This mode contains two parts: the drum pad trigger settings and drum

module settings.

The Drum Pad Trigger Settings

As a professional drummer, you may be very pleased to set your drum

triggers carefully corresponding to your playing habits and feelings,

making your performance more interesting and professional. At the

meantime, your digital drum will be more operable.

Press the [UTILITY] button, the LCD will display the UTILITY menu.

Repeatedly press the [PAGE] button to select the trigger parameters

that you want to edit.

The drum pad trigger settings are shown below:

MIDI NOTE

Striking the specified pad, select the pad that you want to edit.

Use the [+] / [-] button to adjust the parameter value.

Note:

The Curve descriptions are shown below:

Curve 1: The most natural setting. There is a linear change between

playing dynamics and volume response.

Curve 2, 3: Compared to Curve 1, heavily strikings make greater

change.

Curve 4, 5: Compared to Curve 1, gentle strikings make greater

change

Curve 6: Even a soft strike can make strong volume, and the range of

dynamic response is small. Especially when a drum trigger is used as

an external pad, reliable triggering can be made.

Description

SEN XXX

Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad response. Higher settings result in

higher sensitivity, so that the pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly.

Lower sensitivity will keep the pad to producing a low volume even when played forcefully.

You can also adjust the sensitivity of the splash in Splash Sensitivity.

1~8

XTK XXX

When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the vibration produced by hitting one

pad may trigger the sound from another pad unintentionally (This is called crosstalk.) You

can avoid this problem by adjusting Crosstalk on the pad that is sounding inadvertently. If

the value is set too high, then when two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is

struck less forcefully will not sound. So be careful and set this parameter to the minimum

value required to prevent such crosstalk. With a setting of "0", crosstalk prevention does

not function.

1~6

CUR XXX

You can control the relation betweeen striking force and response volume by this setting.

Adjust the curve to satisfy your playing requirement.Refer to the CURVE description.

1~16

RTG XXX

This setting avoids "re-triggering", which means that when you strike a pad once, maybe

you can hear two hits coming from one strike. This may happen when pad vibrating.Adjust

the "Retrigger Cancel" value and strike the pad to see if there is any re-triggering. Be

careful to set it to a suitable value. If too high, some sounds may be omitted when played

fast; if too low, retrigger can't be prevented effectively. It is best to set it to a value just

prevented retriggering.
