4. When you have finished making your edits, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another screen
-e.g.,
KIT SELECT, UTILITIES
, etc. Your edits will remain for that session (i.e., until you turn off the module).
TRIGGERING PARAMETERS
The TRIG page of the Trig. Edit Menu contains some parameters
that affect the triggers’ sensivity and function within the module.
1. Press
TRIG EDIT
to enter the main Trig.
Edit Menu
page.
Press TRIG (F2).
2. Select the trigger whose parameters you want to edit by
pressing
PAD ID then striking the desired trigger.
Alternatively, you can highlight the trigger name at the top of
the screen using the
CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to
highlight it and use the DEC- / INC+ buttons or VALUE
DIAL
to change it.
3. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items
and
DEC- / INC+
buttons or the
VALUE / TEMPO DIAL
to adjust
the settings:
• Xtalk Rcv * :
How susceptible the trigger is to
“crosstalk” from other triggers (00-07). The higher the
value, the less likely crosstalk from other triggers will affect it.
• Xtalk Snd * :
How likely the trigger will cause “crosstalk” in other triggers (00-07). The higher the value, the less
likely it will be a source of crosstalk on other triggers.
• Retrigger:
How quickly the module processes repeated strikes of the same trigger (00-99). This is the minimum
amount of time needed between successive strikes of the same trigger for the second one to produce a sound.
(For instance, if your Retrigger setting is 50 and you strike the trigger once, it will produce a sound if the next strike
is at least 50 milliseconds later. Otherwise, it will be silent.) (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages
since it already affects both zones of a drum pad or cymbal that “share” the same
TRIGGER INPUT .)
• Threshold:
How much velocity (force) is required for a Voice to sound (00-99). At lower settings, very light
strikes of the triggers will produce sounds. At higher settings, you will need to strike the triggers harder to produce
a sound. (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages since it already affects both zones of a drum pad or
cymbal that “share” the same
TRIGGER INPUT. )
• ZoneXTalk:
This setting adjusts how susceptible triggers on a “shared” input (e.g., the bell and bow of a ride
cymbal, or the head and rim of a the same drum pad) are to “crosstalk” from each other. The higher the setting, the
less likely these trigger pairs will cause each other to trigger unintentionally. (Note: We recommend increasing this
setting for drum pads on which you want to produce “rimshots” by striking the head and rim simultaneously.)
4. When you have finished making your edits, you can press
EXIT or any button that will enter another screen (e.g.,
KIT SELECT, UTILITIES
, etc. Your edits will remain for that session (i.e., until you turn off the module).
* A note about crosstalk:
“Crosstalk” occurs when a trigger is struck and the vibration from that strike is also “read” as a strike by an
adjacent trigger. For instance, if you strike the snare drum hard enough, it is possible for the crash cymbal to sense
the vibration of your hit (especially if they are mounted on the same rack) and trigger as well. This unintentional
triggering can be reduced or elimintated by adjusting the RBM-20 module’s crosstalk (
“Xtalk” ) settings.
• When you increase a trigger’s “
Xtalk Rcv
” (
“Crosstalk Receive”
) setting, you are making that trigger less
susceptible to crosstalk from other triggers’ vibrations.
• When you increase a trigger’s
“Xtalk Snd” (“Crosstalk Send”) setting, you are making that trigger less likely to
be interpreted by the module as a cause of crosstalk.
In a general sense, these two settings essentially do the same thing: reduce crosstalk. However, there are cases
where adjusting one is better than adjusting the other:
Example:
While playing, if you find the first tom is unintentionally triggering as you play heavily on the snare drum, you should
increase the first tom’s
“Xtalk Rcv” setting to reduce its sensitivity to strikes on the snare drum (as well as other
triggers). On the other hand, if you find playing heavily on the snare drum is unintentionally causing several triggers
to sound, you should increase the snare drum’s
“Xtalk Snd”
setting so the module interprets vibrations from the
snare drum more strictly to reduce errant triggering on the rest of the kit.
