10 INSTRUMENT The Instrument menu contains all sound options. You can create your own drum kit presets and modify the drum kit presets. For example, change the individual pad sounds, tune them and add effects. It is also possible to add equalizers and compressors to each pad and to select a second sound for each channel. The permanently installed drum kit presets are a good starting point. All available options are part of the drum kit parameters and affect the level of the pads and pad components.
10.1 SOUND EDITING INSTRUMENT [F1] Instrument In the view you now have the possibility to edit or exchange your loaded sound. Functions: [F1] [FX SEND] Mixer to add effects to your sound. [F2] [SOUND] Sound selection for the selected input. [F3] Back to INSTRUMENT main menu The display window is always overwritten with the currently loaded sound (e.g. 22" Brooklyn twentytwo) of the selected zone (KICK I HEAD). In the list you will find the parameters that you can change.
10.1.1.4 A TTACK T IME Change the "attack" of the drum by setting a low value for a direct and tight attack sound and a high value for a rather soft attack sound. This way, in the case of a snare, you can also simulate different snare wire tensions. 10.1.1.5 R ELEASE T IME Controls the length of the sustain (decay). In this way, the dampening of an instrument can be simulated. The natural sustain of the DRY sample (without effects) shortens in low dial positions and sounds longer in high dial positions.
10.1.2 SOUND INSTRUMENT [F1] [F2] Sound Under [SOUND] you can assign a new sound to each of your inputs and zones. This gives you the possibility to create your own drum kit presets or to adapt the sound of existing presets. Of course, you can also use your own .wav file here. Read in the chapter "USB Load/Save" how to import a Wav file. Select Input Use the dial [6] [] to select the input whose sound you want to change. The input is displayed at the top left.
10.1.1 SOUND GROUPING Sound Grouping is used to assign all relevant samples of the instrument sampled from individual sounds directly to the corresponding zones. For example: Snare = Snare CS (consisting of two samples = Snare Center & Snare Side) & Snare Rim + X-Stick Tom Pad = Head & Rim(shot) Cymbals = Bow, Bell & Edge Activate the function by pressing [F2] [GROUPING].
10.2 EQUALIZER & COMPRESSOR INSTRUMENT [F2] The G5 module offers a fully parametric 3-band equalizer and a compressor for each input channel/pad. Both features are implemented as insert types in the signal path. In this way, it is possible to individually shape the sound of each connected pad. Pad EQ and compressors are part of the drum kit parameters and a part of the mix that can be heard in Direct Outs and Digital Outs.
INSTRUMENT [F2] [F1] EQ I Comp The G5 offers a selection of presets to improve your sound even without a sound engineering background. Load a preset [F2] and observe how it affects the sound. To change individual parameters, select the corresponding menu item from the list with the dial [5] or the navigation keys [8]. Change the value according to your wishes with the dial [7] or the navigation keys [8]. You can select the inputs with the dial [6]. To exit the menu, press [F3].
Enabled Switch function on and off (on / off) Gain Boosts or attenuates the range of the set band frequency determined by Q and increases or decreases the audio signal by the set dB value. Q-Factor Determines the bandwidth/quality of the bell filter. Determines the shape of the curve around the curvature point. High values lead to a sharp change in curvature and a narrow bandwidth.
10.3 SECOND SOUND INSTRUMENT [F3] 2nd Sound Second Sound (2nd Sound) allows you to place another sound on top of a pad sound. When the Second Sound is activated, both sounds are played simultaneously. To activate the 2nd Sound for your input, select the menu item "SECOND SOUND ACTIVE" with the dial [5] or the navigation key [8] and set it to "ON" with the dial [7] [], the navigation key [8] with [ENTER].

12 TRIGGER SETTINGS In Trigger Settings mode, you control the behaviour of the sensors (triggers) of the connected pads. The G5 drum module can therefore be adapted to your personal, individual playing style. When you make changes to a preset, they are automatically saved. You will also find an asterisk [*] next to the trigger setup name. If you want to save your settings in your own preset, you can do this under: [TRIGGER SETTINGS] -> [F1] Settings -> [F2] Preset.
12.1 SETTINGS TRIGGER SETTINGS [F2] Settings In the SETTINGS you can adjust your trigger and all the associated functions to your wishes. In the upper area you see the selected instrument. With the dial [6] [] you can choose between the zones of the instrument (HEAD I RIM; BELL I EDGE I BOW). The following functions are available for the selected trigger: X-Talk Press [F1] to adjust the trigger behaviour in case of crosstalk. Preset Press [F2] to access the presets.
