ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

WARNING

- Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

- Never install the unit in any of the following locations.

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
  • Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
  • Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.

- This unit should be used only with a stand that is recommended by Roland.

- When using the unit with a stand recommended by Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

WARNING

- Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

- Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.

- Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

- This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

WARNING

- Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page when:

• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or
  • If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

- Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

- Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

- Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

CAUTION

- The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

- This (TD-4) for use only with Roland stand MDS series. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

CAUTION

- Please be sure to read and adhere to the cautionary notices contained in the instructions that came with this product. Please note that, depending on the manner in which keyboard performances are carried out, you may encounter situations where the keyboard falls off the stand or the stand topples over, even though you have followed all of the instructions and advice contained within the product's manual. For this reason, you should always perform a safety check each time you use the stand.

• Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

- Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

- Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

- Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

- Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Keep any caps and wing bolts you may remove in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

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 (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. 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 filter 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.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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 device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device 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 off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

- Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• 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 connecting / 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 your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at night and when using headphones. Although the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when they're struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by switching to mesh heads.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
• If there is a danger that you might accidentally strike the unit during performance, adjust the locations at which Tom 1 (T1) and Tom 2 (T2) are attached to the stand, to reduce the gap between the pads.

Specifying the Type of Pad

Screen Parameter/Value Explanation
	Pad TypeFor each Pad, you can select the type of pad you're using (the pad type) so the TD-4 will accurately receive the signal from the pad.Pad Type:KD-8, KD-85, KD-120, PD-8, PD-85, PD-105, PD-125, PDX-8, CY-5, CY-8, CY-14C, CY-12R/C,CY-15R, VH-11, OFF

The "Pad Type" is a collection of settings for various pad-related parameters; it sets these parameters to the appropriate values for each type of pad.

Simply select the pad type that's appropriate for the pad you've connected. Each parameter will be set to the appropriate value, allowing you perform optimally.

If the pad does not respond as expected even though you've selected the correct pad type, you can make fine adjustments to each parameter as appropriate for your pad.

* If you've turned this OFF for a pad, and would like to change that pad's setting to something other than OFF, you'll need to re-select the pad by turning the [-/+] dial in the MENU screen (p. 27).

Setting the Pad Sensitivity

When you specify the pad type, the following settings are automatically set to the values appropriate for each pad, meaning that you will normally not need to adjust them. If you wish to make detailed adjustments, you can edit the following parameters.

Screen Parameter/Value Explanation

Detailed Settings for Trigger Parameters

Normally, you will not need to edit these settings, since they are automatically set to the appropriate values for the pad when you specify the pad type. You can edit these parameters if the pad does not respond as you wish.

Display/Parameter Parameter/Value Explanation
PAD BOW RIDE SYSTEMPad Advanced Threshold3	Threshold0-16	This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a determined dynamic 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.

When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the pad is struck lightly. Gradually raise the "Threshold" value while striking the pad.

Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing style.

▼	= Scan Time
	1.6ms

Scan Time 0.4–4.0 (ms)

Specifies the detection time for the trigger signal. Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ 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 different volumes. If this occurs, you 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 0.4 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.

Scan Time Time

PAD ROW RIDE SYSTEM ▲ Pad Advanced ▼ · Retrig Cancel 4

Retrig Cancel 1–16

This setting prevents spurious re-triggering. Important if you are using acoustic drum triggers. Such triggers can produce altered waveforms, which may also cause inadvertent sounding at Point A in the figure (Re-trigger). This occurs in particular at the decaying edge of the waveform. Retrig Cancel detects such distortion in and prevents re-triggering from occurring.

While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the "Retrig Cancel" value until re-triggering 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.

A Time

MEMO

You can also eliminate this problem of re-triggering with the Mask Time setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger signals if they occur within the specified amount of time after the previous trigger signal was received. Re-trigger 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.

Other Settings

Display/Parameter Parameter/Value Explanation
	Mask Time0–64 ms	This setting prevents double triggering.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—is 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 specified “Mask Time” (0–64 msec) 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.

* When set to a high value, it will be difficult to play very quickly. Set this to as low a value as you can.

MEMO

If two or more sounds are being produced when you strike the head just once, then adjust Retrig Cancel.

Mask Time Sound not produced

PAD BOW RIDE SYSTEM SEL Pad Advanced - Xtalk Cancel 35%

Xtalk Cancel 0–80%

This setting cancels "crosstalk," which means that when you play one pad you hear a sound coming from another pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the same stand. In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.

TIP

In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.

Crosstalk Example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also sounds

Raise the "Xtalk Cancel" for the pad being used for tom 1. The tom 1 pad will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.

* If the value is set too high, and two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully may not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to prevent crosstalk.

Lower value will keep the rim/edge producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
PAD BOW RIDE SYSTEM▲ Pad AdvancedSEL · Rim Adjust1.4	Rim Adjust0-8.0	When a PD-125/105/85, PDX-8, or RT-10S is connected, you can adjust the sensitivity of the rim response.There are some cases that you have a rim sound unexpectedly when you hit the head strongly. You can improve this situation with decreasing the value of “RimShot Adjust.” When you set the value too small, it might be difficult to play the rim sound.

Protecting Modified Kits and Settings (Edit Lock)
