Setting The Pad's Minimum Level (Trig Threshold) - Roland Octapad SPD-20X Owner's Manual

Setting the Pad's Minimum Level (TRIG THRESHOLD)

By adjusting the TRIG THRESHOLD in the SYSTEM parameter group you can have a pad produce
a trigger signal only when struck with more than a certain level of force (a "threshold"). This can
be used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to extraneous vibrations from another pad.
However, if you strike the pad with a force less than the Trigger Threshold, it will not sound. In the
diagram below, the pad will sound for 2, but not for 1 or 3. This parameter can be set over a range
of 0 –15.
Factory Trigger Threshold (TRIG THRESHOLD) settings for the internal pad reflect the average user´s
NOTE
preferences. If these settings produce good results for you, then there is no need to change the Trigger
Threshold values.
This parameter is set for all 8 pads, i.e., the same value applies to all pads. However, this parameter can
MEMO
be set independently for each connected external pad.
Trigger Threshold (TRIG THRESHOLD) settings are common to all patches.
