ATV aD5, Quick Start Manual

1  Getting Ready

Trigger settings

You’ll need to make trigger settings when using the aD5 for the first time or after you’ve changed 

the types of pads. This allows the data from the pad sensors to be processed correctly so that the 

aD5’s performance capabilities can be fully utilized.

You must set the following three items.

<1>  Crosstalk cancel 

setting (p. 

9

)

This prevents the “crosstalk” that can occur when the impact of striking a pad 

reaches another pad, unintentionally triggering it. 

Complete this setting simply by striking each pad as instructed by the crosstalk 

cancel wizard.

<2>  Trigger setting for 

each pad (p. 

10

)

These settings specify the response of each of your pads to ensure that the sound 

accurately reflects the output of the pad sensor.

Simply select the model name of each pad, and the typical response is specified.

<3>  Hi-hat control pedal 

adjustment (p. 

10

)

Make adjustments so that the hi-hat control pedal operates correctly.
