Making the Settings for Pads
About Settings of Pads
If the digital drum is not yet in UTILITY menu, press the
[UTILITY] button to enter it.
The UTILITY indicator will light up. You can use the [ ] or [ ]
buttons to adjust parameters (as shown to the right ) for each
pad as well as the rim sensitivity of the pad and the splash
sensitivity of the Hi-Hat control pedal.
The current pad to be edited can be selected either by pressing
its Pad Select button, or by striking the pad itself. The PAD
indicator will light up to show which pad is currently selected. If
the rim of a pad is selected, both the PAD indicator and the RIM
indicator will turn on.
Sensitivity:
Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad
response. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity, so that the
pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly. You
can also adjust the sensitivity of the splash in SPLASH
SENSITIVITY.
Threshold:
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received
only when the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This
can be used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to
extraneous vibrations from another pad.
Crosstalk:
When two pads are mounted on the same stand,
the vibration produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound
from another pad unintentionally (This is called crosstalk). You
can avoid this problem by adjusting Crosstalk Cancel on the
pad that is sounding inadvertently. If the value is set too high,
then when two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is
struck less forcefully will not sound. So be careful and set this
parameter to the minimum value required to prevent such
crosstalk. With a setting of 0 , crosstalk prevention does not
function.
Curve:
This setting allows you to control the relation between
the velocity (striking force) and changes in volume (the dynamic
curve). Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as
possible.
