How to Play a Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke with a PD-8
If a PD-8 is connected, you will be able to use Rim Shot and Cymbal Choke playing technique.
Rim Shot
By playing Rim Shot, you can play two types of sound from one pad. This can be done with a PD-8.
At the time the unit was shipped from the factory, the Snare Drum Rim Shot Instrument was set to
MEMO
Patch 1 Trigger Input 2; confirm this by actually striking the pad.
Normal shot: Strike only the head (center)
Rim shot: Strike both the head and the rim (perimeter) simultaneously.
When playing rim shots, striking only the rim does not produce a solid rim shot sound. Be sure
NOTE
to strike both the head and rim at the same time. With rim shots how hard the drum is struck is
detected in the head portion.
With the SPD-20X, you can choose two separate MIDI sound modules for a dual trigger pad, i.e. send
MEMO
the "head only" to MIDI channel 10, and the "rim" to MIDI channel 11. This allows you to control
instruments from two MIDI systems with one PD-8.
Cymbal Choke
With PD-8, physically grasping the rim of the pad just after the pad is struck stops the sound as
it is made. Before using cymbal choke function on PD-8, please set its TRIG TYPE as CY-5 or CY-8.
This allows you to make the same sound you get when you stop the cymbal or other instrument
from sounding with your hand just after striking it.
