Basic settings for the trig-ger parameters (BASIC)
When you are using pads made by other manufacturers, try
adjusting the following parameters.

●Sensitivity

Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad
response.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)].
The “TRIGGER BASIC” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Sensitivity.”
3. Strike the pad for which you wish to make settings.
The setting display for the pad you struck will appear, and
an input indicator will move in the lower part of the screen.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
Adjust the Sensitivity value so that the strongest strikes
cause the input indicator to reach nearly all the way to the
maximum level (far right). Increasing this value will raise
the sensitivity.
Parameters
Sensitivity: 1–16

●Threshold

This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when
the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This helps
prevent unintentional triggering caused by vibrations that
reach a pad when an adjacent pad is hit. In the following
example, signal 2 will sound, but signals 1 and 3 will not
sound.

Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)].
The “TRIGGER BASIC” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Threshold.”
3. Strike the pad for which you wish to make settings.
The setting page for the pad you struck will appear, and an
input indicator will move in the lower part of the screen.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
Gradually raise the Threshold value until the kind of unin-
tentional triggering shown above no longer occurs. However
if this value is raised too far, playing softly on the pad will
not be detected. Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat
this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing
style.
Parameters
Threshold: 0–15

●Curve

This is another fine adjustment of sensitivity other than the
Trigger Sensitivity parameter, controlling the relation
between the velocity (striking force) and changes in volume
(the dynamic curve) Adjust this curve until the response
feels as natural as possible.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)].
The “TRIGGER BASIC” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Curve.”
3. Strike the pad for which you wish to make settings.
The setting page for the pad you struck will appear, and the
input indicator will move.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
Parameters
Curve: Linear, EXP1, EXP2, LOG1, LOG2, Spline, Loud1,
Loud2
Linear: This is the normal setting when using a PD-7, PD-9,
PD-100 or PD-120, and produces the most natural
correspondence between velocity and volume
change.
