Chapter 7 Making Global Settings for the TD-8
Chapter 7
HEAD TENSION
Adjust the head tension to ensure that the strike position is
detected accurately. Set up the PD-80, PD-80R, PD-100, or
PD-120, then make the adjustment.
Refer to “Setting Head Tension” (p. 38) for the adjustment
procedure.
Making this setting differs from tuning acoustic drums, in
that the pitch does not change. This sets only the head tension.
Be sure to make this setting, as it is extremely important to the
proper detection of the strike position.
The screen is displayed, and you can make the settings,
only when the TRIGGER TYPE (p. 128) for TRIGGER
INPUT 3 (SNARE) is set to “8 A,” “8RA,” “10A,” or
“12A.”
• You cannot make the head tension adjustment when the TD-8
is set to the brush play (BRUSH SWITCH=ON; p. 80).
• The head tension adjustment does not work correctly when the
"SCAN TIME" (p. 131) setting is excessively low. The
"SCAN TIME" setting is automatically set to the most
efficient values for each pad when you select the "TRIGGER
TYPE." If you have changed the "SCAN TIME" setting,
select the "TRIGGER TYPE" again (p. 128).
For more on sound tuning, refer to “Chapter 2 Making the
Settings for Drum Instruments” (p. 82).
Fine-tuning the Trigger
Parameter Settings
(ADVANCED TRIGGER PARAMETERS)
The following parameters (Advanced Trigger Parameters)
are automatically set to the most efficient values for each pad
when you select the TRIGGER TYPE (p. 128), and don’t
require adjustment, except if you experience any of the
problems that are discussed in the explanation of each
parameter.
SCAN TIME
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ
slightly depending on the characteristics of each pad or
acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup), you may notice that
identical hits (velocity) may produce sound at different
volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “SCAN TIME” so
that your velocity of playing can be detected more precisely.

1.
Press [SETUP], then [F1 (TRIG)], and then [F2
(ADVNCD)].
[SETUP] lights, and the “TRIGGER ADVANCED”
screen appears.
2.
Press CURSOR [
] to move the cursor to “SCAN
TIME.”
3.
Strike a pad.
The settings screen for the struck pad appears and an
input indicator will move in the right part of the screen.
4.
Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] or rotate the VALUE dial to
make the setting.
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force,
gradually raise the Scan Time value from 0 msec, until
the resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At
this setting, try both soft and loud strikes, and make sure
that the volume changes appropriately. If the “SCAN
TIME” setting is excessively high, there will be a longer
delay until the note is heard, so set this to as low a value
as possible.
SCAN TIME: 0–4.0 (ms) (0.1ms steps)
