Adjust Trigger Parameters
The DM Pro’s trigger defaults were developed for a typical setup and drummer.
Depending on your style and preferences, you may want to modify some of the trigger
parameters. These parameters are global (they apply to all kits), but each trigger has a
completely independent set of parameters. Following is a brief description of the parameters,
but for more details, refer to pages 83-90 in the DM Pro Reference Manual.
a) Trigger Gain
I n c re a s e this value to make the pad more sensitive.
D e c re a s e this value to make the pad less sensitive.
b) Velocity Curve
M o d i f y this value to change how the drum’s sound and volume responds
to your hitting intensity.
c) Trigger Threshold
I n c re a s e this value to gate out false triggers.
D e c re a s e this value to lower the gate, making soft hits accepted by
the DM Pro.
d) Hat Threshold
M o d i f y this value to fine-tune your hi-hat pedal control. Get exactly
the sound and action you want, from fully-closed to fully-open.
e) Retrigger
I n c re a s e this value to eliminate double triggering.
D e c re a s e this value to articulate fast drumming.
f) Crosstalk
I n c re a s e this value to filter out more crosstalk between pads.
D e c re a s e this value to filter out less crosstalk between pads
These parameters are all interrelated, i.e. changing the trigger gain
will effect the other parameters. For this reason, it is very important
to adjust the parameters in order from (a) to (f), carefully following
the proper sequence.
Select a Drumkit
To select a Drumkit, press the {KIT} button to jump to the top level of Drumkit Mode. The top
level of Drumkit Mode displays the name of the Drumkit in quotation marks on the top of the
display and nothing on the bottom line: “RealProKit”. Turn the VALUE encoder to select any
of the 64 different Drumkits, and then press the {KIT} button again to “Load” the Drumkit of
your choice into the “Play Memory” of the DM Pro. If the Drumkit number and the {KIT}
button are flashing, the Drumkit currently shown on the display has not yet been loaded – the
previously loaded Drumkit still resides in the Play Memory and will sound until you press
{KIT} to load the new Drumkit.
