CYMBALS
You may need to experiment with different cymbal settings before you find a configuration you like.
See the BFD Lite setup documentation for settings.
Crosstalk
Settings
Connect one cymbal to the Trigger iO at a time and follow the steps below for each cymbal.
Ride Cymbal:
1.
Connect the ride cymbal to the Ride input of the Trigger iO. One input on the cymbal is set to
“PP,” allowing you to trigger both “bow” and “bell” sounds. The other input on the cymbal
should be set to “PS,” so you can use the strip on the underside to “choke” the cymbal.
2.
Press the Trigger iO’s
function up/down
buttons until “X-Talk” is selected.
3.
Lightly tap the bow of the cymbal with a drumstick.
4.
Press the Trigger iO’s
value up/down
button to set the parameter to “1.”
5.
Lightly tap the bell of the cymbal with a drumstick.
6.
Press the Trigger iO’s
value up/down
button to set the parameter to “1.”
7.
Repeat Steps 3-6 until the X-Talk value is “7.” (This will help prevent the “bell” sound from
triggering when you strike the bow and vice versa.)
8.
Once you have set the values you want, tap each of the pads, cymbals, cymbal arm, and the
rack itself to see if striking any of these triggers accidentally triggers a sound on the cymbal.
(This will show you if there is crosstalk between any of the triggers.)
The ride cymbal is dual-zone, which means you can trigger two different sounds – the bell or bow
of the cymbal – by striking the appropriate zone. For this feature to work properly, you need to set
the crosstalk settings similar to how you do the drum pads.
Crash Cymbal:
1.
Connect the crash cymbal to the Crash input of the Trigger iO. The input on the cymbal should
be set to “PS,” so you can use the strip on the underside to “choke” the cymbal.
2.
Press the Trigger iO’s
function up/down
buttons until “X-Talk” is selected.
3.
Lightly tap the bow of the cymbal with a drumstick.
4.
Press the Trigger iO’s
value up/down
button to set the parameter to “1.”
5.
Lightly tap the bell of the cymbal with a drumstick.
6.
Press the Trigger iO’s
value up/down
button to set the parameter to “1.”
7.
Repeat Steps 3-6 until the X-Talk value is “7.” (This will help prevent the “bell” sound from
triggering when you strike the bow and vice versa.)
8.
Once you have set the values you want, tap each of the pads, cymbals, cymbal arm, and the
rack itself to see if striking any of these triggers accidentally triggers a sound on the cymbal.
(This will show you if there is crosstalk between any of the triggers.)
