TRIGGER SETTINGS

Parameter
GAIN
This is an amplification of the received trigger signals before input. Some pads or triggers available on the market
produce accurate but weak signals that can be amplified by this parameter before they are registered as an input
signal in the G3 module. The construction of the pad used can also contribute to weak signals.
Use the "Gain" function if you are happy with the basic values of your trigger pad, but it does not integrate with the
rest of the pads. This function can be useful when connecting pads from other manufacturers.
The gain parameter values
range from
0
(no gain) to
8
(maximum gain).
Low gain values tame pads that produce high electrical signals, and higher
gain values
are suitable for pads that
produce weaker electrical signals.
A gain value that is increased too much can lead to losses in the playing dynamics.
THRESHOLD
The value "Threshold" regulates the sensitivity of the input channel, from which velocity a sound is produced.
Unwanted, too weak impulses (e.g. triggering of sounds by vibrations) can thus be excluded.
Procedure:
Hit a pad (e.g. snare head) as softly as you would normally like to play, and start with the lowest threshold value (1),
and gradually increase until your softest hits are no longer detected. Then go back 1-2 steps in the
threshold
again.
In this way, you set the threshold as low as possible and as high as necessary.
With
Switch
inputs (For example, at Edge, Bell, Rim ) the procedure works in reverse. Since there is already a perma-
nent low voltage at Switch sensors, the voltage drops when the sensor is pressed/activated. Increase the threshold
gradually and select the highest threshold that still causes choke messages.
