Roland TD-50 - Eliminate Crosstalk between Pads (Crosstalk Cancellation)

Settings
Eliminate Crosstalk Between Pads (Crosstalk
Cancellation)
If two pads are attached to the same stand, the vibration from
one struck pad may cause the other pad to sound without your
intention. This is called “crosstalk.” Crosstalk cancellation is a setting
that prevents this type of crosstalk.
* When the TD-50 is shipped from the factory, it is set for optimal
operation with the separately sold drum stand (MDS-50KV or
MDS-50K), so you will not normally need to change the settings.
You’ll need to make crosstalk cancellation settings in the
following cases.
5 When using a pad conguration not found in the trigger bank
settings (p. 35)
5 When using a drum stand other than the separately sold
drum stand (MDS-50KV or MDS-50K)
5 When using a drum trigger (sold separately)
* In some cases, the acoustic sound from an acoustic drum or
from a monitor speaker might cause a pad to be triggered. In
such cases, adjusting the crosstalk cancelation settings will not
solve the problem. Pay attention to the following considerations
when setting up your equipment.
5 Set up the pads at a distance from the speakers
5 Angle the pads, placing them where they are less likely to be
aected by the sound
5 Increase the Threshold value of the pad (refer to “Data List”
(PDF))
Tips for positioning the pads
You can prevent crosstalk by positioning the pads in a way that
minimizes their susceptibility to an external source of vibration.
Before you adjust the crosstalk cancellation settings, please note
the following points when setting up your system.
5 Don’t place pads in contact with each other.
5 If attaching multiple pads to the same stand,increase the
distance between them.
5 Firmly tighten the knobs that fasten the pad to ensure that the
pad is securely attached to the stand.
Example) Crash 1 is triggered when you strike the
Tom 1 pad
1. Press the [TRIGGER] button.
2. Press the PAGE [DOWN] button to access page 3
(TRIG MONITOR).
3. Press the [F2] (XTALK) button.
The TRIGGER XTALK MONITOR screen appears.

4. Strike the tom 1 (T1) pad
The crosstalk detection status is shown in the TRIGGER XTALK
MONITOR screen.
The illustration below indicates that tom 2 (T2) and crash 1 (C1)
detected vibration when tom 1 (T1) was struck.
A “
H
" symbol is shown for pads that are experiencing crosstalk.

Explanation
Tom 2 (T2)
Will not sound, because crosstalk cancellation is
active.
Crash 1 (C1)
Crosstalk is occurring.
By adjusting the crosstalk cancellation value, you
can prevent the sound from being triggered.
5. Press the [F3] (FOCUS) button to move the cursor to C1.
If crosstalk is occurring for multiple pads, each press of the [F3]
(FOCUS) button will move the cursor to another pad that is
experiencing crosstalk.
6. Press the [F4] (SET) button.
In this case, the value is automatically set to “33,” which is the
minimum value that can cancel triggering for crash 1.
Value Explanation
0–80 Strength of crosstalk cancellation
* The value will not exceed 40 when you set crosstalk cancellation
automatically. If you need to set this value above 40, use the [–]
[+] buttons or the dial to edit the value.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to make crosstalk cancellation
settings.
MEMO
You can also use the cursor [
K
] [
J
] buttons, [–] [+] buttons, or
the dial to make crosstalk cancellation settings manually.
