Setting Parameters For Reliable Performance Using Acoustic Drum Triggers And Other Manufacturers' Pads (Advanced Trigger Parameters) - Roland SPD-20 Owner's Manual

Setting Parameters for Reliable Performance using Acoustic Drum
Triggers and Other Manufacturers' Pads
Sometimes, when you use the SPD-20 with an acoustic drum trigger or a pad from another manufacturer,
setting only the Trigger Type may result in poor sound or mistakenly played sounds. In such cases, by set-
ting the Advanced Trigger Parameters, you can make more detailed trigger parameter settings.
Advanced Trigger Parameters are set automatically when the Trigger Type is set. Normally, when
NOTE
you set the Trigger Type, no setting of the Advanced Trigger Parameters is necessary.
The five Advanced Trigger Parameters are as follows:
Scan Time
Retrigger Cancel
Mask Time
Crosstalk Cancel
Rim Sensitivity
How to Set Advanced Trigger Parameters

other settings. Special procedures are required to set the parameters in Advanced Edit mode.
The Advanced Trigger Parameters cannot be found in the Parameter List on the front panel.
NOTE
You cannot make Advanced Trigger Parameter settings for internal pads.
