5.5 TRIGGER DCAY CONTROL SELECTION

If a pad or drum "double triggers" when it is struck, it may be necessary to adjust the DCAY level. This is evident when shortly after the initial strike to a pad, a second trigger from the same pad is generated, or it "double triggers".

Note: With certain pads it may not be necessary to adjust this parameter. In that case, skip this section and go on to 5.6 Noise Control Selection).

1.After selecting the desired Trigger whose decay level needs to be set, place the cursor under the DCAY parameter. Example:

TRIG:03 XTALK:30

DCAY:10 NOISE:00

2.Turn the Data wheel to select the desired level of decay suppression necessary to stop the pad from double triggering. (00 is minimum, 99 maximum) This level will depend on your current set up, including the mounting configurations and the type of pads used.

When triggering from acoustic drums, the factors involved are staggering. Not only do the type and size of drum make a big difference, but things such as; if the drum is single or double headed, the tension of the head(s), the muffling, and the trigger placement all play very important roles in getting good results and proper "tracking" of your play. For more detailed tips and suggestions in these areas please refer to Tips On External Triggering From Acoustic Drums, included in the D4 literature package.

5.6TRIGGER NOISE LEVEL SELECTION

When in a high noise floor level situation such as playing live on a stage with bass cabinets nearby, it may be necessary to adjust the NOISE parameter level. If your situation does not necessitate the need to make these type of adjustments, skip this section and go on to 5.7 Trigger Gain Selection.

1.After selecting the desired Trigger whose noise level needs to be set, place the cursor under the NOISE parameter. Example:

TRIG:03 XTALK:30

DCAY:10 NOISE:00

2.Turn the Data wheel to select the desired level of suppression necessary to stop the pad from false triggering. (00 is minimum, 99 maximum) Stage noise and rumble, the stability of drum risers and platforms, volume, and crowd vibrations are all factors in choosing the proper level.
