Storing Trigger Settings; Trig Edit Menu; Trigger Input Parameters - Pearl Red Box RBM 20 Owner's Manual

STORING TRIGGER SETTINGS

Any changes you make to the parameters in the Trig. Edit Menu will remain for the current session
but will return to their defaults if you turn off the module. We recommend storing your settings
when you change them so you can use them in future sessions.
To store Trig. Edit settings:
1. Be sure you are in the Trig. Edit Menu by pressing TRIG EDIT.
2. Press SAVE.
3. A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice. Press
CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel storing your Trig. Edit settings.
Press YES (F1) to store them.

TRIG EDIT MENU

The RBM-20's Trig. Edit Menu contains several pages of parameters related to triggering
(striking pads, cymbals, etc.). The settings in these pages affect ALL Kits.

TRIGGER INPUT PARAMETERS

The INP page of the Trig. Edit Menu contains some parameters that affect
the triggers' sensitivity and function within the module.
1. Press TRIG EDIT to enter the main Trig. Edit Menu page.
The first page shown should be INP (F1).
2. Select the trigger whose parameters you want to edit by pressing
PAD ID then striking the desired trigger. Alternatively, you can highlight
the trigger name at the top of the screen using the CURSOR UP / DOWN
buttons to highlight it and use the DEC- / INC+ buttons or
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to change it.
3. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items and DEC- / INC+
buttons or the VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to adjust the settings:
• Sensitivity: The gain control for the trigger (00-99). The higher the
setting, the easier it will be to trigger louder sounds with lighter hits.
When setting this parameter, strike the trigger and watch the level meter
in the upper right hand corner of the LCD. If it is "clipping" or maxing out
too soon, reduce this setting. The meter should only reach its maximum
when you are striking the trigger at your hardest.
• Function: You can assign different functions for the trigger to
execute when you strike it:
• Trigger: The associated drum Voice will sound when
you strike the trigger.
• Next Kit: The current Kit number will increase by one
when you strike the trigger.
• Prev Kit: The current Kit number will decrease by one when
you strike the trigger.
• Tap Tempo: The trigger will function as the TAP TEMPO button,
entering a new tempo for the sequencer when struck repeatedly.
• Seq Play: Striking the trigger will play the current Sequence.
• Seq Stop: Striking the trigger will stop the currently playing Sequence.
• Play/Stop: The trigger will function alternately as a "play/stop" button
for the current Sequence. Striking the trigger once will start playback;
striking it during playback will stop
the Sequence.
• Record: The trigger will function as a "record" button for the sequencer.
• Rec/Stop: The trigger will function alternately as a "record/stop" button for the sequencer.
Striking the trigger once will start recording; striking it during recording will stop it.
• InputType: Select the type of trigger you have connected to the input. Select "PIEZO" for
triggers like pads or cymbals. Select "SWITCH" if you are using a drum pad with a rim switch, a
cymbal with an edge switch, or a footswitch. (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages.)

Note: The UTILITIES Menu
allows you to set the rough
"global" sensitivity of all
triggers in the Kit ("Trig Sens").
See the UTILITIES MENU
chapter for more information.
Note:
When assigning a function other
than "Trigger," be sure that the
physical (hardware) trigger is
placed in such a way that it
will not receive "crosstalk" or
otherwiseaccidentally trigger
as you perform.
