Adjusting the Sensitivity of Individual Pads

Because the following settings are automatically set to the appropriate
values for each pad when you specify the trigger type (p. 49), there
is normally no need for you to edit them.
You can edit these settings if you want to make finer adjustments, or if
you want to use an acoustic drum trigger.

Explanation
You can adjust the sensitivity of
the pads to accommodate your
personal playing style.
Increasing this value increases
the sensitivity, so that even soft
strikes on the pad are sounded
at high volume. Decreasing this
value decreases the sensitivity,
so that even strong strikes on
the pad are sounded at low
volume.
Adjusts the balance between
the force of striking the rim or
edge and the loudness of the
sound.
If you increase this value, even
soft strikes on the rim are
sounded at high volume. If
you decrease this value, even
strong strikes on the rim are
sounded at low volume.
This is available for pads that
support rim shots.
Parameter Value
LOW, NORMAL,
Global Sens
HIGH

connected to a TRIGGER IN port, or with a maximum of 127+32
(when MIDI CONTROL HI-Reso Velocity is "ON") for pads that
support HI-Reso Velocity and are digitally connected to a DIGITAL
TRIGGER IN port. For details, refer to "Data List" (PDF).

Making Hi-Hat Settings

If you are using a V hi-hat, adjust the offset on the TD-50X.
This is necessary in order to correctly detect open/close operations
and pedal movement.
Reference
5 For details on how to adjust the offset, refer to "Making Hi-Hat
Settings" (p. 13).
5 Make detailed adjustments to the parameters as necessary. For
details, refer to "Data List" (PDF).

Making Detailed Trigger Settings

Because the following settings are automatically set to the appropriate
values for each pad when you specify the trigger type (p. 49), there
is normally no need for you to edit them.
You only need to make these settings when you want finer control
over the detailed pad sensitivity settings, signal detection, strike point
detection and so on.
