Use of the setup without the following may prevent the PDX-8’s rim shots from sounding,
cause double triggering, or result in other problems.
For the PDX-8 function correctly, the trigger parameters in your percussion sound module (TD-3,
TD-6, TD-12, TD-20, etc.) must be adjusted.
If you find the following kinds of problems occurring, adjust the “Rim Sensitivity.”
• If you cannot get a rim sound even when you strike the rim hard, increase the “Rim Sens” value.
• If you hear a rim sound when you strike the head, decrease the “Rim Sens” value.
1. Tune the Head
2. Make the Settings for the Trigger Parameters
3. Adjust the “Rim Sensitivity”
(*1: See below)
Example: Connect the PDX-8 to the Trigger Input 2 (SNARE) on the TD-6V
