Settings for the Entire TD (SYSTEM)
44
Parameter
Value
Description
Mask Time
0–64 (ms)
This setting prevents double triggering.
When playing a kick trigger, the beater can bounce back and
hit the head a second time immediately after the intended
note—with acoustic drums sometimes the beater stays against
the head—is causes a single hit to “double trigger” (two sounds
instead of one). The Mask Time setting helps to prevent this. Once
a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals occurring within
the specified “Mask Time” (0–64 msec) will be ignored.
Adjust the “Mask Time” value while playing the pad.
When using a kick trigger, try to let the beater bounce back and hit the head very quickly, then raise the
“Mask Time” value until there are no more sounds made by the beater rebound.
* When set to a high value, it will be difficult to play very quickly. Set this to as low a value as you can.
MEMO
If two or more sounds are being produced when you hit the head just once, then adjust Retrig Cancel (p. 43).
Xtalk Cancel
0–80
This setting cancels “crosstalk,” which means that when you play one pad you hear a sound coming from
another pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the same stand.
In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.
Crosstalk Example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also sounds
While striking the Snare pad, gradually increase the “Xtalk Cancel” value for the tom 1 pad until the tom 1
pad no longer sounds when you hit the Snare pad. If you raise the “Xtalk Cancel” higher, the tom 1 pad will
be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.
* If the value is set too high, and two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully
may not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to prevent crosstalk.
[F2] (RIM)
Parameter
Value
Description
Trig Type
Refer to p. 41.
Rim Gain
0–8.0
When a PD-8/PD-85/PD-105/PD-108/PD-125/PD-128, PDX-6/PDX-8/PDX-100, CY series pad, VH-11, or RT-10S
is connected, you can adjust the relation between your playing velocity (force) on the rim/edge and the
resulting volume level.
Higher value allows the rim/edge to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower value will keep
the rim/edge producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Head/Rim Adj
0–80
When a PD-85/PD-105/PD-108/PD-125/PD-128, PDX-6/PDX-8/PDX-100, or RT-10S is connected, you can
adjust the sensitivity of the head response.
There are some cases that you have a rim sound unexpectedly when you hit the head strongly. You can
improve this situation with decreasing the value of “Head/Rim Adj.” When you set the value too big, it might
be difficult to play the rim sound.
Xstick Adj
-9–+9
Specifies the striking force at which to switch between the cross-stick sound and the open rim shot sound.
With positive (+) settings, the cross stick sound will be heard even for strong strikes.
[F3] (HIHAT)
Parameter
Value
Description
Pedal HH Sens
-5–+5
Adjusts the sensitivity for playing foot-close or foot-splash notes.
Positive (“+”) settings allow louder sounds to be produced even when you step lightly on the pedal.
