What is the trigger type?
Trigger types are groups of parameter settings whose values are adjusted specifically
for each type of pad. When you select the trigger type for the connected pad, the
various trigger parameters are as a result automatically set to the proper values,
allowing you to play without further problems. You only make fine adjustments to
individual parameters for your pad if you are unable to get the pad to play right even
after selecting the appropriate trigger type.
5. If necessary, press the [SELECT] button to make fine adjustments to the trigger type
parameters.
For more detailed information about each parameter refer to the "Parameter List" (p.
27).
6. Press the [METRONOME] button to return to the normal tempo screen.
7. Set the pad sound and sensitivity.
While referring to "Connecting Two RP-2 Pads" (p. 15) in "Setting the Sound You'll Hear and
the Sensitivity," set the sound and sensitivity for the pad.
The RM-2 features kick drum sounds. With a KD-7/80/120 connected, you can then
practice using the combination of kick drum and pad. When using a KD-7/80/120, use
the "20: Bass drum (22")," "21: Marching bass drum 1 (18")," or "22: Marching bass
drum 2 (24")" sound.
