Chapter 2 Making the Pad and Trigger Settings (SETUP/TRIG)
Making the settings
While stepping on the pad being used for the kick, raise the
“Mask Time” value until there is no more bouncing (sounds
made by the rebounding of the beater).

Mask Time: 0–64ms (4ms steps)
Setting Rim Sensitivity on the PD-
120 and PD-80R (Rim Sens)
When a PD-80R or PD-120 is used for TRIGGER INPUT 2
(SNARE), you can then adjust the Rim Sensitivity.
Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get rim sounds.
When set to “OFF,” playing a rim shot produces the head
instrument’s sound. Increasing the value excessively may
cause the rim instrument to sound as well when the head is
struck.
• This can be adjusted only when the Trigger Input 2
“Trigger Type (Trig Type)” is set to either “PD80R” or
“PD120” (SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 71).
• When the trigger type is set to something other than
“PD80R” or “PD120,” or when a trigger input other than
Trigger Input 2 is selected, a horizontal line ( )
appears, and you cannot make the setting.

• You cannot adjust the rim sensitivity of the PD-7 and PD-
9. Both rim and head use the same values.

Rim Sens (Rim Sensitivity): OFF, 1–15
Using the TD-6 with Acoustic
Triggers
First, attach a commercially available acoustic drum trigger to
the acoustic drums. When finished, proceed with the
following settings.
1. Set the trigger type to “AcDrTrig.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Trig Type; p. 71)
2. Set “Threshold” to “0” as a reference value.
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 73)
3. Set “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve)” to “LINEAR” as
a reference value.
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 73)
4. Set the “Sensitivity.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Sensitivity; p. 73)
5. Set the “Scan Time.”
(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Scan Time; p. 75)
Strike the head several times with the same force, and
adjust this parameter if the volume is uneven.
6. Set the “Retrig Cancel (Retrigger Cancel).”
(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Retrig Cancel; p. 75)
This prevents multiple notes from sounding when a
drum is struck once (mainly for a snare drum or toms).
7. Set the “Mask Time.”
(SETUP/TRIG ADVNCD/Mask Time; p. 75)
On a kick drum, this prevents two sounds instead of the
intended “one.”
8. Set the “Xtalk Cancel (Crosstalk Cancel).”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Xtalk Cancel; p. 74)
This prevents other instruments with drum triggers from
sounding when a drum to which a drum trigger has been
attached is struck. If a higher value is set, and if two pads
are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less
forcefully will not sound. Set this to as low a value as you
can.
9. Set the “Threshold.”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/Threshold; p. 73)
If notes are unintentionally sounded even after you have
adjusted the “CROSSTALK” setting, adjust the
“THRESHOLD.” Setting this to a higher value may
prevent sounds from being produced when the pad is
struck lightly. Set this to as low a value as you can.
10.Set the “TrigCurve (Trigger Curve).”
(SETUP/TRIG BASIC/TrigCurve; p. 73)
If changes in playing dynamics do not produce a natural
change in the volume of the TD-6 instrument, adjust this
parameter.
