Setup details by role
Snare pad 2-zone 1× TRS → SNARE input (1/4" TRS jack)
Dual-zone triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. The module's snare input reads both piezo (head) and rim switch/piezo signals.
Tom pad 2-zone 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 inputs (1/4" TRS jacks)
Dual-zone tom triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection per tom input.
Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → KICK input (1/4" TRS jack)
Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 2-zone 1× TRS → CRASH1 or CRASH2 input on the rear panel
Dual-zone crash triggering: bow (tip) and edge (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge. The TD-08 supports Roland CY-series 2-zone cymbals.
3-zone ride 2-zone 1× TRS: Ride 1 (bow/edge) → RIDE input on the rear panel
Plug the Lemon ride's Ride 1 cable into the RIDE input for bow + edge — no cymbal modification. The RIDE input's second zone is freely assignable, so give it a ride-edge or crash instrument.
Hi-hat Continuous 1× TRS → HI-HAT input on the rear panel + 1× TRS → HH CTRL input on the rear panel
Continuous hi-hat control. Supports the FD-7 hi-hat control pedal.
