registered when they are not intended so that a sample is doubled. 
Experiment with the value but try to keep the value as low as possible 
to avoid retriggers. 

Mask Time

0-64 (ms)

The Mask Time is mainly designed for kick drum triggers. Since the 
beater of the kick pedal can sometimes rebound and hit the kick trigger
again, the Mask Time sets a time limit between triggers to avoid 
sample doubling. Experiment with the setting to get the right timing 
according to your playing. 

Anti-Cross

1-10

This system is intended to limit any possible ‘crosstalk’ between 
different triggers. This effect can occur when two triggers are mounted 
on the same bracket where the vibrations caused by striking one 
trigger can unintentionally activate the second trigger.

Rim Gain

5-20

The higher the value of the Rim Gain, the more sensitive the rim of the 
toms becomes, and the louder the sample playback becomes when 
the rim is struck, or the other way around. It’s therefore possible to set 
the value so that a light touch will play back the sample at full volume.  

Head/Rim adj.

5-20

It can happen that when the rim is struck, the main drum sound is 
unintentionally triggered. This can happen due to the vibrational 
transference of the strike. Experiment with the Head/Rim value to hit 
the right balance but be aware that when set to a high value, it can be 
more difficult to trigger a rim shot.

MIDI Settings

Via the Set up menu, six different MIDI parameters can be adjusted. For example, the MIDI channel can be 
set, and the USB-MIDI interface can be switched on and off.

Effect Setting

The drum module also offers the option of adjusting the reaction of a specific trigger or pad. For example, 
both the volume response of the triggers and the panning of the sample play back can be adjusted. 

The parameters that can be adjusted in detail are listed in the table below:
