T550 8" High Tom on Roland V51

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Roland V51.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland V51: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake

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 connector on the DB-25 cable snake.
Tom 4 may be available as a direct jack on the rear panel for an additional tom.

Press the [SETUP] button.
Use the cursor buttons to select "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 [-] [+] 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] (BASIC) and adjust the pad's Sensitivity.

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