After- wards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry doth. + 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 its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions. +. When connecting/ disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself —never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements. + _ This instrument is designed to minimize the extra- neous 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. + When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials. +_ Use a provided cable or a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precau- tions. *_ Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Attaching to a Stand Attach the CY-12R/ C with the optional cymbal mount (MDY series), or drum stand cymbal mount (MDS series).

1. Use a commercially available drum key to

tighten the stopper bolt. The stopper keeps the CY-12F/ C from tuming, and prevents the cables from catching or getting tangled on the stand. Tighten the boit with à commercially available drum key Stopper > (Be sure to orient it correctiy)

2. Attach the CY-12R/C so the unit is oriented as

shown in the diagram (bolt should be opposite the output jacks).

3. Tighten the wing nut to obtain the desired

movement. Use the included felt washer and the wing nut. Poser GS FeltWasher + Double sounding may occur if the wing nut is loose. + Do notuse the washer or felt induded with the cymbal mount (MDY series). Connecting to a Percussion Sound Module (TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, etc.) About the Output J acks TheCY-12F/ C features two differentoutputjacks, BOW/ BELL and BOW/ EDGE. Use the BOW/ BELL output jack when you want to play the bow and the bell sounds; use the BOW/ EDGE output jack when you want to play the bow and the edge sounds. Use either the BOW/ BELL or BOW/ EGDE output jack, but not both at the same time (except for the TD-10 +TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control). Connecting both jacks results in two separate trigger inputs playing simultaneously.

If you are using the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, you can use both the BOW/ BELL and BOW/ EGDE output jacks at the same time (Three Way Triggering). For more details, refer to “If Using TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control” (p.@. Making the Connections To prevent malfunction and/ or damage to speakers or other devices, always tum down the volume, and tum off the power on all devices before making any connections.

1. Use the included cable to connect one of the CY-

12R/C's output jacks (either one, but not both, EXCEPT when using with the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control installed) to the drum sound module's trigger input jack. Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the CY-12R/ C. This will prevent strain from being applied to the CY-12R C.

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 aocommodates rim Shots. The TD-8s “1/ 2 (KICK 1/ 2)” and “11/ 12 (AUX 1/ 2)” do not support rim shots.

2. Secure the cable with cable ties.

Leave enough slack so that the cable is not pulled by any shaking or vibration of the cymbal when it is struck. Wind the cable tie twice Tighten it Leave some not to slip Slack in the cable, Turn back to fix the cable Secure the cable in place with the cable tie Take care to ensure that the cable does not come into contact with the cymbal or stand. Contact between the cable and the cymbal or stand can result in problems,

such as double sounding.

3. Make the trigger settings for the percussion

sound module. For the recommended values, refer to p. 2. Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings for the percussion sound module. + Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume) *_ The volumeis too low (reduced sensitivity) + Double sounding may oocur For information on how to change the parameters for a percussion sound module, refer to its owners manual. If Using TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control When you use the TD-10 + TDW-1 V-Cymbal Control, three way triggering is possible.

• Three Way Triggering is not available with the TD-8. About Three Way Triggering By using two cables to connect the CY-12R/ C and a TD-10, you can then perform using three different tones: bow, bell, and edge. TDW-1 specifications allow the Three Way Triggering function to be used with only one V-Cymbal. For example, if you use the Three Way Triggering function with one CY-15R, you would not be able to use Three Way Triggering if you added another CY-12R C.

The TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control Owner‘s Manual contains an explanation of how the CY-15R is used with Three Way Triggering. Substitute “CY-12R/ C” for “CY-15R” as you read through the text. Playing Methods Bow Shot This is the most common playing method, playing the pad face ofthe cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of the connected trigger input. 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 aocommodates rim shots. Edge sensor Bell Shot This playing method involves striking the bel. It corresponds to the sound of the “rim-side” of the connected trigger input. + To make use of bell shot, you'll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots. + Usethe shoulder of the stick when playing bell shots. Bell

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 acoommodates 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 shotis 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. ©. 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). + Adjustthe “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- 12F/ C directly in front (p. ?. Ride cymbal sounds odd (Other cymbal sound is heard simultaneously) + _Ifusing a sound module other than the TD-10 fumished with the TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, connect either the CY-12F/ 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 correctiy? Double triggering may oocur if the stopper and/ or wing nut is loose. Use a tuning key (drum key) to tighten propery. *_Ifdoubletriggering still occurs, try adjusting trigger parameters, such as Retrigger Cancel, on the sound module you areusing (TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, etc.) The volume level is too low + _Ifthe cymbal is struck while power to the drum module (such as the TD-6, TD-8, or TD-10) is tumed on, the response to light hits will be poor. Do not strike pads or cymbals while tuning 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.” Specifications CY-12R/C: V-Cymbal Ride/Crash Pad Size: 12inches Trigger: 3 (Bow/ Ball, Edge) Dimensions: 300 (W) x 300 (D) x 51 (H) 11-13 16 (W) x 11-13 16 (W) x 2-1/ 16(H) Weight: 11kg 21bs70z Accessories: Owner‘s Manual, Connection Cable, Wing Nut, Felt Washer, Stopper, Cable Tie Options: Cymbal Mount (MDY-10U) Stand (MDS-6, MDS-8, MDS-10) *_In the interest of product improvement, the specifications and/or appearance of this unit are subject to change without prior notice.
