Pad and Trigger Setting(UTILITY)

Curve (Trigger curve)

This setting allows you 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.

Normal: 

The standard setting. This produces the natural 

               correspondence between the strength of the strike and 
               the change in volume. 

Exp1/2:  

Compared to Normal, a strong strike will produce a 

               greater change.

Log1/2:  

Compared to Normal, a soft strike will produce a 

               greater change.

Loud:     

Changes made in response to the striking force are 

               minor.When using drum triggers, these settings help 
               maintain stable levels.

Retrig-C (Retrigger

 

cancel)

Playing snare drum pads and other devices with commercially 
available acoustic drum triggers attached may result in altered 
waveforms, which may also cause inadvertent sounding. This 
occurs in particular at the decaying edge of the waveform. 
Retrigger Cancel detects such distortion in and prevents 
retriggering from occurring. Although setting this to a high value

 

prevents retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be 
omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the 
lowest value possible while still ensuring that there is no 
retriggering.

X- Talk(Cross talk)

When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the vibration 
produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound from another 
pad unintentionally (This is called crosstalk.) You can avoid this 
problem by adjusting Crosstalk Cancel on the pad that is 
sounding inadvertently. If the value is set too high, then when 
two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less 
forcefully will not sound. So be careful and set this parameter to 
the minimum value required to prevent such crosstalk. With a 
setting of “0”

Rim-Adj

There are some cases that you have a rim sound unexpectedly 
when you hit head strongly. You can improve this situation with 
decreasing this value.
