Choking

Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand

immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.

To make use of choking play techniques, you’ll need to

connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound

module that accommodates rim shots.

Troubleshooting

Issues Affecting The Overall System

Check these first

• Is the trigger type set correctly?

Make the trigger parameter settings for your percussion

sound module (p. 2).

• Is a monaural cable being used?

When a monaural cable is used, the sound does not

change when an edge shot or a bell shot is made. Choke

play is not possible, either.

Use stereo cable.

The sound does not change when an edge

shot is made

• Is the cable connected to the BOW/EDGE output?

Make the connection to the BOW/EDGE output to enable

the CY-12R/C to support edge shots (p. 5).

• Are you striking the cymbal in the area with the edge

sensors?

Edge sensors are embedded only in the part of the CY-

12R/C directly in front (p. 6).

The sound does not change when a bell shot

is made

• Is the cable connected to the BOW/BELL output?

Make the connection to the BOW/BELL output to enable

the CY-12R/C to support bell shots (p. 5).

• Use the shoulder of the stick when playing bell shots

(p. 6).

• Adjust the “Scan Time.”

Choke play is not possible

• Are you choking the cymbal in the area with the edge

sensors?

Edge sensors are embedded only in the part of the CY-

12R/C directly in front (p. 7).

Ride cymbal sounds odd

(Other cymbal sound is heard simultaneously)

• If using a sound module other than the TD-10 furnished

with the TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, connect either

the CY-12R/C’s BOW/BELL output or the BOW/EDGE

output (p. 5).

Double sounding

• Are any cables touching the CY-12R/C?

Secure the cables in place with the cable ties so that they

do not touch the units. Also, be careful to make sure that

the cables are not pulled by the movement of a cymbal

when struck (p. 5).

• Are the stopper, felt washer, and wing nut attached

correctly?

Double triggering may occur if the stopper and/or wing

nut is loose. Use a tuning key (drum key) to tighten

properly.

* If double triggering still occurs, try adjusting trigger

parameters, such as Retrigger Cancel, on the sound module you

are using (TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, etc.)

The volume level is too low

• If the cymbal is struck while power to the drum module

(such as the TD-6, TD-8, or TD-10) is turned on, the

response to light hits will be poor. Do not strike pads or

cymbals while turning on the power.

When using the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-

Cymbal Control

No sound is heard

• Is the trigger type set to “CTR”?

Tones from inputs for which the trigger type is set to

“CTR” do not sound (p. 6).

The sound does not vary when the striking

position changes

• The CY-12R/C is capable of the positional detection

feature. Positional detection is possible when

plugged into the specified input on a Roland sound

module with this feature.

• For more on tones that can change according to the

part of the cymbal struck, refer to the tone list in the

Owner's Manual that came with your drum module.

• With trigger types “RdB” and “CrB,” positional

sensing is not possible. Use “RdA” or “CrA.”
