T550 8" High Tom on Roland TD-1

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Roland TD-1.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works on the Roland TD-1 as a 1-zone tom: head only.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → the tom leads on the dedicated connection cable

The Roland TD-1 tom inputs are single-zone — only the head signal is read. Rim hits on a dual-zone tom pad will not produce a separate sound.

Plug the included dedicated connection cable's tom lead into each Lemon tom. Its other end goes to the module's single TRIGGER INPUT connector — each lead is labeled for its pad, and the manual's instruction is simply to "connect the appropriately labeled cable to each pad".

Press the [Select] button to select Drums mode, then long-press the [Metronome] button so the mode lamp blinks (Making Detailed Settings).
Press the [Select] button to blink the Drums mode lamp (Adjust the Pad Sensitivity).
Play the tom pad, then use the [-] [+] buttons to adjust its sensitivity.
Press the [Metronome] button to complete the setting.

Only the head (center piezo) triggers — this module doesn't read the pad's rim piezo.
