3 Menu Functions and Settings
TRIGGER
These settings are used to optimize the performance of the xD3 by calibrating the unit’s triggering
sensitivity in response to signals from the pad sensors.
Setting up the sensitivity of triggers is important when using the equipment for the first time or
when changing the type of pad.

Total Pad Response
Increasing the sensitivity of all pads will produce a powerful sound even when
playing with soft taps. This may be suitable for younger children or players who
have a softer playing style. The sensitivity increases as you increase the plus [+]
value.
Pad Type
Use to set the type of pad connected to each trigger input.
*Please use the default setting.
Sensitivity
Use to adjust the sensitivity of each pad. The sensitivity increases as you
increase the value.
Head-Rim Adjust
Use to adjust the balance sensitivity between the head sound and the rim-shot
sound of the snare drum pad.
If the rim-shot sounds consistently when you hit the snare pad head, try
adjusting the slider position more towards the ‘H’ side to find a balance.
If you find it difficult to play the rim-shot, try adjusting the slider more to the ‘R’
side.
Pedal HH Sens
Use to adjust the volume of the foot-close and foot-splash of the hi-hat.
HH Close Adjust
Use to adjust the closed position of the hi-hat. If the hi-hat does not sound
sufficiently ‘closed’ when pressing on the pedal with normal pressure, adjust
this setting to the plus [+] side. If the hi-hat does not sound sufficiently ‘open’
when the pedal pressure is relaxed or released, adjust this setting to the minus [-]
side.
Cross-Talk Cancel
Wizard
Use to eliminate “cross-talk”, which is an unwanted signal transmission between
pads.
Simply hit each pad according to the Cross-talk Cancel Wizard instructions and
the appropriate settings will be made automatically.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the section about using the "Cross-talk
Cancel Wizard" (p.35).
*Execute this wizard when installing the drum kit for the first time.
*Cross-talk may reoccur if you change a pad or a pad’s mount location.
*In such cases, please re-execute the wizard.
