T550 12" Snare on Roland SPD-SX PRO
Setup — T550 12" Snare on Roland SPD-SX PRO
WorksThe T550 12" Snare is fully supported on your Roland SPD-SX PRO.
Head
Rim
Wiring: 1× TRS → any TRIGGER IN jack (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8) set to HEAD&RIM — head + rim
The SPD-SX PRO is a sampling pad with four dual-trigger TRIGGER IN jacks rather than a labeled snare input. Set the chosen jack's Input Mode to HEAD&RIM and a single TRS cable carries both zones — head (tip) and rim (ring) trigger independently. The pad plays whatever waves you assign to that trigger input in the kit.
Cable routing
- Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the Lemon snare pad to any free TRIGGER IN jack (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8) on the rear panel.
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > SYSTEM > PAD/TRIG IN, then [F1] (PARAM).
- Select the trigger input you used and set Input Mode to HEAD&RIM so head and rim are read separately.
- Set Trig Type to a 2-zone snare profile such as PD-125 or PD-105 as a starting point, then fine-tune Sensitivity, Threshold and Curve.
- In KIT EDIT, assign a snare wave to the trigger's head and a rimshot/sidestick wave to its rim.
Tips
- Head triggers on the tip, rim on the ring of the same TRS cable.
- Raise XTalk Cancel if a nearby pad on the same stand triggers the snare unintentionally.
