| TD-12 FAQ's and Downloads: |
| Q: What
do I need to install V Expressions expansions? |
A: Installation
requires MIDI connectivity from your personal computer
via Firewire, USB or a PCI based midi interface. USB-to-Midi
interface cables are available at most music stores for
about $39. Alternatively, stand alone sequencers will also
transmit our expansion packs. (please see Roland's directions
for sequencer usage on page 75 of the TD-12 owner's manual)
The module doesn't seem to want to read the file when sending? In rare occassions, a simple tweak of your Windows XP background services may be required. This is a recommended tweak for better system performance and will usually remedy this problem. (Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Performance Settings>Advanced>)
|
| Q: What
is the primary difference between the TD-12 and TD-20 expansions? |
A: All common settings between the two modules are exactly
the same. The primary difference between the 12 & 20
modules will be the loss of reverb and other rarely used multi-effects the TD-12 does
not offer. This is mainly limited to reverb in our expansions; however, there are other rarely used multi-effects not present. Any multi-effects that are not available on the TD-12 can easily be replaced with an outboard effects unit.
|
| Q: Do
the TD-12 Expansions sound like the TD-20 expansions? |
A: Although the TD-12 houses the exact same wav board sound
samples, it unfortunately does not offer all the same effects.
Primarily, the main effect missing on drum kits is reverb.
Reverb is only available on backing tracks. Ambience still
covers most of the bases, but reverb effects will not be present. Rarely, some of the other effects would be missing as well. Any multi-effects that are not available on the TD-12 can easily be replaced with an external effects unit.
|
| Q: Can
the TD-12 Expansions sound like the TD-20 expansions? |
A: Although the TD-12 does provide ambience effects, it does
not produce the same results as the TD-20's mixture of ambience, reverb and other multi-effects not included on the TD-12. Theorhetically, the same result could be achieved
with an external multi-effects or reverb unit. So, the answer is yes it can
with an external reverb or multi-effects unit for some kits/instruments.
|
| Q: Can
the TD-12 save/load individual kits? |
A: The TD-12
is designed to save and load individual kits. However; the
process is not simple and the user must be very creative
with the copy/exchange feature to build mixed backups. The
module is only capable of saving and loading the individual
kit in and out of the same patch number. In order to achieve
a personal mix of kits a user may desire, extensive creative copying,
exchanging, saving and loading will be required. More information
can be found in your Roland TD-12 owner manual on page 70
& 75. Our simple description of this process can be
found below.
