Thank you Roland for the updates and extra drumkits. I bought a second hands TD17 and it is so a nice feeling to upgrade the kit and load a few new kits and transform this.
Forget about the full backup as it overwrites all the new 2.0 kits when you load it. Instead, save each custom kit you care about individually, with user samples checked, to the SD using OTHER. Once done w factory reset to 2.0, using OTHER load back the individual kits from the SD. This keeps all the new 2.0 kits in place and adds your old favorites. I only had one I cared about and this is how I did it.
Wow... I thought it was only me. Thx!!! Clarifying -- the "OTHER" that peakciv mentioned is a physical button on the right side (not in the menu). Hit it while in the individual kit you want to and scroll to Save/Load.
I just bought a used VAD306. I do not want anything that’s on the current module as the previous owner has kits on there I don’t like and I don’t like any of his settings. If that’s the case, what do I do differently than what is in this video? Is there a need for me to back anything up and do anything with an SD card?
Hello, in my case I only had 3 personal presets, I made a copy on the SD, I made the update and the new sounds were loaded, but when I loaded my presets from the SD all the new sounds of the update were deleted, although the system already is 2.0. What can I do now? Restore factory settings? do the update again? Help, thanks.
Just updated the TD-17 Ver. 2.1 software on my 3 yo TD-17KVX. Tips: After you save any kits, Reset the module to Factory Settings. This will ensure when you format your SD Card it will show as successful. I downloaded the update files form the Cloud to a dedicated folder on my laptop, Then it was easy to find and extract files. There is a PDF file which tells you how to update the software. Would have been nice to have this before, but the video instructions did the job. Now be patient during the Update process. There are 5 files and they don't load right away. Start the process and wait, it will finish in 5-10 minutes. My impressions are pretty positive with the updates. I haven't gone in to adjust set instrument levels yet as they seem to be balanced a lot better than before, even for the OG kits. I'll tweak during rehearsal time when the bass and guitar try to drown me out. No biggie. The headphone volume is lower, but I rarely use it. I can also 'mix in' to my JBL EON One if needed and use the headphone out. The Sound level is very loud and manageable using 1/4" out to my JBL EON G2 (15" Woofer is a must). Now don't forget to go to the Roland site and download the new Manuals, Data Files and other things (all in PDF format). If I can do this at 67 you w/o grandkids help, you can too, I'm glad I took the time to update the software.

@@dreadedfpv4106 Not really, I just kept going and modifying the gain for each instrument on my favorite kits one at a time. pretty annoying to be honest. did you happen to find a better solution?

#RolandChannel @RolandChannel - Dear support team, have you found or have you received any message from users about problem after installing new software? I've just installed 2.0 in my module TD17KL and module changes Hihat pad type after update itself! I choose CY5 on hihat settings and when I go to pad settings I see BT1 SENS, when I change pad settings to CY5, then I get CY12RC... Is there any way to inform you officialy or share with you video somehow?
The 2.0 has 70 kits. On the old version I had about 12 kits from EDrum Workshop with actual drum samples. Even with 30 remaining user kits available and after deleting 8 of the EDrum kits, I still don't have room to add the 2 new kits I just bought. It's a shame that when you utilize a great feature like actual drum samples, it severely limits how many kits you can load. I don't need 70 kits and I wish I could just delete 2/3 of them to free up space but apparently you can't.
Add the E-drum kits on a different SD card or 32 gig card possibly? I was wondering the same thing. Pretty sure all the 2.0 update are stored in the td-17 module and any additional samples and paid presets are stored on the SD card. Make a separate folder on SD card and add the kits you want might work, I'm not sure new at this too.
@@fabianvasquezjr8852 it's the "User Samples" from Roland's new kits that take up the memory as it turns out. After going through all of them I decided to keep the "wood shell" kit only. I think that's kit#1 or #2. The rest weren't kits I'd ever use. You have to then go in and delete all unwanted samples, leaving just the one "wood shell" sample. From there I was able to add 7 or 8 of my favorite EDrum kits. I overwrote all the Roland kits that had user samples with 1 of their kits like "Rock Studio" or something like that, which didn't use samples. I guess you could put all the EDrums on separate disks and load every time but I want it clean and simple so I can just sit down, turn it on and play. Unless they can somehow add more memory capability I think I've got it about as good as it can be. Luke at EDrum Workshop was helpful as always in trying to sort it out.
