T550 8" High Tom on Roland V31

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Roland V31.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland V31: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake → one per tom pad

Dual-zone tom triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) are read over the one lead per tom input.

Cable routing

Plug the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 connector on the DB-25 cable snake into each tom pad.
A fourth tom goes on the rear-panel TRIGGER IN (AUX/TOM 4) jack, with a ¼″ TRS cable (p. 19–20). That single jack is shared: set Trigger Input AUX/TOM4 Select to “TOM4” to play a tom there — “You can’t use AUX and TOM4 at the same time” (p. 159).

Module settings

Press the [MENU] button.
Use the cursor buttons to select "SYSTEM" -> "TRIGGER", then press [ENTER].
Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER - BANK screen.
Select the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 input (strike the pad or use the cursor buttons).
Use 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] (BASIC) and adjust the pad's Sensitivity.

Tips

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