Features
New Sounds and 50 New Drum Kits (100 total)
The new acoustic sounds have more punch, expressiveness, stereo
presence and dynamic range. The Processed and Electronic sounds
give you lots of new choices for everything from Alternative Pop,
Hip Hop or Club music. The USER memory is now 100 kits, including
50 NEW kits, and the TD-20’s original preset kits.
New Editing and Performance Power
• A new, Large “Mic Size” choice for the kick drum enhances low
frequency attack (p. 26).
• More “Mic Position” choices for more precise microphone
placement (p. 30).
• Full “Kit Resonance” function, triggered by the bass drum,
adds overall kit depth and presence (p. 30).
• New Snare Drum Rim function allows selected layering choices
(p. 27).
• Electronic sounds now have a new Dynamic pitch bend
feature (p. 28).
• Turn the snares on or off, or change from a normal Hi-Hat to
“Fixed Hi-Hat” using foot or pad switches (p. 39).
• “Dynamic Interval Control” results in a more accurate response
to your playing dynamics and speed (p. 34).
• “Enhanced HH Control” improves the feel and response of the
V-Hi-Hat (p. 23).
22
• “Enhanced Snare Buzz Control” gives more dynamic response
and presence when adding “snare buzz” to the toms or kick (p.
26).
Ambience — User Interface, New functions
Not only has the interface has been improved, but new algorithms
offer high resolution definition and stereo presence. New functions
include 15 new room types, 3 new wall material choices and 7 new
mic positions (p. 30).
Improved Memory Storage on a
CompactFlash Card
Up to 99 full backups on the CompactFlash Card. Your current
CompactFlash Card stays compatible on the new, expanded
version, as well as the original version (p. 24).
Directly “audition” a kit on the
CompactFlash card.
You can choose between preset kits: TD-20/TDW-20 and kits saved
on CompactFlash card (p. 41).
You can play the kit before loading it into the USER area. (however,
pad patterns will not work when being played from the
CompactFlash card)
Sequencer
• Additional Preset Patterns
• 50 new Preset Patterns have been added (P 101 – 150).
KD-120 Users
If you have imported your own trigger bank settings from the
original TD-20 version, we advise you to double check the
trigger parameters for the KD-120. As dynamic response has
been improved, re-adjusting those parameters will make you
feel even more comfortable while playing.
Important notes about the Hi-Hat
We strongly recommend that you spend time adjusting the
Hi-Hat parameters to adapt to your performance techniques.
• The most important is correctly setting the “offset”
before you play each time.
ACCESS: [KIT] + [TRIGGER]
• The “Foot Splash Sens” parameter is also important.
Spend some time testing this setting.
ACCESS: [TRIGGER]–[F3 (HI-HAT)]
• Also remember that for each kit, there is a separate
control for the sound level of the “Foot Closed (Pedal
HH)” sound.
ACCESS: [KIT]–[F2 (FUNC)]–[F1 (VOLUME)]
• Keep in mind that for the sound level of the Hi-Hat that
setting different levels for the “Head” and “Rim” can
help you get a good sound balance.
When in the MIXER screen. Press [F5] so you can adjust
the levels separately.
23
About the Drum Kits
After you have completed the upgrade process, you will find that
the user memory has expanded to 100 Kits: 50 NEW kits from 1–50
and the original TD-20 pre-set Kits from 51–100. These 100 factory
preset kits are always available via the “copy” function, or when
totally re-setting the TD-20. So you have 100 USER kits to work
with.
CompactFlash Card Data
• All user drum kits can be backed up to the CompactFlash card
for a total of 99 full back-ups.
• Kit data on the CompactFlash card can be played (but not
edited) without loading it into the TD-20 (p. 41).
• The Import function allows you to load data saved prior to
updating (p. 40).
When importing a previously saved “backup” the kits will
appear from kit No.51.
Backup File Names
This is important for those who might want to organise their data
in their computers or share data with other TD-20 users.
How Names appear
Though you can give a name to your backup file that you can see
when loading/saving with a CompactFlash card in the TD-20, the
24
name that appears when looking at it in your computer is different.
Here we will explain the difference between “original” TD-20 data,
and data after upgrading with the TDW-20.
Original TD-20
Backup 1 appears like
“TD20” indicates the original version.
The “BK01” means Backup No.1, “BK08” would mean backup
No.08.
“TD20BK01.TD0.”
Expanded TD-20
Backup 1 appears like
“TDW2” indicates the upgraded version.
The “BK01” means Backup No.1, “BK99” would mean backup
No.99.
“TDW2BK01.TD0.”
Pattern Files
This refers to patterns saved independently on the CompactFlash
Card.
Pattern No.1 (on the card) will appear as
The “P001” means pattern No.1. Pattern No.100 appears as
“TD20P100.TD0.”
