Parameter Description Values/Settings EXT Trigger This setting determines the Trigger In to be edited. The additional options available on this page will change depending on which trigger is selected. TRIN 1, TRIN 2, TRIN 3, TRIN 4, TRIN 5 TRIN1 Type This setting determines the type of trigger control. Velocity: The trigger will send a variable range of velocity values. Switch: The trigger only sends fixed on/off velocity values. Scan Time When Type is set to Variable, this setting determines how long the Strike Multipad firmware scans the voltage to detect a hit. Lower settings will reduce latency time, but may lessen dynamic accuracy. 1-20ms Retrig-C When Type is set to Variable, this setting helps reduce double triggering. Higher settings will make double triggers less common, but setting the value too high may cause the trigger to miss hits with faster playing, such as when performing a buzz roll. 0-32 Mask Time When Type is set to Variable, this setting works in conjunction with Retrig-C to reduce double triggering. 1-50ms X-Talk When Type is set to Variable, increase this setting to 0-32 reduce center hits accidentally triggering rim sounds, or rim hits triggering center sounds when using a dual-zone drum.
