Chapter 5. Trigger Settings [TRIGGER]
To be sure the TD-20 accurately receives signals sent from the
pads, select the trigger type (the type of pads being used) for
each trigger input.
Trigger Type
A trigger type is a group of trigger settings with values
optimally adjusted for a particular pad. Indications such as
“KD120,” “PD125,” or “VH12,” etc. in the above display
correspond to this. When you select a trigger type for a
connected pad, each of the parameters is set to the most
appropriate values for that pad, allowing you to play it
without encountering problems with the settings. Only when
factors unrelated to the selection of the proper trigger type
prevent you from getting good results in performance should
you fine-tune the individual parameters for the pad you are
using.
Trigger Bank
Trigger Banks allow you to store the 15 trigger settings as a
single unit of information. The large number at the left edge of
the above display is the Trigger Bank number. Move the
cursor to this area to select the Trigger Bank.
1. Press [TRIGGER] - [F1 (BANK)].
[TRIGGER] lights, and the “TRIGGER BANK” screen will
appear.

2. Press [CURSOR (left)] to move the cursor to the
Trigger Bank number.
3. Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to select the Trigger Bank.
4. Press [CURSOR (right)] to move the cursor to a
trigger type.
5. Strike the pad you wish to set.
The cursor will move to the trigger type for the struck
pad.
You can also select by using [CURSOR] or [TRIG
SELECT].
6. Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to select the trigger type.
* When you select the trigger type, the trigger parameters (except
the crosstalk cancel parameters) are automatically set to the
most efficient values for each pad. Make settings for the
parameter as needed.
* When 3Way Trigger (p. 50) is set to ON, “RD CTRL” is
displayed for the trigger type for TRIGGER INPUT 11 EDGE.
It cannot be changed.
* Brush sweep and Cross Stick can be used only SNARE.
* Each playing method can be used with the instruments
corresponding to it (p. 95).
