Roland V-Drums TD-50X E-Drum Module - Outstanding Sounds and All Options
The Roland TD-50X gives you 70 premium acoustic drum kits at your fingertips. Designed in collaboration with top drummers and recording engineers, these inspiring kits cover every style from jazz to metal. If that's not enough, 900 high-quality instrument sounds are available for creating up to 30 individual user kits.
The TD-50X is compatible with most E-Drum pads of all brands. With Roland VAD pads, drum-tec Pro 3, diabolo 3 or Jam 3 shells, or even in conjunction with Roland digital pads - the digital snare, the digital hi-hat and the digital ride cymbal, it reproduces your performance in detail and delivers expressive, fine and powerful drum sounds.
Wide dynamic range, high-resolution snare sound, seamless open/close detection on the hi-hat, fine reproduction of accents with head and rim strokes on the toms, punchy kicks on the bass drum, nuanced sounds from edge and bow strokes on the cymbal pads - the module authentically reproduces what you play!
The TD-50X's 70 preset drum kits and a wide range of samples can be customized to your personal needs. In all sets, you can edit the parameters down to the last detail - just like an acoustic kit. Change tuning and damping on the fly or dive deep into sound shaping: choose between different shell sizes, head types, cymbal characteristics and other parameters. PureAcoustic Ambience lets you add a virtual room sound to your custom user kits, including room type, reverb, and stereo width.
Comprehensive Practice Features
The functionality of the module offers several features that will make you better. With the Warm Up mode you can call up a daily practice routine that will bring your skills to a new level. The Coach mode with Time Check and Quiet Count makes your timing more precise and lasting.
You can stream your favorite YouTube or Spotify songs from your laptop or smartphone into the TD-50X, so you can drum along to your heroes on your headphones. Audio files as loops or sequences can be read in via the SD card slot and assigned in the module to any pad in the set.
Maximum compatibility
To process your drum sounds outside the module, the TD-50X offers a wide range of possibilities for every situation. Eight user-programmable balanced outputs allow you to send any signal, individual instruments or the complete kit as a stereo sum, with or without effects, to the engineer at the FOH. For recording, the TD-50X provides you with 32 digital audio channels, MIDI and USB.
The TD-50X is designed for a total of 14 trigger inputs*! That's enough for the classic setup as well as for e.g. additional drum-tec eBans, FX cymbals, china cymbals, more tom pads or a second bass drum.
*The TD-50X allows a total of 14 trigger assignments, divided between the digital and analog trigger inputs. If both a connected digital pad and an analog trigger are assigned to the same sound, the digital trigger input will be given priority.

das „rundeste“ System…ß)
MEn - seit Nachreichung der X „Erneuerung“ und mit den digitalen Triggern insgesamt das rundeste System / Produkt / Modell am Markt.
Akustisch liefert es eine enorme Bandbreite an Kits in extrem schneller Reaktion / praktisch nicht spürbarer Latenz. Mag sein, daß manch höher gezüchtete Samples auf anderen Systemen noch einen Tick „besser“ klingen bzw der dynamischen Roland-Synthese überlegen sind - aber ich bezweifle sehr, daß dies jemand auf der Bühne oder im Mix noch irgendjemand heraushören könnte.
Kein Modul erlaubt derart flexible Einsatzszenarien.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr robust.
Ihr wolltet tüfteln - jetzt könnt ihr tüfteln :-)
Die Möglichkeiten sind wahnsinnig gut, können einen aber gerade am Anfang überfordern. Man muss am Ball bleiben, bis man erkannt hat, welches Potential darin steckt. Der größte Unterschied zwischen TD-20x / TD-30 und dem TD-50X ist in meinen Augen, dass die Sounds vom TD-50x von Hause aus nicht mehr gefärbt sind. Die überwiegenden Presets Klingen sehr echt und unbehandelt. Das führt natürlich dazu, dass weniger den Wow-Effekt hat, wenn man das Gerät anschaltet. Die andere Seite der Medaille ist natürlich dann, das man aber auch hier viel mehr Möglichkeiten hat auf den Sound Einfluss zunehmen.
Insbesondere beim routing von Effekten und Ausgängen hat man hier richtig „was gemacht“ - so kann ich damit viel bessere Aufnahmen machen.
Man braucht seine Zeit - dranbleiben!
Très bien mais problème du logiciel avec le charleston VH14 D
Module TD50 upgradé TD50X acheté le 18 mai 2021 chez Drumtec. Le module fonctionne avec mon kit Drumtec Diabolo, la qualité des sons d'usine n'est pas terrible, mais grâce aux samples que l'on peut télécharger et à la Live Sound Edition de Drumtec, on arrive à avoir d'excellents sons. Il y a une multitude de réglages possibles, et la fonction de superposition de deux sons est utile (par exemple vous pouvez trouver un bon son de caisse claire, et lui superposer un sample d'harmoniques pour créer une résonnance plus naturelle).
Tout fonctionne très bien et c'est un plaisir de jouer sur un instrument électronique rendu aussi expressif. Il faut tout de même prévoir beaucoup de temps pour bien appréhender tous les réglages possibles.
Il y a un bémol : le charleston VH14D numérique ne fonctionne pas correctement, en raison d'un problème logiciel apparemment => la fonction d'étouffement ("choke sens") de ce pad doit être désactivée, sinon il y a des dysfonctionnements et le sons devient sec, même ouvert. L'ouverture n'est plus détectée. Il semble que la désactivation de la fonction d'étouffement supprime ce problème.
A ce niveau de prix, cela est décevant de la part de Roland qui connaît ce défaut et ne l'a pas encore résolu. Il y a de nombreux foums sur ce sujet et des vidéos. Le même problème se produit aussi sur les TD27.
