Pad Settings

[F2] PAD

1

FootClosePosi (Foot Close Position)

Determines the amount of time it takes to detect a foot splash

(from the start of a downward press to the opening of the hi-

hat controller). The smaller the value, the more narrow the

“virtual” open position is.

B

FootSplashSens (Foot Splash Sensitivity)

Determines the length of time from the moment you apply a

foot-splash performance to the Hi-Hat Controller to the

moment the foot-splashed hi-hat sound is actually triggered.

For larger values, you can play the foot-splashed sound more

easily; however, slight movements of the pedal may trigger

the sound inadvertently. It is a good idea to set this parameter

to “off” if you do not play foot-splashes.

C

SendHH

Determines whether or not the continuous change of the

sound generated by opening/closing the Hi-Hit cymbal (by

pressing/releasing the Hi-Hat Controller) is transmitted as

MIDI messages via MIDI OUT.

From this display, you can assign functions other than trig-

gering the drum sound to the pad (Trigger Input Source).

1

SOURCE (Trigger Input source)

Determines the Trigger Input Source to which the speciﬁed

function is assigned. When Input Lock (page 79) is turned off,

you can select the Trigger Input Source also by hitting the

corresponding section of the pad.

B

PadFunc

Determines the function assigned to the Trigger Input Source

speciﬁed above.

No function is assigned. Normal operation.

inc kitNo.

ber by 1.

ber by 1.

Hitting the pad three times sets the tempo

value even when the Tap display is not called

up.

clk on/off

Hitting the pad starts/stops Click playback.

1

TrigBypass

When this parameter is set to on, the DTX900 will not accept

any Trigger Signals coming from all Trigger Input Sources.

This parameter is useful when you want to cancel all Trigger

Signals temporarily in order to change the pad connection

setup. This parameter should be set to off normally.
