T550 8" High Tom on Roland SPD-SX PRO
Setup — T550 8" High Tom on Roland SPD-SX PRO
WorksYes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland SPD-SX PRO: head + rim.
Head
Rim
Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → a TRIGGER IN jack (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8) set to HEAD&RIM — head + rim
Each tom uses one of the four TRIGGER IN jacks in HEAD&RIM mode (head + rim over a single TRS cable). With four jacks you can connect up to four 2-zone pads directly; single-zone pads can share a jack in TRIGx2 mode to reach eight triggers total — Roland: "When connecting two external pads to a single TRIGGER IN jack, set the 'Input Mode' to 'TRIG x 2'" (p.35), and a Y cable (PCS-31L) is listed among the unit's options (p.151).
Cable routing
- Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each Lemon tom pad to a free TRIGGER IN jack (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8).
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > SYSTEM > PAD/TRIG IN, then [F1] (PARAM).
- Play each tom to select its trigger input and set Input Mode to HEAD&RIM.
- Set Trig Type to a tom profile such as PD-85 or PD-105.
- Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold and Curve if needed.
- In KIT EDIT1, assign tom head and rim waves to each trigger input.
Tips
- Only four physical jacks exist — plan which pads get a dedicated HEAD&RIM jack versus a shared TRIGx2 jack.
- Raise XTalk Cancel between toms mounted on the same stand.
