SYSTEM

TRIGGER PARAMETER

Because the following settings are automatically set to the appropriate values for each pad when you specify the trigger type, there is normally no 
need for you to edit them.
You can edit these settings if you want to make finer adjustments, or if you want to use an acoustic drum trigger.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Trig Type

Refer to “Trig Type list” 

(p. 30).

Specifies the model of pad (trigger type) that is connected to each trigger input.

Sensitivity

1.0–32.0

You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style.
Increasing this value increases the sensitivity, so that even soft strikes on the pad are sounded at high volume. 

Decreasing this value decreases the sensitivity, so that even strong strikes on the pad are sounded at low volume.

Rim Gain

0–3.2

Adjusts the balance between the force of striking the rim or edge and the loudness of the sound.
If you increase this value, even soft strikes on the rim are sounded at high volume. If you decrease this value, even 

strong strikes on the rim are sounded at low volume.
This is available for pads that support a digital connection and rim shots.

Threshold

0–31

Minimum sensitivity of the pad
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is 

above a determined force level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a 

pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads. In the following 

example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the 

perfect setting for your playing style.

Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain strong 

volume levels. If you’re using a drum trigger as an external pad, 

these settings will produce reliable triggering.

Head/Rim Adjust *1

0–80

This setting specifies how easy it is to play a head shot or rim shot.
If the rim sound is heard when you strike the head strongly, increase this value. If the head sound is heard when you 

play an open rim shot, decrease this value. If the head sound is heard when you softly play a rim shot, decrease this 

value.

MEMO

If the rim shot sound is heard when you play a head shot, or if a head shot sound is heard when you play a rim shot, 

make small changes to the Head/Rim Adjust values while you continue trying out the results. Extreme changes to 

the values will cause the wrong sound to be heard when you strike the pad, for example producing the rim shot 

sound when you play a head shot.
