a pad’s sound (on the head/rim) after it
plays, by touching the area just above the
specified sensor. This is useful for stopping
sounds that have a long decay.

Configuring the Other Pad Not to Sound
(Xtalk Cancel)
On the TAIKO-1, the other pad may play unintentionally due to the
vibrations from the pad you strike. This is called “crosstalk.” Crosstalk
cancellation is a setting that prevents this type of crosstalk.

Explanation
PAD1H
0–32
If crosstalk occurs when you play a pad,
raise the value for that pad.
* When crosstalk occurs on PAD1H when you
strike PAD2H, this cannot be improved simply
by raising the value on PAD1H. Instead, raise
the value for the pad you strike (PAD2H). If
crosstalk is still not improved when you raise
that value, set the value for the rim to be
higher than that of the head.

one pad, you can enable just one. This helps prevent the lower surface
from operating unintentionally.

On the TRIGGER screen, select “Active Pad” and press
