Td-4 custom settings

[hellsteeth54]

Hi all, Bought a td-4kx a few months ago, my first e-kit. Very impressed with it, but some of the kits don't sound all that great. I've had a search around the Internet, to see if there were any custom settings listed, and was very quickly led here. However, I can only seem to find a couple of custom kits posted by people, does anyone know if there is a larger resource somewhere? Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, hellsteeth54!


Congrats on your new purchase!
Going by the TD-4 manual (page 29), there really isn't much in terms of settings that you could tweak:

For each pad you'll get
- Volume
- Pan
- Tuning
- Muffling (Decay)

Plus you'll get....
- Overall Volume
- Reverb Type
- Amount of Reverb

....for the whole kit in general. Again - not much to tweak there.
You may ask Alan of VEXpressions, if they offer VEX packs for the TD-4; but given the minimal parameterization the module has, a collection of 'parameter-tweaks' is almost pointless in this case!


If you like the control-concept of Roland's modules, you could consider upgrading to a higher-order module, like a used TD-9. It's only then, when you have the proper module you'll get to enjoy VEX packs!

Welcome to the forum as stated above, not much to tweak and therefore no larger database beyond what you have already found.
