudness of the sound.
If you increase this value, even soft strikes on the rim are sounded at high volume. If you decrease this value, even
strong strikes on the rim are sounded at low volume.
This is available for pads that support a digital connection and rim shots.
Minimum sensitivity of the pad
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is
above a determined force level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a
pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads. In the following
example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the
perfect setting for your playing style.

Extreme changes are made in response to playing dynamics.
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain strong

these settings will produce reliable triggering.
ParameterValueExplanation
Trigger signal detection time
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may dier slightly depending on the
characteristics of each pad or acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup), you may notice
that identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at dierent volumes. If this occurs, you
Scan Time
Mask Time
0–4.0ms
0–64ms
can adjust the “Scan Time” so that your way of playing can be detected more precisely.
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually raise the Scan Time
value from 0 msec, until the resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this
setting, try both soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume changes
appropriately.
* As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be played increases. Set this to the lowest value possible.
Double triggering prevention
When playing a kick trigger, the beater can bounce back and hit the head
a second time immediately after the intended note—with acoustic drums
sometimes the beater stays against the head—this causes a single hit to
“double trigger” (two sounds instead of one). The Mask Time setting helps to
prevent this. Once a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals occurring
within the specied “Mask Time” will be ignored.
Adjust the “Mask Time” value while playing the pad. When using a kick trigger,
try to let the beater bounce back and hit the head very quickly, then raise
the “Mask Time” value until there are no more sounds made by the beater
rebound.
Increasing this value makes it more likely that a note played in rapid succession will drop out. Set this to as low a value
as possible.
MEMO
If two or more sounds are being produced when you strike the head just once, then adjust Retrigger Cancel.
Detecting trigger signal attenuation
When you strike a snare drum etc. to which a commercially available drum trigger
is attached, there might be cases in which the waveform is misshapen, causing
another trigger to unintendedly occur at point “A” in the following illustration
(retriggering).
This occurs in particular at the decaying edge of the waveform. Retrigger Cancel
detects such distortion in and prevents retriggering from occurring.
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrigger Cancel” value until
Retrigger Cancel
1–16
retriggering no longer occurs.
Although setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be omitted when the
drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring that there is no retriggering.
MEMO
You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger
signals if they occur within the specied amount of time after the previous trigger signal was received. Retrigger
Cancel detects the attenuation of the trigger signal level, and triggers the sound after internally determining which
trigger signals were actually generated when the head was struck, while weeding out the other false trigger signals
that need not trigger a sound.

If strike position detection is on, nuances of the strike position on the head will vary the tone.
Turns rim strike position detection on/o
If strike position detection is on, nuances of the rim shot will vary the tone.
For a pad that is connected to a TRIGGER IN jack, this species the force at which to switch between the cross stick
sound and open rim shot sound.
Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get cross stick sounds. When
set to “0,” playing a cross stick produces the open rim shot sound.
For a digitally connected pad that allows cross stick technique, playing a cross
stick with a strike that is stronger than the value of this setting produces the
open rim shot sound.
* For a pad that is connected to a TRIGGER IN jack, be aware that if this value
is raised excessively, the cross stick sound will also be heard when you play
an open rim shot.
This setting lets you prevent a drum from being triggered unwantedly by a strike on a drum to which no drum trigger
is attached, or by sound or vibration from the surroundings (noise cancellation).
This noise cancel function can be used if you use a stereo cable to connect an “RT-30K” or “RT-30HR” drum trigger to

If the OUTPUT ROUTING Master Out is “DIRECT,” and PadEq/Comp to Direct is “OFF,” the output from
the MASTER OUT jacks also bypasses the pad equalizer and pad compressor.
Species whether the pad compressor (p. 16) is applied (ON) or is not applied (OFF) to the sound
that is output from the PHONES jack.
If this is “OFF,” the pad compressor does not aect the output from the PHONES jack.
For example, this lets you use the pad compressor to reduce the dynamic range for the drum
monitor or PA, but hear the full dynamics in the monitor headphones while you perform.
Selects whether the output of the MASTER OUT jacks is the same signal as the DIRECT OUT jacks
(DIRECT) or not (NORMAL).
If this is “DIRECT,” the output of the MASTER OUT jacks is not aected by the master compressor
and master EQ, allowing you to use the MASTER OUT jacks as DIRECT OUT jacks (the setting of the
[MASTER] knob does apply).
This setting also applies to the USB audio output to your computer.
Cuts the frequency region below the specied frequency (low cut).
This setting is common to all output jacks.

Using the Local Control setting
SYSTEM
If you’re using a DAW software with the performance data from the pads and TD-27’s
sound generator section, you should turn the Local Control “OFF.”
We need to connect these sections in the following order:
the performance data from the pads0a DAW software0TD-27’s sound generator
section.
Since the performance data from the pads and TD-27’s sound generator section are
connected internally, such a connection order would normally be impossible. However,
if the Local Control is “OFF,” the performance data from the pads and TD-27’s sound generator section will be independent, allowing you to use a
DAW software as shown here in the illustration.

Specifying the HH Note# Border
The note number transmitted when you strike the hi-hat will change depending on the amount of pressure on the hi-hat pedal.
At the factory default value (127), the closed hi-hat note number will be transmitted only if the hi-hat pad is played with the pedal completely
depressed. If you want this note number to be transmitted when the pedal is slightly raised, set this to a value such as “90.”
* In some cases, changing the hi-hat note number border setting might cause a song to play back dierently than when it was recorded.

About note values
Some eect parameters (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be set by using note values.
If you set the delay time as a note value, slowing down the tempo will not change the delay time beyond a certain length. There is an upper limit for the
delay time so if it is set as a note value and you slow down the tempo until this upper limit is reached, the delay time cannot change any further. This upper
limit is the maximum value that can be specied when setting the delay time as a numerical value.

At -60 dB, the sound becomes inaudible. 0 dB
is equivalent to the input level of the sound.
Turns the Anti-Phase function on/o for the
Low frequency ranges
When turned on, the counter-channel of
stereo sound is inverted and added to the
signal.
Adjusts the level settings for the Low
frequency ranges
Adjusting this level for certain frequencies
allows you to lend emphasis to specic parts
(This is eective only for stereo source.).
Settings of the Anti-Phase function for the
Middle frequency ranges
The parameters are the same as for the Low
frequency ranges.
Turns Low Booster on/o
This emphasizes the bottom to create a

* Depending on the Isolator and lter
settings this eect may be hard to
distinguish.
RING MODULATOR
This is an eect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the
