15" Dual-Zone China on Roland TD-50

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Dual-Zone China when used with the Roland TD-50.

Yes — the 15" Dual-Zone China works as a full 2-zone crash on the Roland TD-50: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 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-50 supports Roland CY-series 2-zone cymbals.

Cable routing

Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal to the CRASH1 or CRASH2 input on the rear panel.

Module settings

Press the [TRIGGER] button.
Press the PAGE [UP] button to access page 1 (TRIG BASIC).
Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
Select the CRASH1 or CRASH2 pad (C1, C2) (strike it or use the cursor buttons).
Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the Trig Type to the model that most closely matches your connected pad (the full trigger-type list is in the module's Data List).
For finer control, press [F3] (SENS) and adjust Sensitivity (1.0-32.0) on the TRIGGER SENS screen.

Tips

Bow and edge zones respond independently.
Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge.
The DIGITAL TRIGGER IN jacks are for Roland digital pads (CY-18DR) only.
