¢ Should you remove the stopper bolt, 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, 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.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the
same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
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.
Maintenance
e 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
jacks. 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 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.
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 the included cable to make connections. If using some
other make of connection cable, please note the following
precautions.
¢ Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. Since the sensitivity of the pad will be dimin-
ished, the sound may become extremely soft or even
inaudible. For information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Getting Started
Features
Similar touch and feel as with acoustic
cymbals
The superior design has taken into account not only the
shape of the cymbal, but also the bounce of the stick, and
even the movement caused by playing, making it
possible to play with the same feel as an acoustic cymbal.
They’re quiet!
Rubber is used on the striking surface for a damping
effect.
Edge shots and choking are possible
Sensors in the edge portion make it possible to get
different sounds by striking the bow (upper surface) and
the edge. Choke play—stopping the sound by grasping
the edge portion—is also possible (p. 8). On the CY-15R
(Ride), sensors in the bell portion make it possible to get
different sounds by striking the bow (upper surface) and
the bell (p. 8). |
Three way triggering and positional
sensing are possible (When using the
TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control)
Using the CY-15R (Ride) together with the TD-10
upgraded with the “TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control”
makes it possible to get different tones from the
positional sensing of the bow portion (p. 8), and from
three play methods: bow shot, bell shot, and edge shot
(Three Way Triggering, see p. 9).
Compatible with all Roland sound
modules
Compatible models: TD-10 + TDW-1, TD-10, TD-8, TD-7,
TD-5, SPD-20/11, and HPD-15
Roland sound modules support methods of play such as
edge shots and choke play (p. 11).
* You have to set the trigger parameters. For details, refer to
Trigger Parameter Settings for the Sound Module ( p.
10).
About the TDW-1
(
TDW-1 is an expansion board for TD-10. This adds new
| sounds (360 tones and 50 kits) and functions to TD-10.
There are two versions of the TDW-1 (Original version
| and “TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control” version). The
TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control provides trigger types
exclusively for the V-Cymbals. This makes it possible to
use three way triggering and positional sensing on the
| cy- 15R (Ride), enabling the expressive power of the V-
Cymbal to be used to the fullest.
| When using the V-Cymbals, Roland suggests using the
§ TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control as the sound
' module.
* The screen displayed when powering up with the TOW-1
with V-Cymbal Control installed, is different than the
Original version.

other incorrect operation.
* Double sounding may vecur if the ing nut ts loose.
* Do NOT use the washer or felt included with the cymbal mount (MDY-7U or
MDY-10UD.
There are two ways to use the drum stand mounting rod.
Before changing how the rod fits, fixing screw, then turn the
inner bolt 90 degrees.
* When the mounting method B is used, the rod cannot be
secured in place correctly unless it is inserted a certain length.
Make sure that the unit is not tilted when secured in place
with the stand fixing screw. Also, the rod is designed so that it
cannot be inserted farther than a certain length, so do not try
to force it further than it will go.

TRIGGER INPUT
Nin
The TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, which is the version
with full support for V-Cymbal, provides trigger types
exclusively for the CY-15R. When using the “RIDE” AND the
AUX 1 inputs at the same time, it is possible to play BELL,
BOW and EDGE areas allowing three way triggering support
(different sounds for bow, bell, and edge shots). For more
information, refer to “Playing Different Sounds with the
CY-15R’s Bow, Bell, and Edge (Three Way Triggering
Feature) (p. 9).”
Oke
If you are using a sound module other than the TD-10 +
TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control (such as a non-expanded TD-
10 or the Original version of TDW-1), then use either the
BOW/BELL output or the BOW /EDGE output, but NOT
both. When the two outputs are used simultaneously, the
two connected trigger inputs are sounded at the same time.

Playing Methods
Bow Shot
This is the most common playing method, playing the
middle area of the 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. When played as shown in the figure,
‘
the “rim-side” sound of the connected input is triggered.
” —— Edge sensor
* On the CY-15R, edge shots are possible when the connection is
made to the BOW/EDGE output.
Bell Shot (CY-15R Only)
This playing method involves striking the bell. On the CY-
15R, when played as shown in the figure, the “rim-side”
sound of the connected input is triggered.
* Bell shots are possible when the connection is made to the CY-
15R’s BOW/BELL output.
ore
On the CY-12H and the CY-14C, bell shots are not supported.
Choke Play
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the figure. If
you choke an area where there is no sensor, the sound does
not stop.
Roland logo
Edge sensor
When using the TOW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, positional
sensing on the bow portions of the CY-15R/CY-14C is
possible.
The trigger type must be set on “Rd A” or “CrA.”
IMPORTANT: You need to choose a cymbal tone that is
compatible with positional sensing (some TD-10 and TDW-1
_ride cymbals). Refer to the instrument list in the owner's
manual for the respective sound module.
vole
The CY-15R and CY-14C are 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 TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control Users
Playing Different Sounds with the CY-15R’s Bow, Bell, and Edge
(Three Way Triggering Feature)
When you use the TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, which completely supports the V-Cymbal, three way triggering (bow, bell,
and edge shot) performances that use both outputs on the CY-15R are possible.
Oke
The Original version of the TDW-1 and the non-expanded TD-10 do NOT support three way triggering (p. 11).
Connection Examples
As shown below, connect the two outputs on the CY-15R to the two trigger inputs on the TD-10 (TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control)
and make the'settings for the corresponding trigger types.
