Other Settings
Normally, you will not need to edit these settings, since they are automatically set to the appropriate values for the pad when you specify
the pad type. You can edit these parameters if the pad does not respond as you wish.

1. In the “Pad Settings” screen, press the SEL [ ]

button a number of times to choose “Advanced

Edit,” and press the [OK] button.

The “Pad Advanced” screen appears.

2. Use the SEL [ ] [ ] buttons to select the

parameter that you want to edit.

3. Use the [-/+] dial to edit the value.

4. Press the [OK] button to return to the “MENU”

screen.

ProgramChg
Tx OFF, ON
Specifies whether program change messages will be
transmitted to an external MIDI device (ON) or not trans-
mitted (OFF).
With the “ON” setting, a program number correspond-
ing to the selected drum kit will be transmitted when
you switch drum kits on the TD-4.
* The program number for each drum kit is the same
as the drum kit number.
Detailed Settings for Trigger Parameters
Display Parameter Value Explanation
Display/Parameter Parameter/Value Explanation
Threshold
0–16
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad
is above a determined dynamic level (velocity). This can be used to
prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads.
fig.Threshold.eps
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
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.
Curve
See below
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing ve-
locity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this curve until
the response feels as natural as possible.
LINEAR
The standard setting. This produces the most natural correspon-
dence between playing dynamics and volume change.

EXP1, EXP2
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater change.
