About Roland TM-1

From the heart of hybrid drumming, the TM-1 Trigger Sound Module is a unique and innovative solution for drummers seeking to personalize their sound. This versatile module allows you to add a wide range of sounds to your acoustic drum kit, from onboard kick, snare, tom, cymbal, and percussion samples to your own custom samples and loops.

The TM-1 is designed to work seamlessly with any compatible Roland trigger pad. Simply connect the pad to the TM-1 and play the sounds you need, or mount an RT-series trigger to your acoustic drums to layer your preferred sample in perfect sync, without any lag.

Customizing your sounds is straightforward with the TM-1, thanks to the free editor app available for Mac/Windows and iOS/Android. Connect the TM-1 to your device, open the app, import samples from your library, and adjust the settings to your liking.

Designed for stage performance, the TM-1 can be powered by battery or mains and is easily controlled with your foot via built-in switches. The module also allows you to mute the hybrid sound with a foot press, enabling you to switch between acoustic and hybrid sounds during your performance.

The TM-1 is the perfect starting point for any drummer looking to explore the benefits of a hybrid setup. Hybrid drum setups are becoming increasingly popular in venues ranging from stadium concerts to small clubs and bars. The TM-1 makes it easy to bring studio-style impact to your core acoustic sounds and cover the electronic percussion parts essential to modern music styles.

The TM-1 comes with 15 ready-to-play kits, each featuring two instruments. The free editor app provides access to a library of over 150 additional sounds, including kick, snare, and other drums, as well as synth loops. You can also add your own sounds via the editor, offering virtually endless sonic possibilities.

The TM-1 Editor allows you to access all the module's internal sounds, import your own original samples, assign sounds to each trigger pad, and customize them quickly. Samples up to six seconds long can be imported from your computer, tablet, smartphone, or even cloud storage.

The TM-1 is also compatible with Roland's RT-series acoustic triggers, allowing you to layer samples with your own kick and snare and amplify them together through the PA for increased punch, clarity, and depth.

Expand your percussion palette by adding an electronic drum pad to perform with any sound assigned to it. The TM-1 has two trigger inputs, allowing you to connect two single-trigger pads or one dual-trigger pad.

Designed for portability, the TM-1's compact size and stompbox-style design make it easy to take with you wherever you go. The module is lightweight enough to carry in a bag or instrument case and robust enough to withstand travel, thanks to its metal-body construction and rugged footswitches.

The TM-1 also performs trigger-to-MIDI conversion simply by connecting it to a computer via USB. This feature allows you to trigger sounds in drum samplers and plug-in instruments, record MIDI tracks in a DAW, or control clips and other functions in performance software like Ableton Live.

In conclusion, the TM-1 Trigger Sound Module is a powerful tool for drummers seeking to enhance their sound and explore the world of hybrid drumming.
