Description
This specifies the detection time for the trigger
signal. Increasing this will increase latency/delay,
so the factory presets are set low, and it is not
recommended to change them. If you are
programming a new trigger, settings that are too
low will yield very unpredictable dynamics, and
difficulty getting loud hits. Values that are too
high may cause difficulty with rimshots, and as
mentioned, will increase latency.
Adjust this to prevent false triggers that occur
very soon after the initial trigger, causing a
"flamming" sound. Turning this up too high will
cause notes to me missed during faster playings
or buzz rolls.
Adjust this in conjunction with the Mask Time to
prevent false triggers that happen shortly after
the initial trigger (after 20 ms). For example, if
you are programming an acoustic drum trigger
and the drum it is attached to has a long ringing
sound, this setting will help filter false triggers due
to the late ringing.
Provides an extra false trigger filter decay for
cymbal edges, intended to prevent any false
triggers due to the cymbal swinging on the stand.
This is only required if you get very late false
triggers after a very hard cymbal crash. Generally,
this shouldn't need to be adjusted.
Sets the minimum time you must grab and hold
the edge of a cymbal in order for it to register a
cymbal choke/mute. Lower values will make it
easier to choke, but may also cause unintended
chokes from your drumstick. Values that are too
high may cause an uncomfortable delay from the
moment of grabbing the cymbal until the choke
occurs.
Swaps the trigger input for the bell and the edge.
This setting is only needed with certain cymbal
pad brands.
