GAIN
The Gain parameter describes how a trigger will react when it is engaged. With a
high gain setting, you don’t have to engage the trigger very hard to achieve a
maximum velocity output. On the other hand, with a low gain setting it is harder to
achieve a maximum velocity output when engaging the trigger hard. If you find it
very easy to achieve maximum velocity (127) when you engage a specific trigger, you
might want to set its Gain to a lower value. This will allow for more dynamics in your
playing style.
Adjusting a trigger’s Gain may also prevent any “crosstalk” with adjacent trigger.
Crosstalk occurs when vibrations from engaging a trigger are transferred to another
trigger and cause it to trigger as well. If one trigger is naturally more sensitive than
others, it may trigger in response to slight vibrations from other trigger. Reducing its
Gain could prevent crosstalk. On the other hand, if a trigger is naturally insensitive
and does not respond unless it is hit very hard, striking it very hard may cause other
triggers to trigger as well. Increasing its Gain and striking more softly could prevent
crosstalk.
How to change trigger Gain:
1. Select the trigger you would like to edit by striking the trigger/pad.
2. Use the function up/down buttons to select Gain. The current Gain level
for the trigger will be displayed.
3. Use the value up/down buttons to dial in a new Gain value. The value will
be loaded automatically.
