The pad type is a collection of parameters optimized for
specic models of pad.
If you select the appropriate trigger type for each pad you’ve
connected, all parameters (except for Crosstalk Cancel) will be
set to the optimal values.
However, these are only the typical values, so you may need to
make ne adjustments according to how you’ve attached the
pads or the way in which you’re using them.
The following pads should be connected to the “SNR,” “T1–3,” or “AUX” trigger input.
If these pads are connected to any other trigger input, the signal of a rim strike will not be detected correctly.
