TRIGGER TYPE
You can select the type of trigger you are using in the Trigger Type function. There are
many different types of triggers available on the market today
– too many to cover
individually in this manual
– but most triggers can be grouped into the categories outlined
below. Please consult you trigger devices’ documentation to find out which of the following
categories best fits the device.
If you have a single zone drum trigger, then ignore the “ring” column in the table below.
Select PP if you have a piezo trigger or SS if you have a switch trigger.
If you have a dual zone drum, then use a TRS cable and select the appropriate type from
the table below. If you have a dual zone drum but only a TS cable, then you can still use
the primary zone (tip) but not the secondary zone (ring).
Please make sure that
your trigger’s Trigger Type is configured correctly before editing or
using it. If the Trigger Type is configured incorrectly, your trigger may not function properly
or at all. You will need to select a Trigger Type which matches your specific trigger, as
shown in the table below. Once you have finished configuring the Trigger Type, exit
Trigger Type mode to resume playing.

AS SUSTAIN PEDAL*
HI-HAT PEDAL**
*To be used with footswitches. When the footswitch is pressed down, it generates
a sustain message (MIDI CC 64). When it is depressed, it cancels the sustain.
**Hi-hat foot pedals will automatically be detected
so there is no need to set a Trigger Type.
How to set Trigger Type:
1. Use the function up/down buttons to select Trigger Type.
2. Select the trigger you would like to edit by striking the trigger/pad.
3. Use the value up/down buttons to dial in the desired Trigger Type.
