Roland Td-11 Sounds Download Free

The Real Acoustic Sound is our way of pushing the envelope to achieve a level of realism not usually associated with the TD-11. Don't take our word for it though - check our demo video and see for yourself: All sounds are recorded straight from the module. Since these kits are modeled after well-known classics you get to decide the genre: Rock, Funk, Jazz, Metal, Pop? It's up to you!
Our customers regularly ask us regarding sound manipulation and what their options are to really get the most out of their Roland module. We took this by heart and started aggregating our most loved kits and sounds and started compiling them to Sound Editions. From our experience of being drummers ourselves and incorporating the feedback from our customers we created our own sets for all the important Roland modules. While some sets are just for fun at home others are optimized for the stage.
Should your module have a firmware version below 1.11 you will have to update the firmware in order to use the drum-tec Sound Edition. You can get the free TD-11 update at roland.com. With the download also come instructions on how to install the new firmware.
Please note, I do not want to use Logic's own drum kits, producer kits, etc. I am looking to record the sounds in my TD-11's module into separate tracks in Logic so I can EQ/audio fx them independently.
Similar to Record multiple MIDI devices to multiple tracks in Logic Pro. It's best to read the support file according to your Logic version as the behavior seems to have changed. However it is important to give the instruments/sounds/pads you like to split different midi channels on the TD-11.
I realized now that when I play and record my TD-11 in Logic, all it is doing is recording MIDI notes. The only reason why I hear the TD-11's sounds when I playback the recording is because the notes are feeding back to the TD-11. I played and recorded a drum pattern in Logic then selected the regions and converted them to audio files and nothing plays back in QuickTime.
Hi there, if you'd like to record TD-11 sounds as AUDIO into separate tracks in Logic, it depends on: 1) Your audio interface, which would have to have enough multiple inputs to accommodate the incoming audio; 2) TD-11 "brain" unit should have multiple AUDIO outputs corresponding to each of its pads.
You are right, the way I described the scenario leads to thinking audio not MIDI. However, I was confused by the fact that when I play my TD-11 and record it to a MIDI track in Logic, it records MIDI notes. When I play the recording back in Logic I hear the TD-11's sounds. Well, I now figured the MIDI notes I recorded are playing back through the TD-11's module. I thought the TD-11's sounds were somehow embedded in the recording but they are not.
The TD-11 only has one mono/stereo output. It does not let me assign each of its 16 MIDI channels to each pad either. As far as I know, there are no USB Multi-tracking Vendor drivers for the TD-11. However, I can record the sounds of my TD-11 to an audio track in Logic. This is so because the TD-11 is also an interface. So no separate interface is needed to record the audio from the TD-11. Well, it's audio, no way to quantize it or EQ each pad independently. I have to play to a click and EQ the entire kit to the best of my abilities.
I think the way to record each sound from each pad from the TD-11 into a separate track in Logic would be to take the sounds of the TD-11 and convert them to an Apple/Logic Drum Kit. Then you can add a software instrument track in Logic, choose the TD-11 Drum Kit (multi-output) or make the TD-11 Drum Kit a Producer's Kit. Logic automatically separates each instrument of a producer's kit into separate tracks and this lets you control EQ/Volume/Fx for each sound each pad makes after I record my drums.
However, more experienced drummers may find the TD-11 a bit limited due to the small drum pads and unsophisticated drum sounds. Of course, you could upgrade a TD-11 with new pads or even an A-to-E drum conversion, and the module sounds can be replaced by running software like EZdrummer 3 on a computer. Find out more about how to do this in our guide to making eDrums sound more real.
The main disadvantage of the lower-end K and KV versions is the basic stand-mounted hi-hat pad and separate foot pedal. This is far less realistic than the VH-11 found on the higher-end KVSE and other more expensive Roland kits. Because the VH-11 (and newer VH-10) is stand-mounted, it feels like playing a real acoustic kit.After the KVSE, the next best model is the KV model, thanks to its upgraded cymbal pads and all-around mesh drum heads, which feel much more realistic than the rubber tom pads on the K version. The KV is also easier to get hold of than the KVSE thanks to being in production for much longer.Find out more about the KV in the video below, which also features sound demos (the sounds on all TD-11 modules are the same).

Meanwhile, the top of the unit features a USB interface to connect to a computer, as well as a USB port for playing music from a flash drive and storing presets and recordings from the module.What replaced the Roland TD-11?The Roland TD-11 was replaced by the TD-17 which was announced on the 8th of May 2018. That module has several upgrades such as a new sound engine based on the TD-50 and the addition of Bluetooth to play along to songs on your smartphone or other devices. Additionally, the TD-17 includes the ability to load single-shot samples from an SD card to enhance the onboard sounds.
Other Roland kits to consider:
- TD-9: An older kit with midi in and out but no USB interface
- TD-15: A higher-spec TD-11 with an extra trigger input and positional sensing on the snare pad
- TD-25: Successor to the TD-15
- TD-17: The TD-11 successor
- TD-27: Probably the best new Roland kit available right now
I downloaded and installed Cakewalk by BandLab on my Win 10 laptop and started watching Creative Sauce's Mike's videos to understand Cakewalk. I am a drummer and added my Roland TD-11 as my audio and MIDI device, set up the driver mode to ASIO, etc. Cakewalk automatically recognized each drum/cymbal I play when I record drums on a drum track using the SI Drum kit. However, when I play the recording back, the bass drums sounds low, then high, the hi hat sounds too loud, etc.
Two things to check:
1. The velocity curves for your TD-11 sounds are likely different from the ones in the SI Drum Kit. When you're tracking, if possible track listening to the sounds you're actually going to be playing the drums back on, rather than the internal TD-11 sounds. Unfortunately SI Drum kit is a pretty basic instrument and doesn't allow you to change the velocity curves, but you may be able to within the TD-11 itself.
2. Check if D-11 is sending out CC or pitch bend changes, e.g. for the hi-hat pedal, or hit position on the pad. You may need to remove these from your MIDI track after recording.
The Roland TD 11 has 25 drum kit sounds on board. Check out the variety:On top of that you can define 25 drum kits yourself. And for that you can pick from 190 different sounds. See which sets drumming superstar Thomas Lang created out of that:
Summary: The Roland TD 11 offers enough drum set sounds to play gigs for hours on end. You can adapt your sound to the feel of each individual song and even emulate different sound environments. If you want to annoy your guitarists, ask them if they can do this too. What about Practicing?Becoming good at drumming boils down to three things: learning the right motions / coordination, learning to keep the time and staying motivated. The TD 11 assists you in all of them.
As well as assigning the FD-8 hi-hat to function as another bass drum, you can also use any other samples on the TD-11 drum module. There are a whole host of different percussion sounds to choose from should you wish to work on your independence. Cowbell, clave and woodblock are just some of the common uses of this type of reassignment allows for.
The unit itself is big but not too bulky and has a large enough display that is easily read from an upright sitting position at the drum set. It is easily positioned beside the hi-hat cymbal for ease of sight and use. The big dial in the middle is the main control of the unit which allows you to scroll through a myriad of drum kits, sounds, effects, songs and exercises included on-board the TD-11 module.
The selection of drum kits supplied is clearly a step up from either the TD-1 module or the TD-4. The kits sound fatter, clearer and of a higher quality. There are 50 drum sets to choose from spread over 190 sounds in total. There is something in there for everyone, including the usual jazz, pop and arena drum sets.
