Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland
M-BD1 Sound Expansion Series. 
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:
“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” (page 2), “USING
THE UNIT SAFELY” (page 3), and “IMPORTANT NOTES”
(page 6). These sections provide important information
concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in
order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every
feature provided by your new unit, this manual should be read
in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as
a convenient reference. 

This manual explains the unique functions and built-in Patches
and Performances of the M-BD1, a sound module in the Sound
Expansion Series. For details on how to operate it, or a list of
error messages, you should refer to the Sound Expansion Series
Owner’s Manual.

Features

• The M-BD1 consists of bass and drum sounds created by five

well-known musicians.

Bass : Marcus Miller, Abraham Laboriel, John Patitucci
Drums: Abe Laboriel Jr., Bob Wilson

• Bass sounds are slap, fingered, picking, fretless, harmonics and

acoustic bass manners, various musical instruments. Patches
include slide and playing noise that serve to improve the bass
performance.

• Drum sounds are phrase loops with drum patterns of groove

touch and Waveforms with a combination of strong and weak
percussion hits for 1 shot.

• As well as the Rhythm part, it provides various Patches that

can cope with the Drum Set or Velocity Mix/Switch, expression
and the Performances that combine those Patches, so that you
can easily create highly expressive drum sounds.

• The M-BD1 offers two modes: the "Patch" mode (which is ideal

for playing live), and the "Performance" mode, which is the
normal mode to use when playing the module using a
sequencer.

• Provides Rhythm sets that have the phrase loops organized by

B.P.M. (tempo). This makes it simple to play manually for live
performances and allows you to play while synched with a
sequencer for phrase-loop play.

• Comes with an effects processor (reverb and chorus), so you

can try your hand at applying a full range of modifications,
and enjoy the sonic illusion of playing in a large concert hall!

• An input jack allows you to route sound from another device

to this unit and have both be mixed, thus eliminating the need
for separate mixing equipment.

• Offers a selection of sound mappings, so music data for the

General MIDI System/GS Format can be conveniently
enjoyed.
