Chapter 5. Trigger Settings [TRIGGER]
 
To be sure the TD-12 accurately receives signals sent from the 
pads, select the 
 
trigger type
 
 (the type of pads being used) for 
each trigger input.
 
Trigger Type
 
A 
 
trigger type
 
 is a group of trigger settings with values 
optimally adjusted for a particular pad. Indications such as 
“KD85,” “PD85,” or “VH11,” etc. in the above display 
correspond to this. When you select a trigger type for a 
connected pad, each of the parameters is set to the most 
appropriate values for that pad, allowing you to play it 
without encountering problems with the settings. Only when 
factors unrelated to the selection of the proper trigger type 
prevent you from getting good results in performance should 
you fine-tune the individual parameters for the pad you are 
using.
 
Trigger Bank
 
Trigger Banks
 
 allow you to store the 15 trigger settings as a 
single unit of information. The large number at the left edge of 
the above display is the Trigger Bank number. Move the 
cursor to this area to select the Trigger Bank.
 
1.
 
Press [TRIGGER] - [F1 (BANK)].
 
[TRIGGER] lights, and the “TRIGGER BANK” screen 
appears.

Press [CURSOR (left)] to move the cursor to the 
Trigger Bank number.
 
3.
 
Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to select the Trigger Bank.
 
4.
 
Press [CURSOR (right)] to move the cursor to a 
trigger type.
 
5.
 
Strike the pad you wish to set.
 
The cursor moves to the trigger type for the struck pad.
You can also select by using [CURSOR] or [TRIG 
SELECT].
 
6.
 
Use [+/-] or [VALUE] to select the trigger type.
 
* When you select the trigger type, the trigger parameters (except 
the crosstalk cancel parameters) are automatically set to the 
most efficient values for each pad. Make settings for the 
parameter as needed.
* When 3Way Trigger (p. 52) is set to ON, “RD CTRL” is 
displayed for the trigger type for TRIGGER INPUT 10 EDGE. 
It cannot be changed.
* Brush sweep and Cross Stick can be used only on SNARE.
* Each playing method can be used with the instruments 
corresponding to it (p. 91).
