Owner's Manual

CY-6
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).

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.

Making the Settings
Attaching the Cymbal Pad to a Stand
Attach the CY-6 to a separately sold cymbal mount (MDY series).

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.

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.

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

Tighten the bolt with the included tuning key.

Stopper (Be sure to orient it correctly)

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.

2. Attach the CY-6 so the unit is oriented as shown in the diagram. 3. Tighten the wing nut to obtain the desired movement.
Use the included felt washer and the wing nut.
