PAD EQ (page 2)
This is a three-band equalizer that each drum kit provides for each strike location of each pad.
You can disable the pad equalizer eect that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks (p. 29).
This indicates whether the pad equalizer eect is output ( ) from each
jack or is not output ( ).
MST: MASTER OUT jacks
PHO: PHONES jacks (always output)
DIR: DIRECT OUT jacks
Parameter Value Explanation
[F4] button OFF, EQ ON Turns pad equalizer on/o.
Low Freq 20 Hz–1 kHz Center frequency of the low range
Low Gain ([R1] knob) -15–+15 dB Amount of boost/cut for the low range
Mid Freq 20 Hz–16 kHz Center frequency of the mid range
Mid Q 0.5–8.0
Width of the frequency range
A higher Mid Q narrows the aected area.
Mid Gain ([R2] knob) -15–+15 dB Amount of boost/cut for the mid range
High Freq 1 kHz–16 kHz Center frequency of the high range
High Gain ([R3] knob) -15–+15 dB Amount of boost/cut for the high range
MEMO
If you press the [F5] (H&R) button to turn it “ON,” you can simultaneously make settings for the head area and rim area, etc.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is “OFF,” the pad equalizer eect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is “OFF,” and Master OUT is set to “DIRECT,” the pad equalizer eect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT
OUT jacks and MASTER OUT jacks.
PAD COMP (page 3)
This is a compressor that each drum kit provides for each pad.
The pad compressor eect can be applied only to the output from the DIRECT OUT jacks. You can also disable the pad compressor eect from being
applied to the PHONES jack output (p. 29).
This indicates whether the pad compressor eect is output ( ) from each
jack or is not output ( ).
MST: MASTER OUT jacks
PHO: PHONES jacks
DIR: DIRECT OUT jacks
Parameter Value Explanation
[F4] button OFF, COMP ON Turns pad compressor on/o.

2, SOFT, HARD, LIMITER
Character of the compressor
* When you change this parameter, the pad compressor’s parameters Ratio, Knee, Attack, and
Release change to optimal settings for your selection. You can then make further adjustments to
these parameters as necessary.
Threshold ([R2] knob) -48–0 dB Volume level at which compression begins
Gain ([R3] knob) -24–+24 dB Output level of the compressor
Ratio 1:1–100:1 Compression ratio
Knee HARD, SOFT1–3 Attack of the sound at the moment compression is applied
Attack 0–100 mSec Time from when the volume goes up the threshold level until the compressor eect applies
Release 10–1000 mSec
Time from when the volume falls below the threshold level until the compressor eect no longer
applies
* Pad compressor settings are made for individual pads. They cannot be made for individual strike locations (such as the head or rim).
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is “OFF,” the pad compressor eect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is “OFF,” and Master Out is set to “DIRECT,” the pad compressor eect does not apply to the sound that is output from the
DIRECT OUT jacks and the MASTER OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadComp to Phones is “OFF,” the pad compressor eect does not apply to the sound that is output from the PHONES jacks.
