Chapter 2 Making the Pad and Trigger Settings (SETUP/TRIG)

4.Disconnect the connecting cable, then connect two pads to TRIGGER INPUT 5/6 and 7/8 using the optional cable (PCS-31).

When connecting the pads, refer to the instructions in “Connecting Two Pads to Trigger Inputs 5/6 (TOM2/ AUX) and 7/8 (TOM3/4)” (p. 21).

5.Press [+] and [-] to set the trigger type for the pads used for AUX and TOM4.

To enable the TOM2 and TOM3 rims again, set the AUX and TOM4 trigger type to "Rim."

If you hit a rim shot BEFORE restoring the AUX and TOM4 trigger type to "Rim" while a PD-8 or other pad is connected, the AUX and TOM4 sounds will play instead of the TOM2 and TOM3 rim sounds, and the dynamic response won't be correct. Change the settings back to "Rim."

You can assign different instruments to TOM2 and AUX, and TOM3 and TOM4.

Setting the Pad Sensitivity

and Making Other Settings

(TRIGGER BASIC)

You can make more detailed settings for the pad type and sensitivity.

The following parameters (Basic Trigger Parameters except the “Xtalk Cancel”) are automatically set to the most efficient values for each pad when you select the “TrigTyp (Trigger Type)” (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigTyp; p. 69).

Make the settings for each parameter as needed.

7.When you finish making settings, press [KIT] or [SONG] to end the procedure.

Adjusting the Pad Sensitivity (Sensitivity)

Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad response. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity, so that the pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly.

Adjust the “Sensitivity” value so that the strongest strikes cause the input indicator (p. 69) to reach nearly all the way to the maximum level.
