I own the tdw-20 and want to record them using the sound I've made and virtual drum sounds is it possible?

heres my situation, i wanted to get m audio fast track pro for an interface and utilize the midi ports for my td-20. now i also would be using logic express as my daw. i understand that i can record with my td-20 [that is playing in real time]using midi and then use the virtual sounds in logic as the audio because i do understand that midi is not audio. but i also wanted to know if i can record using midi and then instead of using virtual drums from software can i get the souds from the td-20 or to utilize the td-20 sounds would i have to record using direct outs? please help

Simple answer is yes you can. Since you've already recorded the midi information, just have the DAW output (drums usually midi channel 10) it back the the TD-20. The TD-20 will play the sounds associated with the specific midi notes. Not sure why you'd ever want to use the TD-20 sounds when there are so many better samples available but hey you have the option.

I record with a TD10. I always start by recording the MIDI performance and then send that MIDI data back into the TD10. (but I do not actually track any audio up front).
This allows me to delay any final decision on what actual drum sounds I want to commit to until after I have most of the other sounds tracked. As I'm tracking other sound, I am tweaking the sounds in the TD10 to get close to what I want -but often I find that the vocal lines influence how thick or thin I want the sanre to sound, etc.
