This Function simply allows you to select one of the four Trigger Setups in the DM
Pro. All Trigger Setup Values remain in memory, so there is no need to store your
edits. Any changes made to Trigger Setups will remain until changed again.
The idea here is that a busy drummer's life can be a constant flow between the
rehearsal room, a recording studio session, the evening gig at a nightclub, and then
back to the rehearsal room. If s/he uses different Pads at one spot or another, or if
the requirements of the location mandate a different approach to playing or isolation
of the pads, the drummer can optimize the DM Pro for use in four entirely different
environments. Setting up the Triggers after that point becomes as simple as plugging
in the pads and calling up the proper Trigger Setup.
To summarize, these are the Functions which are stored as a Setup, as opposed to
being stored with each Drumkit:
Per Pad
Aux/Hat Pedals
All Trigger Inputs (globally)
Remember, the Note Number Assignments for each Trigger are stored separately,
with the Drumkit.
To choose which of the four Trigger Setups you wish to use, move the cursor beneath
the Value and turn the Value encoder for the desired Setup:
1 1 0
frame! Do not strike any regular Triggers during this adjustment.
The DM Pro will "listen" to all 14 pads and the Noise Suppression sensor
to see what signals they are picking up as you strike the frame.
While hitting the frame in several places, adjust the Noise Suppression
value until no Triggers are false-triggering (watch the circles at the
bottom of the display and/or listen). A Value closer to 0 will filter out
more noise. Values approaching -59 filter out less noise.
Important note: If Noise Suppression is set to OFF, then the Crosstalk
Function is active. If the Noise Suppression Function is set to
something between -59 and 0, then the Crosstalk Function is
replaced by the Noise Suppression Function.
