UTILITY MODE
The Utility mode contains the settings for the module operations that
aren’t in the Kit or Song modes.
The main screen settings are:
• Auto Power- on/off: Turns off module after 4 hours of no use.
• MIDI Local- on/off: Local on/off helps to fix MIDI loop issues. Set to
off if you are using an external MIDI sequencer.
• MIDI Soft Thru- on/off: Turns MIDI out to thru to link several MIDI
products.
TRIGGER
Normally the Trigger settings are optimized for the best playability
for the SD2000. However since some players will want different
sensitivities or may place the drums on the rack in a different manner
than the factory setup you may find it helpful modify the settings for
your own playability. To Enter the Trigger settings menu press the
Function button under Trigger on the Main Utility screen.
Note: When changing the triggers parameters on the various parts of
the kit the trigger responses with the kit will be slow. This is due to
the module refreshing the information on the screen. We recommend
setting the triggers parameters one drum or cymbal at a time and
then verifying your settings by pressing the Function Back button to
return to the main Utility screen.
TRIGGER SETTINGS:
• Follow Trigger - On/Off: This allows you to select the drum or
cymbal settings by striking it.
• Current Trigger - all inputs: This allows you to manually select the
trigger input for editing
• Sensitivity -1-32: This adjusts the sensitivity of the pad trigger to
regulate the pad response. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity,
so that the pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly.
• Threshold - 0-50: This setting allows a trigger signal to be received
only when the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This can
be used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to extraneous
vibrations from another pad.
• Curve: Easy, Fixed, Normal, Dynamic: These curves can be set per
pad. Depending on your playing style you may want to use different
curves for different drums and cymbals.
Easy: Good for players that want to reach high dynamic response
without hitting too hard.
Fixed: The sound will be at a fixed volume each time, regardless
of how hard a pad is hit.
Normal: The most linear playing curve.
Dynamic: Offers the highest dynamic range.
• Retrigger -1-8: The trigger response of the SD2000 has been
designed to exactly match the signals produced by the SD2000
drum and cymbal pads. Triggering the SD2000 from other
commercially available pads or triggers may result in ‘double
triggering’ due to the long decay characteristics of some types of
pickups. Setting the retrigger value to a higher number can in most
cases eliminate unwanted double triggering, although this may
prevent intentional rapid playing, such as during a drum roll. Set
the ‘retrigger’ to the highest possible value while still ensuring that
double triggering is eliminated.
• Crosstalk - 0-75: When two pads are mounted on
the same stand, the vibration produced by hitting
one pad may trigger the sound from another pad
unintentionally (This is called crosstalk.) You can
avoid this problem by adjusting Crosstalk Cancel on
the pad that is sounding inadvertently. If the value
is set too high, then when two pads are played
simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully
will not sound. So be careful and set this parameter
to the minimum value required to prevent such
crosstalk. With a setting of 0 crosstalk prevention
does not function.
• Splash Sensitivity - 1-8: This adjusts the hi hat pedal
splash sensitivity.
