TRIGGER TRIGGER/PAD/PAD TYPE 1/6 TRIGGER/PAD/PAD TYPE 2/6 PadType Use this parameter to specify a type for the current pad. Tip: Pad types In order to ensure that you get the best sound from each and every pad, we have prepared a full range of optimized trigger parameters (i.e., various values related to pad input signals and the like), and named them accordingly. These groupings of parameters are referred to as "pad types". Given that pads come in many different varieties, such as snares, toms, cymbals, and kick drums, it follows that pad characteristics vary widely. The DTX700 comes preloaded with pad types for each different set of characteristics, allowing you to use them to their maximum potential. Settings: KP125W/125, KP65, XP120/100 Snare, XP120/100 Tom, XP80 Snare, XP80 Tom, XP70 Snare, XP70 Tom, XP120/100/80 Snare, XP80/70 Tom, TP120/100 Snare, TP120/100 Tom, TP65S Snare, TP65S Tom, TP65S HiHat, TP65, PCY155, PCY135, PCY150S, PCY130SC, PCY130S/130, PCY100, PCY100 HiHat, PCY65S/65, PCY155/135, RHH135, RHH130, DT Snare, DT HiTom, DT LoTom, DT Kick, TRG Snare, TRG HiTom, TRG LoTom, TRG Kick Gain Use this parameter to set the level of gain (or amplification) that is applied to the input signal from the selected pad 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 variation 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: 1 to 64 RejectTime Use this parameter to specify the time period after a pad is struck during which a second input signal will be ignored. The larger the value set here, the longer the period during which a second sound will not be produced. Settings: 4ms to 500ms NOTE • In the following special case, a second sound will be produced during the reject time. The struck pad has a type (as set on this, the Menu area's Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page) that does not start with "DT", and in addition, the trigger level of the second strike within the reject time is at least twice as strong as that of the first.

Gain
Use this parameter to set the level of gain (or amplification) that
is applied to the input signal from the selected pad before it is
converted into a trigger signal. With a high setting, all input sig-
nals above a certain level will be amplified to the same level (i.e.,
the maximum level). This means that variation 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:
1 to 64
RejectTime
Use this parameter to specify the time period after a pad is struck
during which a second input signal will be ignored. The larger the
value set here, the longer the period during which a second sound
will not be produced.
Settings:
4ms to 500ms
NOTE
•
In the following special case, a second sound will be produced
during the reject time.
The struck pad has a type (as set on this, the Menu area’s
Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page) that does not start with “DT”
,
and in addition, the trigger level of the second strike within
the reject time is at least twice as strong as that of the first.
