Making Pad Settings
Here’s how to make settings to ensure that the TD-07 correctly processes the signals from the pads. Here you can adjust the
balance (sensitivity) between the force of a strike on a pad and the resulting volume.
1. Press the [ ] (SETUP) button.
2. Use the [C][A] buttons to select “PAD,” and press [ ] (ENTER) button.
The PAD screen appears.

the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
Refer to “PAD Type
list” (p. 20)
Specify the pad type. You’ll need to make these settings if you expand the pads of your drum set
or if you connect pads of a dierent type.
* When you specify the PAD type, the parameters such as Threshold, ADVANCED (with the
exception of certain parameters such as XtlkCancel) are set to optimal values. These values are
only general guidelines; you can make ne adjustments as appropriate according to how you
attach the pad and how you use it.
Sens 1–32
Adjusts the balance (sensitivity) between pad striking strength and volume.
Increasing this value increases the sensitivity, so that even soft strikes on the pad are sounded at
high volume. Decreasing this value decreases the sensitivity, so that even strong strikes on the
pad are sounded at low volume.
Threshold 0–31
Adjusts the minimum sensitivity of the pad.
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a determined force
level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from
other pads.
While striking the pad, gradually raise the threshold value. If a soft strike on the pad fails to
produce sound, slightly lower this value. Repeat this to obtain the ideal setting.
XStickSens OFF, 1–10
Species the strength of the strike at which the cross-stick sound and the rim shot sound are
switched.
Increasing this value causes the cross-stick sound to be heard even for a softer rim shot.
If this is “OFF,” the rim shot sound is heard even when you play a cross-stick strike.
