ROLAND TD-50X V-Drums Module

The next generation of the industry-leading TD-50X module, it offers over 900 sounds of unsurpassed quality, a response and feel that perfectly mimics acoustic drums, depth editing to fully customize your sound, and professional connectivity to handle any situation.

The TD-50X's Prismatic Sound Modeling technology can breathe life into electronic drums like no other system, enriching multi-layered samples recorded in world-class studios with refined modeling techniques honed over more than two decades. With each stroke, the module can create an unlimited range of sonic hues - the initial onset of sound is followed by a complex blend of rich harmonic tones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can directly feel the sound change in response to your expressiveness. With the TD-50X, drumming knows no boundaries, from subtle overtones and detailed articulation to the loudest and most intense beats.

Imagine acoustic drums that are voiced, processed and mixed in a world-class studio - that's exactly what you get when you load a preset with the TD-50X. Created in collaboration with top drummers and recording experts, these inspiring kits allow you to play any style from jazz to the hardest metal at the touch of a button.

If you want to go beyond presets, the TD-50X lets you customize your sound at every level - just like an acoustic kit. You can quickly change the tuning or damping, or dive deep and build a rig from the ground up, where you choose the ideal body depth, bellows type, cymbal characteristics and more. You can then place this rig in whatever space you want, using PureAcoustic Ambience technology, where you have complete control over room type, echo and more.

Once you've fine-tuned the details of your rig, you can bring it to perfection with an impressive array of professional studio tools. Adjust microphone settings for different elements of your rig and bring sounds into play with EQs, compressors and other types of processing. Then just turn to a wide selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects to add spaciousness and colour.

The rear panel is packed with connectivity options, so the TD-50X is always ready to tackle the practical demands of any situation. Stereo XLR master outputs and eight TRS direct outputs allow you to send any instrument to your audio console via a balanced connection. For computer music production, you can stream up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio via USB for the best quality sound. The model also supports MIDI interface via USB and traditional five-pin connectors.

The module is also packed with features to help you develop your technique and turn practicing into an enjoyable pastime. Improve your sense of rhythm with the metronome and Coach mode exercises, or just jam with music playing from your smartphone or laptop. The built-in recorder lets you record and review your game whenever you want, plus you can easily export and share the audio (with or without accompanying music). You can take your practice even further with the free Melodics™ computer app, which offers 40 lessons and, through a paid membership, unlimited access when you're ready.
