1-1. Pad Type
Sets the type of pad or trigger sensor that is connected to the trig-
ger input jack q. By selecting the appropriate pad type, pad func-
tions can be used to their full potential.
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
[Range] 1-10
Assigns the trigger input jack number for the pad you want to edit.
* According to the setting in the utility mode's [2-1. Learn Mode]
(P. 30) trigger input jack numbers can be assigned by hitting the pad.
w Type (Pad Type)
Sets the type of pad that is connected to the trigger input jack
assigned in q TRIG IN.
* Values set in [1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity] (P. 12) and [1-4. Self
Rejection] (P. 13) will automatically select the proper value for
the pad type you set here.
* The " " can only be assigned to Input Jack 1. Con-
nect the Hi-hat Controller HH65, HH60, HH80 or HH80A to Input
Jack 1 and set to "
Use a cable with a stereo plug when connecting a Hi-hat controller.
Pad types are defined as follows.

" to use in place of a kick pedal.
The HH65/60 Hi-Hat-Controller can be connected
to Trigger Input 1 and used as a kick drum pedal.
*1 When the TP65S is connected to In-
put 2/6/7, its 3-zone function is avail-
able (pad x1, rim sound x2). If the pad
is connected to any other input, the
rim will produce only one sound.
For closed rim shots, sensitivity is set
high on rim 1 and
rim 2. Sensitivity settings for
right and left rims are identical on
*2 Rim1 and rim2 sounds on the
those on . This provides left-handed drummers with
a proper setting when using a left-handed setting.
*3 When the TP80S is connected to Input 2/6/7, the voice as-
signed to rim 1 will be produced by
Input 6: , Input 7:
rim 2 will be produced by
Input 7: ). (Refer to page 17.)
*4 To use an RHP series pad as a stereo pad, connect it to Input
9/10 and assign the pad voice to Input 9 and rim voice to Input
10. If the pad is connected to any other input, the rim sound will
not be produced.
*5 To use the BP80 as a stereo pad, connect the pad to Input 9/10.
1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity
This function sets the input sensitivity (Gain) and velocity range
(Minimum Velocity) for each input jack q.
q
w
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number. (The same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w GAIN (Input Gain)
[Range] 0-99
Adjusts the input gain level (minimum sensitivity) for the trigger
input jack assigned in step q TRIG IN.
Entering a larger value here allows smaller input levels to sound
the voice.
* This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad
type is set in [1-1. Pad Type]. Some fine-tuning of the value will
be necessary.
e MVel (Minimum Velocity)
[Range] 1-127
Sets the MIDI Velocity (volume) that is transmitted when the pad
is hit the weakest. Large values will produce a high volume level
even if the pad is hit softly. However, this will result in a narrow
volume range making it difficult to adequately produce wider dy-
namic levels.
