The pad controller used with the drum trigger module is compatible with pad control functions. The pad controller lets you
adjust a variety of parameters (snares setting and tightness, tuning, etc.) by rotating the pad controller knob
q
(Please refer
to the Owner’s Manual that came with your drum trigger module for more information.)
Controls the level of the trigger output from the XP series. Rotate the level adjustment knob
q
to the right (looking at the
knob from above) to increase the output level, or to the left to decrease it. The pad’s output level should be adjusted
depending on how hard you hit the pad, or to adjust the pad’s dynamic range, or to better match the pad to the type of DTX
Series Drum Trigger Module you are using.
• When the XP series pad is used with a DTX Series Drum Trigger Module, enter the module’s Trigger Setup Edit
display and set the Gain (pad input level) parameter so that the display reads 90–95% when the pad is struck
strongly. Refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your module for more information. If the output level is too
high, the pad’s dynamic range (the difference between loud and soft sounds) will be reduced and problems
such as double triggering (multiple triggers being produced by a single stroke) may occur.
Pad Control Functions
• Never hit the controller knob or apply excessive force to it, since this may result in damage or malfunction.
Output Level Adjustment
• Do not put excessive pressure on the level adjustment knob; doing so may result in damage.
