Roland TD-12 Details:
Unbeatable Sound
With the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20, the new 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 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.
Unrivaled V-Editing
Enjoy the dozens of expert-programmed kits in the TD-12 - from authentic acoustic sets to ultra-modern electronic flavors. But the fun doesn't stop there; customize your snare drum, toms, bass drum, and cymbals with the modeling-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.
Tap Into a New World of Style and Groove
From rich studio kits to bombastic arena monsters, the TD-12 can deliver amazingly authentic drum and percussion sounds. Pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, you name it - the TD-12 has you covered. But 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 colorful COSM processing, filter fluctuations, auto-roll effects, tap-sequence patterns, loop patterns, and more. Let the inspiration begin! And if you want to build your chops (or perhaps steal the show), fire off one of the 150 patterns built into the TD-12 and play along.
