T550 12" Snare on Roland TD-11

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Roland TD-11.

Setup — T550 12" Snare on Roland TD-11

Works

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Roland TD-11: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake → snare pad

Dual-zone triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) are read over the one lead and play separate sounds.

Module settings

  1. In the DRUM KIT screen, press [MENU], scroll to the SYSTEM icon, and press [F3] (SYSTEM).
  2. Use the cursor buttons to select "Pad Settings", press [F3] (ENTER), then press [F1] (TYPE).
  3. Strike the snare to select its input, then set "Pad Type" to PD-105 or PD-85 to match your snare.
  4. Press [F2] (BASIC) to fine-tune "Sensitivity" (1-32) and "Threshold" (0-31).

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. 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.
