Eliminate Crosstalk Between Pads [F4 (Xtalk)] - Roland TD-12 Owner's Manual

Eliminate Crosstalk Between
Pads [F4 (XTALK)]
When two pads are mounted on the same stand, hitting one
pad may trigger the sound from another pad unintentionally.
(This is called crosstalk.) Eliminate this by adjusting Xtalk
Cancel on the pad that is sounding inadvertently.
In some cases, you can prevent crosstalk between two
pads by increasing the distance between them.
1. Press [TRIGGER] - [F1 (BANK)] - [F4 (XTALK)].
2. Use [F1]–[F3] to select the parameter.
3. Strike the pad you wish to set.
The cursor will move to the trigger input number for the
struck pad.
You can also select by using [CURSOR] or [TRIG
SELECT].
4. Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to adjust the setting.
5. When you're finished, press [EXIT] to return to
the "DRUM KIT" screen.

Crosstalk Example: If you hit the snare pad and
the tom 1 also sounds
Set the snare and tom 1 to the same XTALK GROUP.
Raise the "XTALK CANCEL" for the pad being used for
the tom 1. The tom 1 pad will be less prone to receive
crosstalk from other pads. With a setting "OFF," crosstalk
prevention will not work.
* If the value is set too high, and two pads are played
simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully may
not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the
minimum value required to prevent crosstalk.
