Descriptions
If you remove the CY-14R-T/CY-12C-T
Do not place or store the unit in a location where an object might contact the
edge sensor, or where pressure might be applied to the edge sensor.
Such conditions will cause malfunctions.
Making the Settings
Mounting on the Stand
1. Use a commercially available drum key to tighten the stopper bolt.
- This step is not necessary if you’re using a Roland-made stand that is equipped with a stopper.
The stopper keeps the V-Cymbal from turning, preventing the tangling of cables on the stand.
2. Attach the V-Cymbal, while positioning it so the Roland logo is located on the side opposite the performer.
3. Tighten the included felt washer and the cymbal nut to obtain the desired movement.
- If you are using a Roland-made stand that includes a felt washer and cymbal nut, use the felt washer and cymbal nut that are included with the stand, and do not use the felt washer and cymbal nut that are included with the CY-14R-T/CY-12C-T.
- Double sounding may occur if the cymbal nut is loose.
4. Secure the cables in place with the cable tie, and leave some slack in the cables to ensure they are not pulled by the movement of the V-Cymbal pads.
- Take care to ensure that the cables do not touch the V-Cymbal pads and/ or the stand. A cable touching a V-Cymbal pad or a stand may cause double sounding or other incorrect operation.
Connecting to a Drum Sound Module
Using the included connection cable, connect the V-Cymbal to the drum sound module.
- Use the supplied connection cables (stereo) to make the connections.
If mono cables are used, edge shots, bell shots, and choke play cannot be supported.
Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the V-Cymbal pad.
About three-way triggering (CY-14R-T only)
The CY-14R-T can take advantage of your percussion sound module’s three-way
triggering functionality to allow you to play bow, bell, and edge separately.
Connect the two outputs BOW/BELL and BOW/EDGE to the drum sound module at the same time.
For details on the connection method and settings, refer to the owner’s manual for your drum sound module.
- If you won’t be using the three-way triggering functionality, connect the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack (not both) to your drum sound module.
Recommended Parameter Settings
These are the recommended values for the trigger parameters when using the CY-
14R-T/CY-12C-T with various drum sound modules.
If the “PAD TYPE” or “TRIG TYPE” of your drum sound module provides a “CY14RT” or “CY12CT” setting, choose either of those settings.
If “CY14RT” or “CY12CT” is not one of the available values, refer to the support information on the Roland website.
You may need to adjust the trigger parameters depending on how you’ve mounted the CY-14R-T/CY-12C-T and the location at which you’ve installed it.
For details on editing refer to the owner’s manual of your drum sound module.
Playing Method
The response to various playing methods depends on the drum sound module. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your drum sound module.
