Adjusting the sensitivity of a pad
You may wish to adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal taste. In this sec-
tion we will explain the easiest way to adjust the TD-10’s sensitivity in order to get the best correla-
tion between your playing velocity (strength) and the response and volume of the sound.

1
Press [SETUP], then press [F1 (TRIG)], and then press [F2 (BASIC)].
The following screen will appear:
2
Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Sensitivity.”
3
Strike a pad to select the one needing sensitivity adjustment.
4
Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to adjust the sensitivity.
The numeric value at the cursor will change (within the range from 1 to 16). Lower sensitivity (lower
values) will mean that stronger strikes will not increase the volume very much. Conversely, higher sen-
sitivity will mean that loud volumes will be reached quickly as you play more strongly. In general, it is
best to set the sensitivity so that the indicator reaches the maximum position when you play with your
maximum dynamics.
Overall volume is an important element in adjusting the sensitivity of an electronic drum kit. In particular, if
you are listening at a low volume you may feel that there is too little change in volume, so you might raise the
sensitivity excessively without really needing to. Try playing at different volume levels (through amps or head-
phones) in order to fine tune the sensitivity. In order to make settings correctly, adjust the volume to an appro-
priate level.
