TRIGGER INPUTS Jacks
Accept the pads or kick trigger units you want to
connect to the TD-8.
Use the cable provided with the pad to connect the pad to the
TD-8.
•Trigger input 1/2 (KICK1/2)
With the optional cable (PCS-31) or standard insert
cable, two pads may be connected to this trigger input
jack.
•Trigger input 3 (SNARE)
Only this trigger input can be used for playing the rim
shot (p. 41) and cross stick (p. 42) sounds using the PD-
80R or PD-120. You can play rim shots only (no cross
stick) using the PD-7 or PD-9.
With the PD-80, PD-80R, PD-100, and the PD-120,
detection of the strike position (p. 42) works only with
this trigger input.
•Trigger input 4 (TOM1), 5 (TOM2), 6 (TOM3)
You can play rim shots (p. 41) with the PD-7 or PD-9
connected.
•Trigger input 7 (HI-HAT), 8 (CRASH1), 9 (CRASH2),
10 (RIDE)
With the PD-7 or PD-9 connected, you can play rim
shots (p. 41) and chokes (p. 42).
•Trigger input 11/12 (AUX1/2)
With the optional cable (PCS-31) or standard insert
cable, two pads may be connected to this trigger input
jack. With two pads, you can switch drum kits or
patterns and songs (PAD SWITCH; p. 142).
HH CTRL Jack
Accepts connection of a hi-hat control pedal (FD-7) (p.
27).
FOOT SWITCH Jack
Accepts connection of an optional foot switch (FS-5U).
A foot switch can be used to select kits and start/stop
the sequencer, etc. Use a special PCS-31 cable
(optional) or a standard insert cable (p. 144).
MASTER OUTPUT Jacks (L (MONO)/R)
These jacks output the instrumental sounds of the TD-
8, and are for connection to external audio devices or
amps. While we recommend the use of stereo in order
to get the most out of the TD-8’s sound performance, if
using monaural sound, plug the cable into the
MASTER L (MONO) jack only.
DIRECT OUTPUT Jacks (L/R)
Assigning a sound through these jacks allow you to
isolate it, and use external effects devices. The sound
output from these jacks is not affected by the TD-8’s
internal effects.
PHONES Jack
A pair of stereo headphones can be connected to this
jack. Even if headphones are connected, sound will still
be output from the OUTPUT jacks.
