Chapter 5. Trigger Settings [TRIGGER]

Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2 (BASIC)]

When you are using pads made by other manufacturers, try

adjusting the following parameters.

1.Press [TRIGGER] - [F2 (BASIC)].

[TRIGGER] lights, and the “TRIGGER BASIC” screen will appear.

2.Use [CURSOR (up/down)] to select the parameter.

3.Strike the pad you wish to set.

The setting screen for the struck pad will appear. You can also select by using [TRIG SELECT].

4.Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to adjust the setting.

5.When you’re finished, press [EXIT] to return to the “DRUM KIT” screen.

Pad Sensitivity

You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.

This allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound volume, based on how hard you play.

Sensitivity: 1–32

Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.

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

Minimum level for the pad (Threshold)

This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a determined force level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads.

In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.

Threshold

ABC

Threshold: 0–31

When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the pad is struck lightly.

Gradually raise the “Threshold” value while striking the pad. Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing style.

How Playing Dynamics Changes the Volume (Velocity Curve)

This setting allows you to control the relation between playing

velocity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this

curve until the response feels as natural as possible.

Curve: LINEAR

The standard setting. This produces the most natural correspondence between playing dynamics and volume change.

Volume

Striking Force

LINEAR

Curve: EXP1, EXP2

Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater change.
