o Head-Rim Adj: The amount of crosstalk reduction between the head (center) and rim of a drum pad. Higher values reduce the probability that the pad's rim sound will be triggered when you play its head only and vice versa (due to the force being transferred through the pad). Don't set this value too high, though! If this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its sound if you intentionally play both the head and rim at the same time; it may be silenced because the module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk. o Threshold: The amount of force required to trigger the sound. o Xtalk: The amount of crosstalk reduction. Higher values reduce the probability that the pad's sound will be triggered when you play another pad (due to the force being transferred through a rack, through the floor, etc.). Don't set this value too high, though! If this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its sound if you play another pad at the same time; it may be silenced because the module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk. o Curve: The velocity curve of the pad. This controls the relationship between the amount of playing force and the volume level of the pad's sound. o Retrig Cancel: The required amount of time between successive hits of the pad to produce the sound for both hits. o MIDI Note: When the drum module's USB MIDI port or MIDI Out is connected to a computer or external MIDI device, the pad will send this MIDI note to it. If you are not using those connections, this setting will not affect the trigger or its sound.

o
Head-Rim Adj:
The amount of crosstalk reduction between the head (center)
and rim of a drum pad. Higher values reduce the probability that the pad’s rim
sound will be triggered when you play its head only and vice versa (due to the
force being transferred through the pad). Don’t set this value too high, though! If
this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its sound if you intentionally
play both the head and rim at the same time; it may be silenced because the
module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.
o
Threshold:
The
amount of force required to trigger the sound.
o
Xtalk:
The
amount of crosstalk reduction. Higher values reduce the probability
that the pad’s sound will be triggered when you play another pad (due to the
force being transferred through a rack, through the floor, etc.). Don’t set this
value too high, though! If this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its
sound if you play another pad at the same time; it may be silenced because the
module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.
o
Curve:
The velocity curve of the pad. This controls the relationship between the
amount of playing force and the volume level of the pad’s sound.
o
Retrig Cancel:
The required amount of time between successive hits of the pad
to produce the sound for both hits.
o
MIDI Note:
When the drum module’s
USB MIDI port
or
MIDI Out
is connected to
a computer or external MIDI device, the pad will send this MIDI note to it. If you are
not using those connections, this setting will not affect the trigger or its sound.
