Chapter 2 Making the Pad and Trigger Settings (SETUP/TRIG)
2
Adjusting the Pad Sensitivity (Sensitivity)
Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad response.
Higher settings result in higher sensitivity, so that the pad will
produce a loud volume even when struck softly.
Adjust the “Sensitivity” value so that the strongest strikes
cause the input indicator (p. 71) to reach nearly all the way to
the maximum level.

Sensitivity: 1–16
Setting the Minimum Levels for the
Pads (Threshold)
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when
the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This can be
used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to
extraneous vibrations from another pad.In the following
example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
fig.02-007.e
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.

Threshold: 0–15
Adjust How Playing Dynamics
Changes the Volume (Trigger Curve)
This setting allows to control the relation between the velocity
(striking force) and changes in volume (the dynamic curve.)
Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as
possible.

TrigCurve (Trigger Curve):
LINEAR, EXP1, EXP2, LOG1, LOG2, SPLINE,
LOUD1, LOUD2
LINEAR:
The standard setting. This produces the most natural correspondence
between the strength of the strike and the change in volume.
fig.02-010.e
EXP1,EXP2:
Compared to LINEAR, a strong strike will produce a greater change.
fig.02-011.e
LOG1,LOG2:
Compared to LINEAR, a soft strike will produce a greater change.
