Prismatic Sound Modeling: Feel the Difference

The Prismatic Sound Modeling in the TD-50X makes electronic drums come to life like no other system can, infusing multi-layer samples recorded in world-class studios with sophisticated behavior modeling techniques refined over more than two decades. Inspired by a prism—which refracts a single ray of light into every color in the spectrum—our revolutionary approach produces an unlimited array of sonic colors with every stick hit. The initial attack is followed by a complex mix of rich overtones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can feel the sound changing in reaction to your expression, creating that magical, interactive bond that fully immerses you in the emotion of the moment. From subtle ghost notes and detailed articulations to the loudest and most intense playing, your drumming has no boundaries with the TD-50X.

TD-50X Overview

Roland Digital Pads: A Revolution in Electronic Drumming

Our breakthrough digital pad technology fully realizes the vast expressive potential made possible with Prismatic Sound Modeling. Multi-sensor detection in the snare, ride, and hi-hat pads works with the lightning-fast processing in the TD-50X module to bring authentic acoustic nuance and detail to these core kit pieces. All your playing techniques translate seamlessly, such as subtly touching the ride to mute the sound or switching at will between head, rimshot, and cross stick playing on the snare. The game-changing VH-14D completes the experience, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution never available in electronic hi-hats until now.

World-Class Kits at the Touch of a Button

The powerful, punchy, and dynamic preset kits in the TD-50X are tuned for instant satisfaction, letting you dive into an immersive playing experience straight away. Imagine acoustic drums in a top-tier studio that are mic’d, processed, and mixed by the finest engineer—that’s the sound you’re going to get. Choose from a wide range of classic studio drum sets and modern processed kits to cover any style, with descriptive names like “Fat Brass,” “Warm Studio,” and “Maple Rock” that let you envision the sound before you even strike a drum. But that’s just the start…

TD-50X Playing Examples

Craft Your Personal Sound

Going beyond the presets, the TD-50X allows you to tweak every inch of a kit for your personal style and taste. Quickly make tuning, muffling, and other adjustments to any drum, with all your changes saved in real time. Or dive deeper and build your dream kit from scratch, selecting shell depth and head types for drums, as well as diameter, thickness, and other characteristics for cymbals. And with our PureAcoustic Ambience technology, you can instantly place kits in different virtual environments, from tight, dry studios to massive arenas and everything in-between.

Mix Inside the Box

The TD-50X gives you all the studio-grade sound tools you’d find in a pro computer music production environment, housed in a rugged and reliable hardware module with complete audio and MIDI connectivity. Like a recording engineer, you can adjust mic settings for various kit elements, then refine sounds with EQs, compressors, and other processing. There’s a massive library of top-quality effects on hand too, from rich, expansive reverbs to delay, distortion, phaser, bit crusher, and more.

Mix Outside the Box

When performing live or in the studio with electronic drums, the ability to shape sounds outside the kit is just as important as in-the-box processing. The TD-50X has you covered, allowing you to meet the moment wherever you play. With ten fully assignable balanced outputs, you can send an audio engineer whatever drums they need to mix the sound appropriately, with or without effects. Fader controls on the module are also available, letting you control the mix from the stage when needed. And for computer-based recording, the TD-50X supports up to 32 channels of digital audio plus MIDI over a single USB cable.
