Installing the TDW-20 in the TD-20
Installation Procedure
1. Check the package contents to be sure you have the expansion
board, screwdriver (for removing the cover on the back of the
TD-20), locking key (for securing the expansion board into
place) and CompactFlash card. Please leave the expansion
board in its package until it is time to install it.
2. Back up your data (carefully read p. 12).
3. Install the TDW-20 expansion board (p. 13).
4. Update the TD-20 (p. 15).
Enclosed CompactFlash Card
• Do not format the included CompactFlash card.
• Do NOT use with a computer BEFORE executing the update
process.
Back up Your Original TD-20 Data!
• Save your current data to your CompactFlash card before you
install the TDW-20 (p. 12).
When executing an update, all data and settings in the TD-20
are lost. That’s why it is important to back up your data and
settings on a ConpactFlash card before updating. If you are
using the CompactFlash card included with your TDW-20,
insert the card ONLY AFTER turning the power on. Otherwise
the “updater” on the card will automatically open.
If You Have BULK DUMP Data Stored on Your
Computer
• If you have individual kit data or your entire kit’s data stored on
a computer, in order for it to be compatible with the expanded
version, you must load it into the TD-20, and save the data to a
CompactFlash card BEFORE updating with the TDW-20.
IMPORTANT! Please Read before Beginning the Installation Process
TDW-20_e.book 10 ページ ２００９年１１月１２日 木曜日 午後６時５１分

11
Data Compatibility
• Data created on the original TD-20 and backup data stored on
a CompactFlash card can be used with an expanded TD-20 (p.
40).
• The preset drum kits from the original (non-upgraded) TD-20
are provided in drum kit numbers 51–100 of the TDW-20 (with
the factory settings).
The TD-20’s preset drum kits can also be specified as a copy
source (p. 35).
• Backup data created with an expanded TD-20 is not
compatible with original TD-20.
• Backup data from the upgraded TD-20 is compatible with the
current TD-20X drum sound module (which is the equivalent of
the TD-20 + TDW-20), and can be used in the same way.
• On the TDW-20, improvements have been made to the master
compressor. If backup data from a non-upgraded TD-20 is
imported into the TDW-20, part of the master compressor
settings will be automatically converted to the closest possible
values.
Please check the settings, and make adjustments if necessary.
Caution when Handling the TDW-20
• Components of the TDW-20 can be damaged by static
electricity. Please observe the following precautions when
handling it.
• Before touching the TDW-20, you must touch some other
metal object to safely discharge any static electricity that
might be in your body or clothing.
• When holding the TDW-20, grasp the edges of the circuit
board and DO NOT touch the components on the circuit
board or the connectors.
• If you need to store or ship the TDW-20, place it in the
original bag (conductive bag for electrostatic protection).
• DO NOT touch the circuitry or connectors inside the TD-20.
• When inserting the TDW-20, do not force it into the slot. If
insertion is difficult, take the TDW-20 out and then try again.
Use the provided tool to lock it in place.
• When you’ve finished installing the TDW-20, double-check
your work.
• If a foreign object should get inside the TD-20, request
servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information”
page.
• The TD-20 will not function if you remove the TDW-20 after
performing the update.
