installable options; see p. 7, p. 8.)

................................................................................................

003

• 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.

................................................................................................

004

• 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.

................................................................................................

005

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

................................................................................................

006

• 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.

................................................................................................

011

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind

(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

................................................................................................

013

• 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.

................................................................................................

................................................................................................

2

014

• Do not drop the unit!

................................................................................................

• To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the unit, do not touch anything inside the frame of the PD-80 and PD-80R.

................................................................................................

104

• 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.

................................................................................................

106

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

................................................................................................

118

• Should you remove screws, nuts, bolts, springs, washers, etc., make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

................................................................................................

• Assemble the drum stand and TD-8KV carefully, to avoid pinching your fingers.

................................................................................................

• Make sure to firmly tighten all clamps and bolts after you have assembled the stand and attached a pad or unit to it. You should probably also try to make a habit of checking and retightening them if necessary before every performance. You risk injury if you have loose screws or clamps, since a pad or unit can fall unexpectedly.

................................................................................................

• Be sure to tighten the head tension before using the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80. Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head.

................................................................................................

• Do not apply excessive force to the sensor

(and on the KD-80, the cushion) located below the center of the head of the KD-80,

PD-80R, and PD-80. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.

................................................................................................

• Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor of the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80, changes in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the sensor.

................................................................................................

• Please be aware that by using a felt beater for the KD-80, you risk causing damage to the head as a result of the metal portions of the beater that can become exposed when the felt wears thin. For the kick pedal, we recommend that you use only the supplied beater, or a commercially available plastic beater.

................................................................................................

• To keep the KD-80 and FD-6 from slipping or moving during play, the tips of the legs installed on the stand and the tips of the anchor bolts are pointed. Handle with care to avoid injury.

................................................................................................

• Brushes can be used to play the PD-80R and

PD-80. When using brushes, be sure to use nylon brushes. Using metal brushes will not only scratch the head, but can also be hazardous, since the tip of the brush may catch in the mesh of the net.

................................................................................................

• The rubber portion of the PD-80R’s hoop is one component that eventually wears out

(the more so if numerous rim shots are performed), and will require replacement.

Errors may occur when attempting rim shots once the rubber portion has worn out. If this occurs, replace the hoop rubber. For more on replacing the hoop rubber, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

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

Placement

354a

• 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.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

357

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the unit. 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

401a

• 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.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

553

• 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.

556

• 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.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

558d

• 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.

562

• 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 precautions.

• 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.

About the Mesh Head

Adjusting the Head Tension

The KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80 are shipped from the factory with the head tension loosened. Be sure to adjust the tension before use.

In general, a tension that produces a strike response approximately the same as an acoustic drum will be appropriate.

1.

Use the included tuning key to tighten the tuning bolts.

Tighten the bolts until you achieve the correct amount of space between the frame and the hoop, which is:

KD-80: approximately 7.5 mm

PD-80R/PD-80: approximately 7 mm

KD-80

Hoop

Frame

• Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head.

• Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings, you could likely experience the following problems:

Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume).

The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity).

7.5 mm

• On the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80, adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, and does not change the pitch of the sound, as it would on an acoustic drum.

• The head tension will change as the instrument is used, so you should readjust when necessary.

• The head stretches when used for extended periods, so even when properly adjusted to 7.5 mm (KD-80), or 7 mm

(PD-80R and PD-80) by means of the following procedure, you may not achieve the same degree of tension as when the head was initially adjusted. Strike the head to check the feel and response as you adjust the tension.

• Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the numerical order shown in the diagram.

Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions.

About the Mesh Head

Replacing the Head

When the Head Should Be

Replaced

The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following occurs:

• The head surface is torn

• Striking points are no longer detected correctly, even when the head tension is properly adjusted.

• Slack portions remain in the head even after the head tension is properly adjusted.

Replacement heads (optional)

MH-8 Mesh Head: for either KD-80, PD-80R or PD-80

Replacing the Head

1.

Remove all tuning bolts and washers.

6.

Pass the tuning bolts through the washers, then attach them to the hoop and frame.

7.

Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to

“Adjusting the Head Tension” (p. 6).

Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions such as failure to accurately detect the striking location.

About the Lock Bushings

The KD-80 and the PD-80R are provided with lock bushings to prevent rotation and loosening of the tuning bolts caused by vibration transmitted from the hoop.

If a lock bushing happens to become separated from the frame while the head is being replaced, position the bushing so its four slots are aligned with the corresponding ridges in the frame, then press down firmly on the bushing.

Lock Bushing When replacing the head of the KD-80 or the PD-80R, press the lock bushing (in figure below) in place with your finger as you remove each tuning bolt, to prevent the bushings from being pulled off the frame.

Only the KD-80 and the PD-80R are provided with lock bushings.

• To attach the stand holder, remove the four 12 mm screws (M5 x 12) from the bottom of the TD-8 and use them. Use of other screws may result in damage to the unit.

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

Connecting the CY-12R/C

1.

Use the included cable to connect one of the CY-

12R/C’s output jacks (either one, but not both) to the TD-8's trigger input jack.

If the CY-12R/C is to be used as a crash cymbal, connect it to the BOW/EDGE output jack; if it is to be used as a ride cymbal, connect it to the BOW/BELL output jack.

2.

Secure the cable with cable ties.

Secure the cables in place with the cable tie, while leaving some slack in the cables to ensure that they are not pulled by the movement of the cymbal units when struck.

Secure the cable with the cable tie

Take care to ensure that the cables do not touch the cymbal units and/or the stand. A cable touching a cymbal unit or a stand may cause double sounding or other incorrect operation.

When you have finished making the connections, proceed with the

TD-8's settings.

Settings optimized for the TD-8KV are provided in factory settings on the TD-8 (Trigger Bank 1).

1.

Press [SETUP] → [F1 (TRIG)].

2.

Check to see if you have things set as shown in the screen below.
