Roland SPD-20 Drums User Manual


 
Setting Minimum Levels for the Pads (TRIG THRESHOLD)
By setting this parameter, you can make the pad respond with a trigger signal only when it is struck
with a force above a threshold level. This allows you to prevent the pad from picking up extraneous
vibrations from neighboring pads. If the striking force is less than the threshold, the pad will not sound.
In the following diagram, the statement like 2 of the examples will produce sound(setting range:
015.)
fig.50
To have the unit sound even when struck lightly, set the TRIGGER THRESHOLD as low as possible
without triggering other connected pads.
Settings for the internal pads reflect the average user´s preferences. If these settings produce good
results for you, there is no need to change these values.

When the vibration from striking one external pad causes the Instrument of another pad to play, set
