Pad Does Not Sound As Intended

Pad Not Playing Correctly

Is the trigger type setting correct? (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 71)

➝Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] to make the setting.

Is the pad’s sensitivity setting correct? (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Sensitivity; p. 73)

➝Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] to make the setting.

For fullest expression in performance, we recommend the exclusive use of Roland pads.

Is the KD-80, KD-120, PD-80, PD-80R, PD-100 or PD-120 head tightened uniformly?

➝Refer to the owner’s manual for the pad you are using, then adjust the head tension.

If pad volume or other quality is unstable, making the head tension somewhat tighter improve stability.

Wrong Sound Plays

Is there a mistake in the head and rim selection? (p. 57)

➝With some parameters, you can make separate settings for the head and rim. At this time, confirm the trigger type appearing in the upper right of the screen, then make the settings.

Are you making the rim shot (p. 37) and cross stick (p. 37) correctly?

➝To play rim shots, strike the head and rim simultaneously. For cross stick, make sure your hand or stick does not touch or strike the head.
