T950 10"x5" High Tom on Roland TD-50X

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 10"x5" High Tom when used with the Roland TD-50X.

Yes — the T950 10"x5" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland TD-50X: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 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.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 input on the rear panel.

Press the [TRIGGER] button.
Press the PAGE [UP] button several times to display the topmost page.
Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
Select the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 pad (T1-T4) (strike it or use the cursor buttons).
Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the trigger 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.

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
