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. It can be used as a ride, crash, or splash cymbal.
• They're quiet!
• Separate tones in bow and edge, or bow and bell; choking possible
When the CY-12R/C is used as a ride cymbal, you can play bell shots (p. 6); edge shots (p. 6) can be played when using
it as a crash cymbal.
You can also use choking techniques, whereby you stop the sound by grasping the cymbal edge with your hand (p. 7).
• Compatible with all Roland percussion sound modules (p. 2)
• Three way triggering and positional sensing are possible
(When using the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control) (p. 6)

*1: You need to set each trigger parameter after setting the trigger type.
*2: Notice Regarding TD-8 Upgrade
As of October 2001, “CY1” has been added as a trigger type selection. Selecting “CY1” automatically sets the other trigger
parameters to the recommended values, allowing you to make the settings for the CY-12R/C simply and easily.
You can use the CY-12R/C even with previous TD-8 versions by selecting “PD7,” then manually setting the other trigger
parameters to the recommended values (as shown in the above list).
For more information about the TD-8 upgrade, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
*3: Each trigger parameter can be set independently for the “head-side” and “rim-side.” Set to the same value for the head and
rim. Trigger parameters can be set individually for each patch.
*4: The TD-7 and the HPD-15 support the use of edge shots with the CY-12R/C, but they do not support choking techniques.
