T550 12" Kick on Roland SPD-SX PRO

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Kick when used with the Roland SPD-SX PRO.

Setup — T550 12" Kick on Roland SPD-SX PRO

Works

Yes — the T550 12" Kick works as a full kick on the Roland SPD-SX PRO: single zone.

Trigger

Wiring: 1× TS → a TRIGGER IN jack (single-zone; TS grounds the jack's second trigger)

Single-zone kick trigger. Every TRIGGER IN jack carries two numbered trigger inputs on one TRS connector (Specifications, p.150), so the ring is always a live trigger — the rim of this pad in HEAD&RIM mode, or a second pad in TRIGx2 mode (p.102). Use a mono TS cable: its sleeve grounds that second trigger, where a TRS cable would leave it open.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a 1/4" TS (mono) cable from the Lemon kick pad to a free TRIGGER IN jack.

Module settings

  1. Press [MENU] > SYSTEM > PAD/TRIG IN, then [F1] (PARAM), and play the kick to select its trigger input.
  2. Set Trig Type to a kick profile such as KD-10 or KT-10.
  3. Adjust Threshold and Mask Time to stop double-triggering from beater rebound.

Tips

  1. Use a TS cable, not TRS — the kick is single-zone and a TS sleeve grounds the jack's second trigger input.
  2. Raise Mask Time if a single kick produces a double sound.
