T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland Octapad SPD-30
Setup — T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland Octapad SPD-30
WorksYes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland Octapad SPD-30: head + rim.
Head
Rim
Wiring: 1× TRS → any EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT jack (1/KICK, 2/SNARE, 3/HI-HAT or 4/RIDE) with a 2-zone Pad Type — head + rim
The Octapad SPD-30 is an eight-pad performance pad whose external triggers live on four EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT jacks. The jacks are labeled 1/KICK, 2/SNARE, 3/HI-HAT and 4/RIDE, but the manual notes you can use them as you like. Connect the Lemon snare pad to any free jack with a stereo (TRS) cable and choose a dual-trigger Pad Type so the head (Inst Head) and rim (Inst Rim) read independently.
Cable routing
- Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the Lemon snare pad to any free EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT jack (1/KICK, 2/SNARE, 3/HI-HAT or 4/RIDE) on the rear panel.
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > PAD > EXTERNAL to open the "PAD SETTING-EXTERNAL" screen.
- Hit the connected snare pad to select the input whose settings you want to edit.
- Turn [Knob 1] (SEL) to select "Pad Type", then turn [Knob 3] (–/+) to set a 2-zone pad profile such as PD-105 or PD-125.
- Turn [Knob 1] (SEL) to Sensitivity, Threshold and Velocity Curve and adjust each with [Knob 3] (–/+) if the default response needs tuning.
- In [MENU] > INST, assign a snare wave to Inst Head and a rimshot/sidestick wave to Inst Rim for that trigger input.
Tips
- A stereo (TRS) cable is required — head triggers on the tip, rim on the ring of the same cable.
- Raise the X-Talk Cancel value on this input if a nearby pad on the same stand triggers the snare unintentionally.
