Utility Mode (UTILITY)

This mode contains two parts: the drum pad trigger 
settings and drum module settings.

The Drum Pad Trigger Settings

As a professional drummer, you may be very pleased to 
set your drum triggers carefully corresponding to your 
playing habits and feelings, making your performance 
more interesting and professional. In the meantime, 
your digital drum will be more operable.

1.  Press the [UTILITY] button, the LCD will display the 

UTILITY menu.

2.  Repeatedly press the [PAGE] button to select the 

trigger parameters that you want to edit. 

The drum pad trigger settings are shown below:

Description

SENSITIVITY

1~16

SEN XXX

You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate 
your personal playing habit. Higher sensitivity allows the pad 
to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower 
sensitivity will keep the pad to producing a low volume even 
when played forcefully.

XTALK

1~8

XTK XXX

This setting avoids “crosstalk”, which means that when you 
play one pad you can hear a sound coming from another 
pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the
same stand. In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by 
increasing the distance between the two mounted pads.
For example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also 
sounds. While striking the snare pad, gradually increase the 
“XTALK” value for the tom 1 pad until the tom 1 pad no 
longer sounds when you hit the snare pad. If you raise the 
“XTALK” higher, the tom 1 pad will be less prone to receive 
crosstalk from other pads.

Note

: If the value is set too high, and two pads are played 

simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully may not 
sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum 
value required to prevent crosstalk

CURVE

1~6

CUR XXX

This setting allows you to control the relation between play-
ing velocity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust 
this curve until the response feels as natural as possible. 
Refer to the CURVE description.

RETRIG
CANCEL

1~16

RTG XXX

This setting avoids “re-triggering”, which means that when 
you strike a pad once, maybe you can hear two hits coming 
from one strike. This can happen as the pad oscillate. While 
repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel” value 
until re-triggering no longer occurs. Although setting this to 
a high value prevents re-triggering, it then becomes easy for
sounds to be omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). 
Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring that 
there is no re-triggering.

0~127
