■Recommended Parameters for the Pads

The trigger parameters (except the Xtalk Cancel) are automatically set to the most efficient values for each pad when you select the trigger type.

You may need to adjust the value since these are just the reference value. Make settings for the parameters as needed (Basic Trigger Parameters: p. 72; Advanced Trigger Parameters: p. 74).

The “Xtalk Cancel (Crosstalk Cancel)” value does not change when the trigger type is changed. It should be adjusted as necessary to match the actual state of your configuration and the environment in which it is being used (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Xtalk Cancel; p. 74).

•Use the “AcDrTrig” setting when you use acoustic drums to sound the TD-6. For details refer to “Using the TD-6 with Acoustic Triggers” (p. 76).