Roland is now marketing a TD-17Kvx "Gen 2" about which it is stated, "The second generation of the TD-17 boasts a re-vamped sound engine, in addition to 20 brand-new preset kits - half of which were only previously available on the top-of-the-line VAD-306." The Gen 2 kit currently sells for about $500.00 more than the (1st gen TD-17Kvx). My question - does this free update from the Roland cloud bring the older TD17Kvx kit's module to the same capability as the Gen 2 module, essentially saving the $500.00?
Is there any way to download then update with an iPad? That’s all I have to work with.. I downloaded the Roland manager app but there is no “hardware” section on it on the iPad app..
Might want to mention when backing up user content to tick the user content box or it will load all of the 1.0.2 drum kits into the module presets and you won't see the new 2.0 kits. I made that mistake and l loaded backup user kits and it was all of the v.1 td-17! I factory reset again and ta da! All the v 2 kits were loaded TG! They sound great by the way awesome update Roland!!!
Here's what happened to me. I made a full backup, with the user content box selected. I loaded the V2 update and it worked exactly right. After the update it prompted for a factory reset, which I did. All the new V2 kits were loaded, but none of my old user kits were there. That's what I expected. I then inserted my backup card and selected "load" with user content selected. That worked too, but it overwrote all the new v2 kits with the original v1 kits, plus my original user kits. I tried to go through the v2 install process again, and that worked, but this time it did not prompt for a factory reset and it did not reload any of the v2 kits. What I have now is a module upgraded to v2 with all the old v1 kits plus my user kits and samples but none of the new v2 kits.
David O same thing happened to me. You can factory reset by hitting the setup button and scrolling down - the second to last option is factory reset. If you hit that, you'll get the factory reset which will restore the version 2 kits again.
@@Sweet92879 Your trick about doing a manual factory reset worked! After I did that, all the new v2 kits magically reappeared. That's great! I'm still not out of the woods though. I inserted the backup card that I made in "step 1" and tried to reload my user kits using the Other->Save/Load menu, but they did not appear and I couldn't reload them. My guess is that because the backup I made was a full backup of everything, my user kits are embedded inside of it and can't be individually extracted. It looks like I should have individually backed up each user kit beforehand, but the instructions don't say to do that. Now it looks like I'm going to need to recreate each of those user kits. Fortunately, I only had about half a dozen of them.
I did the procedure and when I put my backed up kits back into the module they over wrote the new kits, any one else have this issue? Now it won't let me put the 2.0 version in.
This doesn't make sense. I download version 2 to my desktop download folder but how does it get recognized by the module if I' m supposed to make sure I don't load it into the SD card????
I'm attempting to install V2 update and have no files to save, I have a 32g SD card that's completely formatted. I've downloaded the file TD17_UPA.BIN to the desktop and when I initiate the update process, it wants me to insert the card at which point it read "no update file": and goes no further. I'm signed into the cloud What am I missing? or doing wrong?
let me ask you guys: the sound of td17 module on using the earphone outlet is way much better thanusing L and R P10 cables to amplifier and external speakers! My speakers are fantastic (yamahas huge ones)
I have downloaded the new version 2 firmware but cannot download user sounds that I also downloaded free on the roland cloud. I keep getting an error message saying no files found in folder of unsupported format or similar. I had no issues loading user samples in version 1?
Update working fine and all.... but how do you make use of the Roland Cloud Kits. Installed them on the SD but only my drum-tec kits show up when using the import. Is there another place where you can find the Cloud Kits or am I doing something wrong. The manual is also a bit weak in the respect, especially since you're more or less forced the download a (almost 1GB) cloud software interface...
Got it working... I had to rename the files by hand so no double names exist and put them all in one folder. As happy as I am with the update... it sounds really amazing. But in 2023 you can't come up with a software package over 800MBs and get people to manually change the downloaded files by hand. What in earth's name is the functionality of that package... if you force people to download the software the first thing there gonna do is download the 'cloud' drumkits... that's what it's made for right?
I successfully loaded version 2, but when I tried to add my back up files the module went straight back to old version and I cant reload version 2 now. Once I switch module off and back on, it's no longer prompting factory reset but goes straight back into old version module. I have tried starting all over again, same issue - cant reload ?? Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
@@brianmcdermott2596 I only had a couple anyway so didn’t bother with them. An earlier comment on this feed will assist with backup kits. I should have read that comment.
