TRIGGER SETTINGS
[F1]
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 be-
fore they are registered as an input signal in the G5 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 suita-
ble 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 (Par example at Edge, Bell, Rim ) the procedure works in reverse. Since there is
already a permanent 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.
