● Mask Time (MaskTime)
On a kick pad, for example, if the beater bounces back and
strikes the pad a second time immediately after the intended
stroke - (or,like with acoustic drums if you leave the bass
drum beater against the head) this can cause a single strike
to “double trigger”. (two sounds instead of the intended
“one”) The Mask Time setting helps to prevent such prob-
lems. Once a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals
occurring within the specified MaskTime (0–64 msec) will be
ignored.
* Playing electronic bass drum triggers requires that you realize
this-as “laying into the head,” as you might do with a real bass
drum, will not work here, and can cause this double triggering
problem. This occurs most often with the bass drum trigger.
With other pads, it only occurs if you leave the stick pressing
against the head immediately after hitting it. Though technology
today can perform many miracles, you still have to play with
good technique.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].
The “TRIGGER ADVANCED” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “MaskTime.”
3. Hit (or kick) a pad for which you wish to make settings
and the setting page for that pad appears.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
While playing the kick pad, try kicking and leaving the beat-
er against the pad. If you hear the second note being trig-
gered, raise the MaskTime. But in doing so, it also means
that if you play very fast, certain notes may be lost. It may be
easier for you to understand how mask time works by using
a snare or tom pad, and playing a single handed “buzz”
stroke. Raise the mask time to see how it affects this tech-
nique.
* Never forget that your own playing technique has a lot to do
with these potential problems.
Parameters
MaskTime: 0–64 ms (4 ms steps)
● Crosstalk
When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the vibra-
tion produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound
from another pad unintentionally. (This is called crosstalk.)
The Crosstalk setting lets you prevent such problems.
Normally this won’t happen if the pads are not too close to
each other and mounted on a solid stand. Playing technique
is also an influence.
Procedure
1. Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].
The “TRIGGER ADVANCED” page will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Crosstalk.”
3. Hit the pad for which you wish to make settings and the
setting page for the pad you struck will appear.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to adjust the setting.
If for example,if when hitting a tom pad, the ride cymbal
also sounds,then raise the Crosstalk setting for the ride cym-
bal pad from “Off” through “30”, “40” ... until crosstalk no
longer occurs. As this value is raised, the ride cymbal pad
will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.
Increasing the Crosstalk value may cause a different prob-
lem when playing two pads simultaneously, as the pad
receiving the weaker hit may fail to respond. So be careful
and set this parameter to the minimum value required to
prevent such crosstalk. With a setting of “Off,” crosstalk pre-
vention does no function.
Parameters
Cross Talk: OFF, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
The order in which trigger
parameters should be set
when using drum triggers
If you are using drum triggers, make settings following the
sequence given below to ensure the best results. For details
on each parameter, refer to p. 109–112.
Procedure
1. Refer to the explanation on p. 108 and select the Trigger
Type.
2. Set the Threshold and Curve parameters to “normal” val-
ues.
Press [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F2 (BASIC)] to access the setting
page. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameters,
and use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the follow-
ing settings.
Threshold: 0
Curve: Linear
3. Sensitivity
In the setting page of step 2, use [CURSOR] to move the cur-
sor to “Sensitivity.” Make settings so that the input indicator
in the left part of the display reaches the maximum level
when the pad is struck strongly.
The settings below can be made in the setting page accessed
by pressing [SETUP]-[F1 (TRIG)]-[F3 (ADVNCD)].
4. Scan Time
Strike the head several times with the same force, and adjust
this parameter if the volume is uneven.
5. Retrigger Cancel (RetrigCancel)
This prevents multiple notes from sounding when a drum is
struck once (mainly for a snare drum or toms).
