You'd either need to connect the audio outs of the TD-50 to the Focusrite or use the Roland for both playback and recording. You just need to deselect everything from input and output drivers in the Preferences to switch between ASIO devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I solve this. The Roland TD Drum module is not an audio interface. you can hook it up with either of these 3 ways.: You can hook it up with MIDI You can hook it up with audio. You can hook it up both ways to transmit MIDI and audio For MIDI, you can use the 5 pIn MIDI out into your 5 PIN MIDI in of your audio interface. if it has one. Or you can hook it up via USB. For audio, you take 2 1/4" cables and connect therm to 2 inputs of your audio interface and set the appropriate levels in your audio interface. The MIDI connection is to transmit MIDI data. It has no sounds and is used to trigger soft synths in your DAW or hardware synths. The audio is sound and will transmit thew TD drum sounds into your DAW CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
