The Roland TD-12 drum module is an upgrade from the previous TD-8, sharing the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20.
The Roland TD-12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences in a streamlined, affordable package. Many of the sounds in the TD-12, from drums to cymbals, are COSM modeled for the ultimate in expression and realism.
The Roland TD-12 module provides the same large, icon-based LCD as its big brother (the TD-20), and is housed in a road-tough, metalic black chassis with a friendly array of buttons, controls, and mix sliders. Twelve trigger inputs are provided, plus four audio outputs and MIDI I/O.
With the Roland TD-12 you can customize your snare drum, toms, bass drum, and cymbals with the modelling-based V-Editing. Change sizes and materials, attach sizzles to cymbals, increase snare buzz, and more. Then get out your sticks and enjoy! The TD-12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride, as well as on the toms when you play rimshots.
The TD-12 is also brush compatible, and features the expressive Interval Control feature for the snare and ride/crash/china cymbal, which varies the sound in natural ways based on the speed of stroke repetition.
In addition to its acoustic-modeled kits, the TD-12 also offers a new crop of edgy, fun, and experimental sets that have been created for unique, modern music creation. With an emphasis on fun, these new kits are laced with colourful COSM processing, filter fluctuations, auto-roll effects, tap-sequence patterns, loop patterns, and more. The Roland TD-12 also includes 150 built-in patterns for practice.