Hi, last night I updated my TD-17 and the overall volume of everything (kit, click, aux) is lower. I have increased pad sensitivities to 32 max which made a slight difference. Can anyone tell me how to get it back to previous volume levels please? Before the update the volume control would be about 1/4 turned now 4/5 to max!!
Besides the lower kit volume, which is not great but not a showstopper, it looks like the MIX IN level is lower too. I often play along to songs from my iPhone, which is connected via cable to the MIX IN input on the back of the module. I have to crank the volume of the iPhone music (on my iPhone) to absolute maximum level to get any decent volume out of it. Even with the kit volumes being lower, the MIX IN level is so low that the my drumming more or less drowns out the music when I play along using my headphones. I tried lowering the kit volume and cranking the volume knob all the way up on the module, but that didn't work very well either. Right now I don't have any good solution for this.
not working? keeps reverting to same 1.0 setup . doesn't say welcome to 2.0 or ask to factory reset ? any help .. i'm about to clear the M card and l drag the update on again...
Where do I put the update/ in the TD 17? on the SD card?, leave it on my desktop? In other words I got the program on my desktop unzipped, then with the formatted sd card in the module I hold rec and on button and I get to the screen to update and press the rec button and the module says =no update file. = WTF?
The problem is this Roland Cloud only works for mac/windows users . They used to do it right when there was a link to the zip files(bios etc) . But now they don't care about their customers, only trhose 2 selected..
I have a question about the 2.0 update. When I first got my TD-17 KVX kit, I added a 4th pad. I had to go through all the factory kits and adjust all my other pads so that the 4th would sound correct plus I adjusted each kit's volumes. It was a lot of work to say the least. If I install the upgrade, I'll have to go through and do it all again. Can the New Update Kits be installed separately and how many are there?
Any issues with doing this on Mac silicon? I just went and bought an SDHC 32BG SD card and formatted it in the V-Drum machine and it worked there. But when I plug it into my mac I'm unable to put any files onto the SD card. It isn't in the lock position and I can't even reformatted it on my mac using Disk Utility. I assume it's a lame mac issue and mac will come out with a special expensive feature in the future and call it innovative technology. HELP IM DROWNING
Seems like this update deletes all of your custom pad settings and reduces the number of user kits from 50 to 30? Does it also reduce the amount of storage available for user samples?
Wow, this is the most unintuitive upgrade process I've seen in a really long time. The Boss Katana amp is not exactly smooth, but it's miles easier than this. Why are there no easy to follow guides available when Google searching for "How to update Roland TD17"? Please get your act together Roland!
i know what you mean, im not the sharpest tool in the shed and its taken a few months to wrap my head around things, after ive bashed it into a brick wall of course lol. but now ive worked it out its actually really simple, didnt know i could do so much with td17 it was a really good investment
You can back them up to a formatted SD card from the setup button of the td-17 module, but first copy every kit from v1 to user content, check ✅ the user content box when backing up. After updating to v 2.0 you can load from SD card back up.
When he says that TD-17-KVX owners are already running the 2.0 software, does this mean that we already have these new kits and sounds installed? So we don’t need to update our systems? If this is true, getting an email that tells me to update my kit is confusing if it actually doesn’t apply to me.
Does this 2.0 update include the extra kits that come with the VAD306/7? Currently, if I factory reset my TD17, I lose the 10 extra kits that come with my VAD306 version of the TD17. Any help??? Thanks!
For anyone curious, I ended up finding the answer. The 2.0 update includes the 10 extra kits, plus an additional 10 for a total of 20 extra kits. Another thing worthy of note: when trying to format my new 32GB SD card, I kept getting an 'Error' on my TD17. Turns out, I was still able to add the update from my computer and load the 2.0 update into my TD17 as shown in this video. In short, if you get an error when formatting your SD card from the TD17 module, it may still work. Enjoying the update so far, thanks Roland!
Go to Setup > Bluetooth > F2 Setup > Device ID and change it to 1. Mine was defaulted to Off and even though it looked like it was in pairing mode nothing would recognize it.
At website, NO search feature. Please don't build websites with no Search Feature. It's just cruel and unnecessary. C'mon. There is an educate based on Communally Agreed to structures that we, as humans, have agreed is best. Indefensible. Particularly as THERE IS NO LONGER A CLOUD BUTTON IN UPPER RIGHT AS VIDEO STATES. It's a box on a screen and not the first screen you'd get to, it's on the Backstage screen, as a banner, after you page down.
