Roland TD-27 Drum Sound Module

Under the umbrella of flagship-class sound and maximum expression, the TD-27 V-Drums sound module, an updated and enhanced version, is brimming with the most exquisite acoustic drum sounds you've ever encountered. This sound module, powered by Roland's Prismatic Sound Modeling, delivers drums that not only sound extraordinary but also mimic the response of real acoustic instruments.

The TD-27 module is equipped with advanced digital trigger inputs that support Roland digital pads, offering unparalleled expression. The PureAcoustic Ambience Technology incorporated in the module provides a range of inspiring drumming spaces at your fingertips. The module also includes a broad selection of electronic sounds from Roland's rich sonic history, essential for modern styles. By loading and layering your samples with internal drums, you can create unique sounds that set you apart from other drummers.

The TD-27 module is further enhanced with the Version 2 update, offering more sounds and power. Discover 75 preset kits, including 10 brand-new kits and enhanced versions of the three most popular kits from the original release. The update also includes new pre-loaded samples for combining with preset kits or your custom setups. The layering features have been expanded, and parallel compression options and transient shaping enhancements offer even greater sound control. The module interface has also been improved for quicker sound selection and drum customization.

Roland's Prismatic Sound Modeling offers an unmatched electronic drumming experience. Starting with carefully curated samples of real drums and percussion, recorded by top players in leading studios, these static samples are brought to life with advanced modeling that recreates the acoustic behavior between each sample, providing a smooth, true-to-life drumming experience.

The TD-27 module allows you to personalize your drum sound, just like with acoustic drums. You can swap heads, adjust the tuning, apply damping, change kick beaters, and more using the module's hands-on controls and intuitive editing tools. The enhanced layering features of the module make it easier to create fat, hybrid sounds.

The TD-27 module also allows you to import and trigger original single-shot drum hits or introduce audio loops, sequences, and more. Imported samples can be mixed and layered with internal sounds to build any kit you can imagine. The module features three digital trigger inputs for advanced Roland digital pads like the PD-140DS snare, VH-14D hi-hat, and CY-18DR ride, delivering the most natural expression of your drumming.

In addition to its three digital trigger inputs, the TD-27 module features a multi-pin analog trigger jack for easy connection with any standard V-Drums pad arrangement. There's also a dedicated analog trigger input for a second crash cymbal pad, plus three auxiliary trigger inputs for customizing your setup by adding any Roland trigger pad.

The TD-27 module uses PureAcoustic Ambience technology to create an incredibly natural and immersive sound field when playing. Advanced onboard multi-effects and mixing capabilities give you the power of a full-scale studio console, with transient processing, parametric EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, and more at your command.

The TD-27 is a powerful command center for any electronic drumming setup, with ample connectivity options for both stage and studio use. The built-in USB audio interface makes computer music production simple, with up to 28 discrete audio channels available over a single cable. MIDI is also supported via USB and dedicated I/O, allowing you to sync with other MIDI devices and trigger sounds in computer software.

Built-in Bluetooth lets you wirelessly stream audio from a phone or laptop to the module, ideal for jamming with headphones. You can even record your performances - with or without backing - to hear where you need to tighten things up. The module's Coach mode supports your daily practice sessions, complete with progress tracking that makes learning effective and rewarding.
