Trigger Settings (TRIGGER)

Here's how to make trigger settings so that the signals from the
pads can be accurately processed by the TD-50.

Specifying the Pad Type

You can specify the type of pad (trigger type) used by each trigger
input of the trigger bank.
Trigger type
The trigger type is a collection of various trigger parameters,
adjusted to values that are appropriate for each pad.
To obtain the optimal settings for the pad used with
each trigger input, specify the model (type) of pad that's
connected.
Trigger bank
A trigger bank contains an entire set of settings for 14
triggers. You can create eight trigger banks.

List" (PDF).

Use the [–] [+] buttons or the dial to specify the trigger
type.
* You can't change the trigger type of a trigger input that's
assigned to a pad that supports a digital connection.
MEMO
When you specify the trigger type, the trigger parameters
(with the exception of certain parameters such as cross-stick
cancel)* are set to optimal values. These values are only general
guidelines; you can make fine adjustments as appropriate
according to how you attach the pad and how you use it.
* For details, refer to "Data List" (PDF).

Specifying a Digitally-Connected Pad

The first time that you connect a pad that supports digital
connection to a DIGITAL TRIGGER IN port, you'll follow the screens
that appear, and specify the trigger input to which the connected
pad is assigned (p. 9).
Here you'll make settings to change the assignment destination.
* If you specify the same trigger input as a pad that is connected
to a TRIGGER IN jack, the pad that's connected to that TRIGGER
IN jack won't produce sound.
* When you execute a factory reset, the connection history and
settings of digitally-connected pads are initialized.

"N/A. "
* You can't specify multiple instances of the same assignment.
