Input Parameters; Pad Type; Gain, Minimum Velocity - Yamaha DTXPRESS II Mode D'emploi

Trigger Setup Edit Mode

1. INPUT Parameters

Contains specific settings for each of the pads (1-10).
This function is divided into the following 6 pages.

1-1. Pad Type .......................................................... 12

1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity ................................... 12

1-3. Velocity Curve ................................................. 13
1-4. Self Rejection, Rejection ................................. 13
1-5. Specific Rejection ............................................ 13
1-6. Trigger Setup Copy .......................................... 13

1-1. Pad Type

Sets the type of pad or trigger sensor that is connected to the trig-
ger input jack q. By selecting the appropriate pad type, pad func-
tions can be used to their full potential.
TRIG IN= 1
Type= KP
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
[Range] 1-10
Assigns the trigger input jack number for the pad you want to edit.
* According to the setting in the utility mode's [2-1. Learn Mode]
(P. 29) trigger input jack numbers can be assigned by hitting the pad.
w Type (Pad Type)
Sets the type of pad that is connected to the trigger input jack
assigned in q TRIG IN.
* Values set in [1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity] (P. 12) and [1-4. Self
Rejection] (P. 13) will automatically select the proper value for
the pad type you set here.
* The "HH contrler" can only be assigned to Input Jack 1. Con-
nect the Hi-hat Controller HH60, HH80 or HH80A to Input Jack 1
and set to "HH contrler" to use in place of a kick pedal.
Use a cable with a stereo plug when connecting a Hi-hat controller.
Pad types are defined as follows.

This function sets the input sensitivity (Gain) and velocity range
(Minimum Velocity) for each input jack q.
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number. (The same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w GAIN (Input Gain)
Adjusts the input gain level (minimum sensitivity) for the trigger
input jack assigned in step q TRIG IN.
Entering a larger value here allows smaller input levels to sound
the voice.
e MVel (Minimum Velocity)
Sets the MIDI Velocity (volume) that is transmitted when the pad
is hit the weakest. Large values will produce a high volume level
even if the pad is hit softly. However, this will result in a narrow
volume range making it difficult to adequately produce wider dy-
namic levels.
If "HH contrler" is set for the pad type, the value set here will
be transmitted as the velocity.
The trigger input level will be displayed as a % in the upper right
used as a kick pedal.
2/6/7, its 3-zone function is available (pad
x 1, rim sound x 2). If the pad is connected
to any other input, the rim will produce only
one sound.
For closed rim shots, the sensitivity for rim
1 on the TP65-1 and SHP-1 is set to high.
Sensitivity settings for right and left rims
are the same on the TP65-2 and SHP-2.
to rim 1 will be produced by the TP80-1 (Input 2:snrR1, Input
6:rideE, Input 7:crashE) while the voice assigned to rim 2 will
be produced by the TP80-2 (Input 2:snrR2, Input 6:rideC, Input
7:crashC). (Refer to page 16.)
and set the pad type on Input 9 to RHP pad and the pad type on
Input 10 to RHP rim.
