Parameter definitions
Retrig-C (Retrigger cancel)
Retrigger Cancel prevents retriggering from occurring. Although
setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, it then becomes
easy for sounds to be omitted when the drums is played fast (roll
etc.). Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring that
there is no retriggering.
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 peripheral vibrations
from another pad.
Curve
(Trigger 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.
X- Talk (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. Setting the value too low may result in crosstalk.
MIDI Settings
Pad MIDI Note assignments
The MIDI output notes from the SD300KIT are preset in the module.
The following list has the MIDI notes that are sent from the module
when the drum pads and pedals are played.
For more details on MIDI functionality please see the MIDI
Implementation Chart in the Appendix section of the manual.
