IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
354b
• 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.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
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
jacks. 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.
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.
559a
• 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.
562
• 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 diminished, 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).
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 VCymbal 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 TDW-1
with V-Cymbal Control installed, is different than the
Original version.

TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control
fig.TDW1new_80
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-20, TD-12, TD-10 + TDW-1,
TD-10, TD-8, TD-7, TD-6V/6, TD-5,
TD-3, SPD-20/11/S, 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
10).
