T950 10"x5" High Tom on Roland SPD-SX

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 10"x5" High Tom when used with the Roland SPD-SX.

Yes — the T950 10"x5" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland SPD-SX: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → a TRIG IN jack (1/2 or 3/4) set to INPUT MODE HEAD&RIM — head + rim

Each 2-zone tom uses one of the two TRIG IN jacks in HEAD&RIM mode (head + rim over a single TRS cable). With only two jacks you can connect at most two 2-zone pads directly. A jack can instead run in TRIGx2 mode, where a Y-cable (stereo 1/4" plug to two 1/4" plugs) splits it into its two numbered triggers as separate single-zone inputs — Roland notes that "if you connect two external pads to one TRIG IN jack, only head shots will be available" (p.27).

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each Lemon tom pad to a free TRIG IN jack (1/2 or 3/4).

Snare and tom setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Module settings

Press [MENU] > SETUP > TRIG IN.
For each tom's trigger input, set INPUT MODE to HEAD&RIM.
Set TRIG TYPE to a tom profile such as PD-85 or PD-105, then adjust PAD SENS, THRESHOLD and the trigger curve.
Assign tom head and rim waves to each trigger input in the KIT PAD screen.

Tips

Only two physical jacks exist — each 2-zone tom needs its own jack in HEAD&RIM mode.
Raise XTALK CANCEL between toms mounted on the same stand.
On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
