quiet operation. To get the most out of your TP100/120SD, please read this Owner's Manual
thoroughly. Also, after reading this manual, keep it in a safe place for future reference.

■ Output Level Adjustment
The trigger level output on the TP100/120SD is adjustable. Rotate the knob to the right (look-
ing at the knob from above) increases trigger output level while rotating to the left decreases
output level. The pad's output level should be adjusted in regard to how hard you hit the pad
when playing, to adjust the pad's dynamic range, or to better match the pad with the type of
DTX Series Drum Trigger Module (DTXPRESS/DTX/DTXTREME) you are using.

NOTE: When using the TP100/120SD with a DTX Series Drum Trigger Module (DTXPRESS/DTX/
DTXTREME), enter the trigger module's trigger edit mode and set the [PAD GAIN] param-
eter so that a value of between 90-95% is registered on the display when the pad is struck
ff (fortissimo). Please refer to the Owner's Manual that came with your module for more
information.
If the output level is too high, the pad's dynamic range (the difference between loud and
soft tone) will be reduced and trouble such as double triggers (multiple triggers being pro-
duced by a single stroke) may occur.
Adjusting the Voice Volume
To change the volume of the voice assigned to the TP100/120SD pad, use the
[VOICE] edit mode in the DTX Series Drum Trigger Module. Please refer to the
Owner's Manual that came with your module for more information.
■ Replacing Worn Pads
• After extended use, parts such as the pad rubber, etc., that make up the playing sur-
face will wear out, or their quality will deteriorate (rubber rim cover, body, switch, jacks,
etc.). The life of these parts varies according to the circumstances under which the
TP100/120SD is used.
• Please ask the dealer from whom you purchased the device about replacing worm
parts.
