Trigger Settings

As a drummer, you may want to set your drum triggers carefully to fit
your playing habit and feelings, so as to make the performance more
interesting and professional. You may also need to set the trigger pa-
rameters after a drum pad is replaced. Save the edited trigger setting,
otherwise, the edited data will be lost when you turn off the power.

Description
Include some commonly-used trigger parameters.
Include some special trigger parameters.
Set the hi-hat parameters.
Check in real-time the crosstalk, snare position
sensing and hi-hat pedal depth.
Description
Adjust the head sensitivity.
Higher sensitivity will produce loud sound even when playing softly.
Lower sensitivity will produce sound of low volume even when playing forcefully.
Adjust the rim sensitivity.
Only the trigger signals that are above the threshold level will produce sound.
This setting can prevent unwanted sounding, such as crosstalk from other
pads. If you set the value to a high value, it may not produce sound when strik-
ing softly.
For example, signal B will produce sound but signal A and C will not.
You can adjust the threshold in the following way:
a) Set the value to a low level.
b) Increase this value gradually, then strike the pad and check. Repeat this process
until you get an appropriate level.
Adjust the response of head shot and rim shot (for snare and tom only).
If it produces a rim sound when you strike the head, reduce this value.
If it produces a head sound when you strike the rim, increase this value.
An velocity curve shows the relation between the striking force and the sound
volume. Adjust this setting until the response lets you feel as natural as possi-
ble. Refer to the Curve description below.
It sets the cross stick of the snare. A higher value makes it easy to pro-duce
cross stick sound. A lower value makes it easy to produce rim shot sound.
When the value is set to "0", it produces rim shot sound only.
Note: This setting will apply only when X-Stick is turned on in the Kit menu.
