Chapter 5. Trigger Settings [TRIGGER]
Chapter 5
[TRIGGER]
When you are using pads made by other manufacturers, try
adjusting the following parameters.
1.
Press [TRIGGER] - [F2 (BASIC)].
[TRIGGER] lights, and the “TRIGGER BASIC” screen will
appear.
fig.05-TrigBasic_70
2.
Use [CURSOR (up/down)] to select the
parameter.
3.
Strike the pad you wish to set.
The setting screen for the struck pad will appear.
You can also select by using [TRIG SELECT].
4.
Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to adjust the setting.
5.
When you’re finished, press [EXIT] to return to
the “DRUM KIT” screen.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate
your personal playing style.
This allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound
volume, based on how hard you play.
Sensitivity:
1–32
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume
even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad producing a low volume
even when played forcefully.
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when
the pad is above a determined force level (velocity). This can
be used to prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations
from other pads.
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not
sound.
fig.Threshold.e
Threshold:
0–31
When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the
pad is struck lightly.
Gradually raise the “Threshold” value while striking the pad.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until
you get the perfect setting for your playing style.
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing
velocity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this
curve until the response feels as natural as possible.
fig.VeloC-LINEAR.e
Curve:
LINEAR
The standard setting. This
produces the most natural
correspondence between playing
dynamics and volume change.
fig.VeloC-EXP.e
Curve:
EXP1, EXP2
Compared to LINEAR, strong
dynamics produce a greater
change.
fig.VeloC-LOG.e
Curve:
LOG1, LOG2
Compared to LINEAR, a soft
playing produces a greater
change.
fig.VeloC-SPLINE.e
Curve:
SPLINE
Extreme changes are made in
response to playing dynamics.
fig.VeloC-LOUD.e
Curve:
LOUD1, LOUD2
Very little dynamic response,
making it easy to maintain
strong volume levels. If using
drum triggers, these settings
help maintain stable levels.
