X-T
ALK
X-Talk is a tool to avoid unwanted signals in other pads.
Vibrations can trigger the triggers of other instruments. With X-Talk, you can set a threshold for other triggers, above
which they will only react to vibrations in the environment.
Velocity values below this threshold are ignored by the analysis unit (G3 module). This practice comes at a price,
however, as the physical effects of two instruments on each other are usually mutual. High X-Talk thresholds counter-
act low activation thresholds of individual pads (for sensitive players) and any physical problem often requires an
increase in X-Talk values on both instruments causing the problem. Check your hardware first and try to avoid physical
contact as much as possible before using the X-Talk function.

SETTING UP X-TALK
If, despite the best possible hardware setup, a pad is receiving interference signals from other pads, first try to
identify the pad that is causing the interfering MIDI signals using the X-Talk monitor. Then increase the X-Talk value
on both pads to at least 1 (causing pad and receiving pad). If the problem persists, gradually increase the value on
the pad that is receiving unwanted signals. It is important that both pads have X-Talk values of at least 1 to make
them a member of the X-Talk group. High X-talk values on pads experiencing interference will have no effect unless
there is at least one other connected pad with an X-talk value of at least 1. Only increase the X-talk values on the
pads that are experiencing problems. To suppress viral MIDI signals, the goal for X-talk values is: as low as possible,
and only as high as necessary.
Selecting the trigger input
Use the dial
[5] [<INPUT>]
or the navigation keys
[8]
to
select the channel whose value you want to change. The
selected input is displayed inverted.
Zone
With the dial
[6] [<ZONE>]
or the navigation keys

you
can select the zone.
The selected zone is displayed inverted.
You can choose between:
Upper row = Head or Bow
Lower row = Rim or Edge.
Set values
With the dial
[7]
you can change the value of the input and
the respective selected zone.
