Trigger Settings
Here’s how to make trigger settings so that the signals from the
pads can be accurately processed by the TD-50.
Specifying the Pad Type
You can specify the type of pad (trigger type) used by each trigger
input of the trigger bank.
Trigger type
The trigger type is a collection of various trigger parameters,
adjusted to values that are appropriate for each pad.
To obtain the optimal settings for the pad used with
each trigger input, specify the model (type) of pad that’s
connected.
Trigger bank
A trigger bank contains an entire set of settings for 14
triggers.
