Chapter 7 Changing the Setup (Overall Environment)
 
RetrigCancel
(Retrigger 
Cancel)
1–16 When you hit a snare drum equipped with an acoustic drum trigger, a sound may be 
improperly produced (retriggered) at point A in the following diagram as well, be-
cause the waveform is erratic.
This phenomenon is most likely to appear near the point where a waveform fades 
away. RetrigCancel detects disorder in the waveform to prevent the retriggering phe-
nomenon.
As the value increases, a sound is less likely to be retriggered but some sounds are 
more likely to fail to be produced when you repeatedly hit a drum quickly. Checking 
that the sound is not retriggered, specify the smallest possible value.
 
Configuration of the Mask Time (described below) can also prevent double 
reproduction of a sound like this. Mask Time is for ignoring a second trigger 
signal within the time defined after reception of the first trigger signal, whereas 
RetrigCancel is for detecting attenuation in trigger signal level to determine 
whether a trigger signal is something that has been generated with a proper 
strike, or is something to be ignored.
Setting the value
While hitting the pad or the like, raise the RetrigCancel value until the retriggering 
phenomenon no longer occurs.
Mask Time 0–64 (in steps of 4 ms),
96, 128, 256 ms
A second contact of the beater just after producing a sound, especially with a kick 
pad, may cause double triggering. Mask Time functions in preventing this phenom-
enon. A second trigger signal generated within the specified time (from 0 to 256 ms) 
is ignored.
As the value increases, some sounds are more likely to fail to be produced when you 
quickly and repeatedly strike a kick pad. Specify the smallest possible value.
 
If you hear a sound twice though you have hit a pad or the like only once, adjust 
RetrigCancel as described above.
Setting the value
While sounding the kick pad, raise the Mask Time value until bouncing (sound 
production caused by a bounce of the beater) no longer occurs.