Dear idiots at Roland. How does one do this if one doesn't have an sd card slot on a computer? I mean, seriously. You're telling me the usb port can't deliver this firmware?
Literally same question. So I have to buy an sd card AND an sd card reader for this shit. I haven't own an sd card since cellphones' capacities started making owing cameras and sd cards pointless. I really can't believe this
Sd card? Are you kidding me? We're in 2024. I appreciate the update, but they didn't think of this when they didn't even include a USB port to connect to a pc ffs
This is a useless video. Spent 2k on a drum kit that I can't use properly because i need the td-17 update and can't find it anywhere. Installed the Roland Cloud app and opened it as the video says but there is no Vdrums section listed anywhere. I've clicked through every heading in the program and there is nothing about my kit or any other vdrum module in there.
I never buy Roland instruments again, I have the TD15K and they don't update the midi controller for Apple M1, it's useless for me... Horrime company,... Support is essential to build customer loyalty and word of mouth... .
and? or do roland products have a scheduled expiration date?! In my country, I bought it new 6 years ago, and? Even the old cars, the good ones!, have spare parts,....
Thanks for still providing support for this product, great way of winning loyalty on your client base. I will do this as soon as I have the chance.
Great clear video to explain how to do the update! Easy to follow... Thanks !
Thank You Roland for an awesome Christmas present. The new kits are awesome. Truly high quality sounds. Thank You.

@@brianmcdermott2596 I only had a couple anyway so didn’t bother with them. An earlier comment on this feed will assist with backup kits. I should have read that comment.

what is the process to download and copy the TD17 module 2.0 to my Apple Mac Pro?
would imagine it being the same? so download the roland cloud manager if you havent already, then access the file through there?
what with the td 07 ?? please
Hi, last night I updated my TD-17 and the overall volume of everything (kit, click, aux) is lower. I have increased pad sensitivities to 32 max which made a slight difference. Can anyone tell me how to get it back to previous volume levels please? Before the update the volume control would be about 1/4 turned now 4/5 to max!!
Same problem here.. did you find a solution?
No
@@Sutho37 Have you tried to increase the overall volume? Go to: Other (button) > Volume > Kit volume.
@@tp5904 That is a solution, but it needs to be done individually for every kit, I believe.
Besides the lower kit volume, which is not great but not a showstopper, it looks like the MIX IN level is lower too. I often play along to songs from my iPhone, which is connected via cable to the MIX IN input on the back of the module. I have to crank the volume of the iPhone music (on my iPhone) to absolute maximum level to get any decent volume out of it. Even with the kit volumes being lower, the MIX IN level is so low that the my drumming more or less drowns out the music when I play along using my headphones. I tried lowering the kit volume and cranking the volume knob all the way up on the module, but that didn't work very well either. Right now I don't have any good solution for this.
not working? keeps reverting to same 1.0 setup . doesn't say welcome to 2.0 or ask to factory reset ? any help .. i'm about to clear the M card and l drag the update on again...
Update: it worked after clearing the M Card and puttng the update on it again..
Ok, I just started this update now, but is it free?
Do you need an sd card? My pc doesnt have an sd slot.
Go buy a SD card reader, that plugs into your usb port!
@@boblewis2287 Thanks. Figured that out right after I posted 🤪
Where do I put the update/ in the TD 17? on the SD card?, leave it on my desktop? In other words I got the program on my desktop unzipped, then with the formatted sd card in the module I hold rec and on button and I get to the screen to update and press the rec button and the module says =no update file. = WTF?
You should copy the update file to the SD card's root folder, be sure to format the SD card on the TD-17 module first.
I cant transfer the file from my mac to sd..any experience?
The problem is this Roland Cloud only works for mac/windows users . They used to do it right when there was a link to the zip files(bios etc) . But now they don't care about their customers, only trhose 2 selected..
I have a question about the 2.0 update. When I first got my TD-17 KVX kit, I added a 4th pad. I had to go through all the factory kits and adjust all my other pads so that the 4th would sound correct plus I adjusted each kit's volumes. It was a lot of work to say the least. If I install the upgrade, I'll have to go through and do it all again. Can the New Update Kits be installed separately and how many are there?
