Roland SPD-20 Drums User Manual


 
Adjusting the Sensitivity of a Pad or Kick Trigger Unit (TRIG SENS)
This parameter adjusts the sensitivity of a pad or Kick Trigger Unit. Higher values will result in higher
sensitivity (setting range: 116). When external pads are connected, you should adjust the relative sensi-
tivity between the external and on-board pads so as to provide a balanced feel for the entire drum kit.

When you strike the pad, the strength with which the pad is struck (velocity) is shown in the display
in six levels. Striking the pad hard sets velocity at a value of 127.
