Roland owner manual Using the TD-6V with Acoustic Triggers, Mask Time 0-64ms 4ms steps

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

Making the settings

While stepping on the pad being used for the kick, raise the “Mask Time” value until there is no more bouncing (sounds made by the rebounding of the beater).

Mask Time: 0–64ms (4ms steps)

Setting Rim Sensitivity on the PD- 80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120, and PD-125 (Rim Sens)

When a PD-80R, PD-85, PD-105, PD-120 or PD-125 is used

for TRIGGER INPUT 2 (SNARE), you can then adjust the Rim

Sensitivity.

Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get rim sounds. When set to “OFF,” playing a rim shot produces the head instrument’s sound. Increasing the value excessively may cause the rim instrument to sound as well when the head is struck.

•This can be adjusted only when the Trigger Input 2 “Trigger Type (Trig Type)” is set to either “PD-80R,” “PD-120,” or “PD-125” (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 69).

•When the trigger type is set to something other than “PD- 80R,” “PD-120,” or “PD-125,” or when a trigger input other than Trigger Input 2 is selected, a horizontal line

( ) appears, and you cannot make the setting.

•You cannot adjust the rim sensitivity of the PD-7, PD-8, and PD-9. Both rim and head use the same values.

Rim Sens (Rim Sensitivity): OFF, 1–15

Using the TD-6V with Acoustic Triggers

First, attach an RT-series drum trigger (or commercially available acoustic drum trigger) to the acoustic drums. When finished, proceed with the following settings.

1.Set the trigger type to “RT-3T,” “RT-5S,” or “RT- 7K.”

(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 69)

2.Set “Threshold” to “0” as a reference value. (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 72)

3.Set “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve)” to “LINEAR” as a reference value.

(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 72)

4.Set the “Sensitivity.”

(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Sensitivity; p. 71)

5.Set the “Scan Time.”

(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Scan Time; p. 74)

Strike the head several times with the same force, and adjust this parameter if the volume is uneven.

6.Set the “Retrig Cancel (Retrigger Cancel).” (SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Retrig Cancel; p. 74)

This prevents multiple notes from sounding when a drum is struck once (mainly for a snare drum or toms).

7.Set the “Mask Time.”

(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Mask Time; p. 74)

On a kick drum, this prevents two sounds instead of the intended “one.”

8.Set the “Xtalk Cancel (Crosstalk Cancel).” (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Xtalk Cancel; p. 73)

This prevents other instruments with drum triggers from sounding when a drum to which a drum trigger has been attached is struck. If a higher value is set, and if two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully will not sound. Set this to as low a value as you can.

9.Set the “Threshold.”

(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 72)

If notes are unintentionally sounded even after you have adjusted the “CROSSTALK” setting, adjust the “THRESHOLD.” Setting this to a higher value may prevent sounds from being produced when the pad is struck lightly. Set this to as low a value as you can.

10.Set the “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve).” (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 72)

If changes in playing dynamics do not produce a natural change in the volume of the TD-6V instrument, adjust this parameter.
