Roland TD-50 Overview

The TD-50 V-Drums Sound Module from Roland is an expressive drum sound module for pro performance and studio sessions. It can be used when paired with drum pads (sold separately) for top-flight live performance, intense practice sessions, and eclectic studio work.

Featuring an advanced processor and Prismatic Sound Modeling, the TD-50 delivers over 400-plus dynamic and expressive instrument sounds. In addition to the traditional analog trigger inputs, the module is built with digital trigger inputs for high-speed communication with multi-element sensor systems like the PD-140DS snare and the CY-18DR ride pads.

Furthermore, deep editing features and flexible connectivity put you in charge with this sound module. It allows you to play WAV samples via an SD card, or have USB 10-channel audio out for multitrack recording through a single USB cable. With its attractive sound quality, quick responsiveness, and connectivity and expression, the TD-50 is on its way to being a professional standard in electronic drum sound modules.

Dynamic Prismatic Sound Modeling
The TD-50 is a powerful new drum sound module whose original Prismatic Sound Modeling technology means that every element of your playing style is caught and conveyed in precise detail. It gives you lifelike, resonant, and expressive sounds via an electronic kit
Play with Your Own WAV Files and Record Easily to a DAW
Using the module's SD card slot, it's easy to trigger your own WAV files using any of the TD-50KV's drum pads (sold separately), and you can loop or layer them alongside the internal sounds while controlling volume and tone via the TD-50's front panel. Simply connect the TD-50 module to a computer via USB for multitrack recording direct to your favorite DAW. Up to 10 channels can be recorded separately, then easily edited for tone color, and more
Practice Features to Develop Your Technique
Whether you lock down your timing with the Quiet Count function or play along to backing tracks via the SD card slot, it's easy to get inspired, even when you're practicing alone
Customize Your Sound for Live Sessions and Studio Work
This module also supports deep sound customization, including basic adjustment of heads and shells, layering of internal and user samples, and adjustment of overhead mics and ambience. A compressor and three-band EQ can be controlled for each pad individually, while three independent multi-effect sections let you treat drums with 30 effect types such as delay, flanger, saturator, and many others. The two-band multi-compressor and four-band equalizer on the output let you change the overall dynamics and tonal balance, depending on whether you're in the studio or on the stage
Balanced Connections to a PA
The TD-50 is a V-Drums module that features an XLR stereo master out and eight TRS direct outs, allowing for a balanced connection to a PA system
Record Drum Performances
The TD-50 also includes a unique, easy-to-use audio-recording function—simply hit the record button and start playing to capture your performance. If you're playing to a click or backing track, there's an option to record just the drums, or to record them with the click or track included. Once captured, your recordings can be easily exported for upload and editing in your DAW