Any issues with doing this on Mac silicon? I just went and bought an SDHC 32BG SD card and formatted it in the V-Drum machine and it worked there. But when I plug it into my mac I'm unable to put any files onto the SD card. It isn't in the lock position and I can't even reformatted it on my mac using Disk Utility. I assume it's a lame mac issue and mac will come out with a special expensive feature in the future and call it innovative technology. HELP IM DROWNING
Seems like this update deletes all of your custom pad settings and reduces the number of user kits from 50 to 30? Does it also reduce the amount of storage available for user samples?
Wow, this is the most unintuitive upgrade process I've seen in a really long time. The Boss Katana amp is not exactly smooth, but it's miles easier than this. Why are there no easy to follow guides available when Google searching for "How to update Roland TD17"? Please get your act together Roland!
i know what you mean, im not the sharpest tool in the shed and its taken a few months to wrap my head around things, after ive bashed it into a brick wall of course lol. but now ive worked it out its actually really simple, didnt know i could do so much with td17 it was a really good investment
Great! Are the V1 factory kits still available in V2?
You can back them up to a formatted SD card from the setup button of the td-17 module, but first copy every kit from v1 to user content, check ✅ the user content box when backing up. After updating to v 2.0 you can load from SD card back up.
When he says that TD-17-KVX owners are already running the 2.0 software, does this mean that we already have these new kits and sounds installed? So we don’t need to update our systems? If this is true, getting an email that tells me to update my kit is confusing if it actually doesn’t apply to me.
if you have 50 preset kits, you're on v1, if 70, you're on v2
Does this 2.0 update include the extra kits that come with the VAD306/7? Currently, if I factory reset my TD17, I lose the 10 extra kits that come with my VAD306 version of the TD17. Any help??? Thanks!
For anyone curious, I ended up finding the answer. The 2.0 update includes the 10 extra kits, plus an additional 10 for a total of 20 extra kits.
Another thing worthy of note: when trying to format my new 32GB SD card, I kept getting an 'Error' on my TD17. Turns out, I was still able to add the update from my computer and load the 2.0 update into my TD17 as shown in this video. In short, if you get an error when formatting your SD card from the TD17 module, it may still work.
Enjoying the update so far, thanks Roland!
I’m using Windows 10. Does anyone have the steps for Windows 10?
Hi, anyone noticed that with v2 version, bluetooth option has disappeared? or is it just my module?
Go to Setup > Bluetooth > F2 Setup > Device ID and change it to 1. Mine was defaulted to Off and even though it looked like it was in pairing mode nothing would recognize it.
@@s2pidwheels358 nah, minee is td17-l that doesnt have bluetooth support. I had never tried bluetooth till the update and that's when i notices 😅😅
At website, NO search feature. Please don't build websites with no Search Feature. It's just cruel and unnecessary. C'mon. There is an educate based on Communally Agreed to structures that we, as humans, have agreed is best. Indefensible. Particularly as THERE IS NO LONGER A CLOUD BUTTON IN UPPER RIGHT AS VIDEO STATES. It's a box on a screen and not the first screen you'd get to, it's on the Backstage screen, as a banner, after you page down.
Dear idiots at Roland. How does one do this if one doesn't have an sd card slot on a computer? I mean, seriously. You're telling me the usb port can't deliver this firmware?
Literally same question. So I have to buy an sd card AND an sd card reader for this shit. I haven't own an sd card since cellphones' capacities started making owing cameras and sd cards pointless. I really can't believe this
Sd card? Are you kidding me? We're in 2024. I appreciate the update, but they didn't think of this when they didn't even include a USB port to connect to a pc ffs
This is a useless video. Spent 2k on a drum kit that I can't use properly because i need the td-17 update and can't find it anywhere. Installed the Roland Cloud app and opened it as the video says but there is no Vdrums section listed anywhere. I've clicked through every heading in the program and there is nothing about my kit or any other vdrum module in there.
I found it easily. Path is: Hardware Instruments>TD-17>Upgrades>TD-17 Version 2 Update. Good luck.
I never buy Roland instruments again, I have the TD15K and they don't update the midi controller for Apple M1, it's useless for me... Horrime company,... Support is essential to build customer loyalty and word of mouth... .
and? or do roland products have a scheduled expiration date?! In my country, I bought it new 6 years ago, and? Even the old cars, the good ones!, have spare parts,....
