Reference KIT VOICE TRIGGER Setting Area (TRG) B Pad type Use this parameter to set a pad type for the pad(s) indicated by 1. Listed below, the available options will depend on whether you selected one or more of the built-in pads (i.e., UP, MID, LOW, or 01 to 12) or one of the external pads (i.e., 13 to 17) using 1 above. For built-in pads StickDyna, StickNorm, StickNarrow, HandDyna, HandNorm, or Hand Settings For external pads KP125W/125, KP65, XP120/100Sn, XP120/ 100Tm, TP120/100Sn, TP120/100Tm, TP65S Snare, TP65S Tom, TP65S HiHat, TP65, PCY155, PCY135, PCY150S, PCY130SC, PCY130S/130, PCY65S/65, RHH135, RHH130, DT Snare, DT HiTom, DT LoTom, DT Kick, TRG Snare 1, TRG Snare 2, TRG Snare 3, TRG HiTom 1, TRG HiTom 2, TRG LoTom 1, TRG LoTom 2, TRG Kick 1, or TRG Kick 2 C Input level indicator Visual representation of the input level for the pad(s) being struck. With a pad and pad type selected on the Pad Type page (TRG2-1), press the [ENTER] button to access the five parameter setting pages (TRG2-1-1 to TRG2-1-5) for that pad type's trigger setup. You can navigate between these pages using the [B]/[C] buttons. NOTE • If you have selected the UP, MID, or LOW group of pads, the values initially shown on each parameter-setting page will correspond to those for Pad 4 and 10, respectively. In such a case, furthermore, changes made to any parameter will affect all pads in the group. • The pad indicator and input level indicator shown on the upper row of text on the five parameter-setting pages (TRG2-1-1 to TRG2-1-5) are identical to those from the Pad Type page (TRG2-1). Accordingly, they are not covered in the following page descriptions. • If one or more of the built-in pads are set to "HandDyna", "HandNorm", or "HandR", the Hand icon ( ˇÁ ) will be displayed on the Select Kit page (KIT1). TRG2-1-1 Input Gain page TRG2-1-1≥-MID-˛¸ ≥≥≥≥Gain=30 1 1 Gain Use this parameter to set the level of gain (or amplification) that is applied to the input signal from the selected pad(s) before it is converted into a trigger signal. With a high setting, all input signals above a certain level will be amplified to the same level (i.e., the maximum level). This means that variations in the softness or hardness with which the pad is struck can be smoothed out. Meanwhile, when a low setting is used, the softness or hardness of playing will be reflected to a much greater degree in the output trigger signal, allowing for more expressive performances. Settings 0 to 63 TRG2-1-2 Velocity Curve page TRG2-1-2≥-MID-˛¸ VelCurve=normal 1 1 Velocity curve (VelCurve) Use this parameter to select a velocity curve for the selected pad(s). A velocity curve determines how the relative strength of playing affects the signal produced. For example, with the "loud2" velocity curve shown below, relatively loud sounds (i.e., high velocities) can be produced even with softer playing. In contrast, the "hard2" curve only produces loud sounds when the pad in question is struck quite hard. Settings loud2, loud1, normal, hard1, or hard2 loud2 loud1 norm hard1 hard2 Velocity Trigger input level (i.e., strength of playing) → TRG2-1-3 Input Level Range page TRG2-1-3≥-MID-˛¸ Level=≥≥≥0%-100% 1 1 Level Use this parameter to set the range of input signals (in percentage format) that will be converted into trigger signals. Any input signals at the minimum level or lower will not be converted into a trigger signal, and therefore, will not produce any sound. Meanwhile, input signals at the maximum level or higher will result in trigger signals with the maximum velocity as set on the Velocity Range page (TRG2-1-4).
