MASK TIME
0–64 ms (adjustable in increments of 4 ms)
On a kick pad, for example, if the beater
bounces back and strikes the pad a second
time immediately after the intended stroke-
or, like with acoustic drums if you leave the
bass drum beater against the head-it can
cause a single strike to “double trigger” (two
sounds instead of the intended one). The
Mask Time setting helps to prevent such
problems. Once a pad has been hit, any
additional trigger signals occurring within
the specified Mask Time (0-64 msec) will be
ignored.
When set to a high value, it then becomes
easy for sounds to be omitted when the kick
is struck repeatedly in rapid succession. Set
this to as low a value as you can.
fig.05-19
If two or more sounds are being
produced when you strike the head
just once, then adjust Retrigger
Cancel.
Making the settings
While stepping on the pad being used for the
kick, raise the Mask Time value until there is
no more bouncing (sounds made by the
rebounding of the beater).
RIM SENSITIVITY
OFF, 1–20
When a PD-80R or PD-120 is connected, you
can then adjust the Rim Sensitivity.
Setting this to a higher value makes it easier
to get rim sounds. When set to “OFF,”
playing a rim shot produces the head
instrument’s sound. Increasing the value
excessively may cause the rim instrument to
sound as well when the head is struck.
This can be adjusted only when the
Input Mode is set to . And the
Trigger Type is set to something
other than or , a
horizontal line (—) appears, and
you cannot make the setting.
