Settings for External Pads or Kick Trigger Units
Setting External Pad Tone and MIDI Parameters
How to Edit the Trigger Parameters
Sound and MIDI parameters can be set for external pads or Kick Trigger Units (connected to the TRIG
INPUT jacks) in the same way as for the on-board pads.
If a PD-8, CY-5, CY-8 is connected, each parameter can be set independently for the head and rim.
The method for setting external pad tones is the same as that for internal pads. Make settings after
referring to “Selecting and Adjusting Sounds (Sound Parameters)”. With external pads, you can make
settings for both the head and the rim. To make settings for the head, strike only the head. Pad name on
top right corner of the display will show EX1H, if external pad on TRIGGER INPUT 1 is triggered. To make
settings for the rim, strike only the rim. EX1R will be showed on the top right screen, if external pad on
TRIGGER INPUT 1 is triggered (Rim settings apply only to the PD-8, CY-5 and CY-8).
Except for the option of making rim settings, MIDI parameter settings for external pads are made the
same way as those for internal heads. Make settings after referring to “MIDI Parameter Settings”.
You can set the sensitivity and make other settings for external pads (TRIGGER parameters). There
are four types of TRIGGER parameters available (TRIG SENS, TRIG THRESHOLD, TRIG TYPE, and TRIG
CURVE).
Settings for some of these parameters can control both internal and external pads separately;
others can control the external pads only.
External and internal pads have separate TRIGGER parameter settings.
NOTE
NOTE
It is better not to set and layer two different tones and Velocity Curves using the rims Pad Bank, since the
relative strength is dicult to control precisely.
