Trigger Setup Edit

Trigger Setup Edit contains various settings related to trigger input signals received from pads
or drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) that are connected to the trigger input jacks. These set-
tings let you optimize the DTX500 for best operation and response to these signals.
If you are using drum triggers attached to acoustic drums, or pads other than those that came
with the DTX500 set, you'll need to adjust the sensitivity. This section also has settings that help
prevent crosstalk* and double triggering*.
* Crosstalk: The interference between trigger signals of physically adjacent pads, producing unexpected notes.
* Double triggering: The condition where a single pad hit causes multiple (usually two) triggers.

Trigger Setup procedure

If you want to replace some of the pads from your drum set, or if
you need to solve problems with double triggering or crosstalk,
the Trigger Setup provides more detailed settings—such as
changing the preset's trigger setup—for individual pads.
If you've created a custom setup for these reasons or others, that
setup can be saved to one of the Trigger Setup locations (8–11).
