Reference Troubleshooting If you notice double triggering, crosstalk, or skipped sounds (as described below), try the following.  Double triggering-i.e., multiple sounds are produced in response to a single strike: • If the pad or drum trigger in question features a controller for adjusting output or sensitivity, turn it down. • Ensure that the parameter on the Gain page (TRG4) from Menu Mode is not set too high. (See page 68.)  Crosstalk is occurring-i.e., a sound is produced by a pad other than the one that was struck. • Ensure that the parameter on the Trigger Setup page (TRG1) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 66.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Gain page (TRG4) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 68.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Minimum Level page (TRG5) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 68.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Reject Time page (TRG7) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 69.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Crosstalk page (TRG10) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 70.) • Ensure that the parameters on the Crosstalk Pads page (TRG11) from Menu Mode are set appropriately. (See page 70.) • If using a pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure that it is set appropriately.  Skipped sounds-i.e., a pad does not produce a sound (usually during rolls or fills): • Ensure that the parameter on the Reject Time page (TRG7) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 69.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Crosstalk page (TRG10) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 70.)  If hi-hat sounds are occasionally produced even though the hi-hat controller is configured to produce a kick drum sound (i.e., DblBass is set to "on"), try the following. • Increase the setting of the parameter on the Minimum Level page (TRG5) from Menu Mode. Note that if this setting is too high, it may become difficult to play the hi-hat. (See page 68.)  If only one voice is triggered when two pads are played simultaneously, try the following. • Ensure that the parameter on the Trigger Setup page (TRG1) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 66.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Gain page (TRG4) from Menu Mode is set appropriately for the pad that does not trigger a voice. (See page 68.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Minimum Level page (TRG5) from Menu Mode is set appropriately for the pad that does not trigger a voice. (See page 68.) • Ensure that the parameter on the Crosstalk page (TRG10) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 70.) • Ensure that the parameters on the Crosstalk Pads page (TRG11) from Menu Mode are set appropriately. (See page 70.) • Ensure that both pads are not assigned to the same group on the Alternate Group page (KitV13) from Menu Mode. (See page 61.) Optional add-on products do not operate as expected.  If consistent, reliable trigger signals cannot be produced using a drum trigger attached to an acoustic drum, try the following. • Read the section Integrating Electronic & Acoustic Drums. (See page 77.) • Mute the head if it is vibrating in an irregular fashion. • Ensure that the drum trigger is attached in the vicinity of the rim and not near the center of the head. • Ensure that the drum trigger makes contact only with the drum.  If a pad controller does not work as expected, try the following. • Ensure that you are using a pad featuring a pad controller. • Ensure that the parameter on the Pad Control page (KitC5) from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 62.) • Avoid holding the rim while operating the pad controller as this can prevent it from working properly. Other common questions  How do I make the drum module store its settings? • The drum module automatically stores its system settings whenever you turn it off using the [ ] (Standby/On) button. • Do not turn off the drum module by unplugging the power adaptor: It will not be able to store its system settings in such a case. • User settings for kits, click sets, and triggers must be stored manually. (See pages 25, 37, and 56.)  How do I reset all of the drum module's parameters to their default settings? • Use the function on the Factory Set page (System10) from Menu Mode to restore the default settings. (See page 75.)  How do I reset all of the drum module's parameters to the settings they had when I last turned it on? • Use the function on the Restore page (System9) from Menu Mode. (See page 75.)  How do I stop the drum module turning off before I'm finished using it? • Set the parameter on the Auto Power-Off page (System8) from Menu Mode to "off". (See page 75.)  Why won't a selected song play? • If the song you selected contains no data, the drum module will not be able to play it.  How do I stop the drum module changing the current drum kit when I select a different song? • By default, your drum module always chooses the best kit for each song. To prevent it from doing so, set the parameter on the Kit Lock page (System1) from Menu Mode to "on". (See page 73.)  How do I have my drum module choose the best drum kit for each song? • Set the parameter on the Kit Lock page (System1) from Menu Mode to "off". (See page 73.)  What should I do if I can't hear a song's drum parts? • Ensure that the drum parts have not been muted. (See page 27.)  My training scores are strange. Why is this? • Crosstalk could be triggering sounds unintentionally as you drum. See the above section Crosstalk is occurring. 82 DTX502 Owner's Manual
