Trigger Settings
The drum module also lets you customize the settings of each trigger (drum pad or cymbal
pad). You can change its parameters, letting you customize your kit to your playing style.
These settings are "global" and therefore apply to all kits. DM10 MKII Pro has a set of preset
trigger settings and 5 user adjustable trigger settings.
To edit your trigger setting:
1. Press Trigger to enter the trigger interface page.
2. Hit the pad whose voice you want to edit. The pad's name will appear at the top of the
display. Alternatively, use the Down or Up buttons to select the pad's name at the top of
the display, and then use the dial to change it.
3. The display will show the current trigger and its parameters. On this page:
•
To select a parameter that you want to edit, use the Down and Up buttons (not all
parameters are available for all pads):
Threshold: The amount of force required to trigger the sound.
o
Head Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the head (center) of a drum pad. Higher
o
values let you produce louder sounds with less force. Lower values require more
force to produce quieter sounds.
Rim Sens: The sensitivity of the rim of a drum pad. Higher values let you
o
produce louder sounds with less force. Lower values require more force to
produce quieter sounds.
X-Stick Level: The amount of cross-stick produced when the rim is struck.
o
Higher values increase the probability that the cross-stick sound will play when
the rim is hit. When set to 0, only the rimshot sound will play when the rim is hit.
Head-Rim Adj: The amount of crosstalk reduction between the head (center)
o
and rim of a drum pad. Higher values reduce the probability that the pad's rim
sound will be triggered when you play its head only and vice versa (due to the
force being transferred through the pad). Don't set this value too high, though! If
this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its sound if you intentionally
play both the head and rim at the same time; it may be silenced because the
module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.
Curve: The velocity curve of the pad. This controls the relationship between the
o
amount of playing force and the volume level of the pad's sound.
X-Talk: The amount of crosstalk reduction. Higher values reduce the probability
o
that the pad's sound will be triggered when you play another pad (due to the
force being transferred through a rack, through the floor, etc.). Don't set this
value too high, though! If this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its
sound if you play another pad at the same time; it may be silenced because the
module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.
Retrig Cancel: The required amount of time between successive hits of the pad
o
to produce the sound for both hits. If the value is too low, you may hear multiple
hits (or "flams") occur after striking the trigger once. If the value is too high, you
may hear missed notes when playing faster or rolling.
