WARNING

- Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

- Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the unit.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.

- This unit should be used only with a rack or stand that is recommended by Roland.

WARNING

- When using the unit with a rack or stand recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

- In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

CAUTION

- Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

- Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

CAUTION

- Should you remove wing nut (for CY-6), washers (for CY-6), or stand fixing screw (for PD-6) make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the following:

Placement

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it's played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.

Features

• Velocity sensitive cymbal pad provides rich expression.
• Designed specially for cymbals, the pad offers superior playing feel. Even the movement caused by playing is simulated.
• You can use bow shots, edge shots, and choking techniques.
• Compatible with all Roland percussion sound modules (p. 7).

Making the Settings

Attaching the Cymbal Pad to a Stand

Attach the CY-6 to a separately sold cymbal mount (MDY series).

1. Use a commercially available tuning key to tighten the stopper bolt.

The stopper keeps the cymbal pad from turning, and prevents the cables from catching or getting tangled on the stand.

Tighten the bolt with the included tuning key. Stopper (Be sure to orient it correctly)

1. Attach the CY-6 so the unit is oriented as shown in the diagram.
2. Tighten the wing nut to obtain the desired movement.

Use the included felt washer and the wing nut.

Poland Wing Nut Felt Washer

Connecting to a Percussion Sound Module (TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, etc.)

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

1. Use the included connection cable and connect the output jack of the CY-6 to the trigger input jack of the percussion sound module.

Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the CY-6. This will prevent strain from being applied to the CY-6.

To make use of edge shot and choking play techniques, you'll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots.

2. Make the trigger settings for the percussion sound module. For the recommended values, refer to p. 7.

Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings for the percussion sound module, you could likely experience the following problems:

• Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume)
• The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity)

For information on how to change the parameters for a percussion sound module, refer to the documentation for the percussion sound module you're using.

Playing the CY-6

Bow Shot

This is the most common playing method, playing the pad face of the cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of the connected trigger input.

Roland Bow

Edge Shot

This playing method involves striking the edge with the shoulder of the stick. It corresponds to the sound of the “rim-side” of the connected trigger input.

To make use of edge shot, you'll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots.

Poland Edge

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.

Making the Settings

Attaching the Cymbal Pad to a Stand

Attach the PD-6 to a separately sold drum stand (MDS-6, MDS-7U, MDS-8, or MDS-10).