12.1.1 PARAMETER TRIGGER SETTINGS [F1] Parameter GAIN This is an amplification of the received trigger signals before input. Some pads or triggers available on the market produce accurate but weak signals that can be amplified by this parameter before they are registered as an input signal in the G5 module. The construction of the pad used can also contribute to weak signals.
HIGH LEVEL Upper, accepted level of the input signal. In conjunction with Threshold, it defines the limits of the range of the input signals. Signals with levels between Threshold and High Level generate MIDI notes with velocity values between 8 and 127. All signals with levels above High Level generate MIDI notes with velocity 127. Values between Treshold and High Level define the possible dynamic range. SCAN TIME The sampling time of the input signal.
RETRIGGER MASK Retrigger Mask determines how many milliseconds must pass after a previously detected signal before new signals are accepted - to prevent a "machine gun effect" or false trigger due to vibrations after a beat. As another threshold value, this is one of the most important parameters and it may take some time to find the best value.
CURVE ID Here you will find the selection of different trigger curves that significantly influence the response behaviour of the corresponding pad. The following preset curves are available for selection: Linear, Convex, Concave.
DYN LEVEL & DYN TIME Dyn Level determines how hard the G5 tries to suppress false triggers, whereas Dyn Time determines how long false triggers are suppressed. For most pads with rubber playing surfaces, Dyn Level values between 8 and 15 and Dyn Time between 8 and 20 should give the best results. For pads with fabric heads, it may be necessary to increase Dyn Time to over 20 and up to 60 as the skin diameter increases. Dyn Level Parameter Value range: 0-15 Dyn Time Parameter Value range: 0-60 ms 12.1.
Selecting the trigger input Use the dial [5] [] or the navigation keys [8] to select the channel whose value you want to change. The selected input is displayed inverted. Zone With the dial [6] [] or the navigation keys [8], you can select the zone. The selected zone is displayed inverted. You can choose between: Upper row = Head or Bow Lower row = Rim or Edge. Set values With the dial [7] you can change the value of the input and the respective selected zone.
13 MIX Under MIX you will find the mixers to adjust the volume settings for your G5 module. You can control the volume of the individual channels of each drum kit preset, control the FX volume and have the option to control the volume of the hi-hat and the outputs. Not all changes are automatically saved but are part of the drum kit settings. These include the hi-hat volume, the FX level and the mixer for the individual channels of the drum kit.
13.1 GENERAL MIX [F1] General In the [GENERAL] menu, you will find the volume settings for the master outputs, the headphones, the mix-in (& Bluetooth), the metronome (click) and the song player (song).

14 EFFECTS The G5 is equipped with four different effect modules, so you can edit your drum sound down to the smallest detail and customise it according to your wishes. Not all changes are automatically saved, but are part of the drum kit settings. If changes have been made that have not yet been saved, this is marked with a [*]. EFFECTS Effects When you press the [EFFECTS] button, you first see an overview of all available effects.
14.1 AMBIENT EFFECTS [F1] Ambient The Ambience module contains room recordings made in the Berlin Funkhaus studios. Since a room reacts to moving air in a characteristic and consistent way, the possibilities of the parameters are limited by the type of effect. Ambience controls the time it takes for sound to bounce off an obstacle, resulting in an echo.
14.1.1 FX SEND - AMBIENT EFFECTS [F1] [F1] Via [FX Send], you can specifically assign the effect to each channel. Select channel Use the dial [5] [] or the navigation keys [8] to select the channel you want to change the volume of. Change volume Turn dial [7] [] or press navigation key [8] to change the volume. Grouping Turn the dial [6] and activate the GROUPING function. Now you have the possibility, when selecting the tom and cymbal channels, to adjust them up or down as one unit.
14.2 INSTRUMENT-REVERB EFFECTS [F1] Reverb This module contains classic and generic algorithms for simulating an instrument-specific reverb. Some reverb types are traditionally generated electronically, while others (e.g. Plate) emulate mechanical devices that add artificial reverb to the dry recording. The difference between instrument reverb and room reverb is conceptual rather than a property. Does an instrument possess reverb when there is no room? This is certainly a philosophical question.
14.2.1 FX SEND - REVERB EFFECTS [F1] [F1] With [FX Send], you can assign the effect volume to each channel specifically. Select channel Use the dial [5] [] or the navigation keys [8] to select the channel you want to change the volume of. Change volume Use the dial [7] [], the navigation keys [8] or the [+] & [-] keys to change the volume. Grouping Turn the dial [6] and activate the GROUPING function.
14.2.2 PRESET EFFECTS [F2] [F1] Reverb You can choose from presets, create your own or rename them. Use the dial [5] or the navigation keys [8] to select a corresponding preset from the list. To load the preset, press [F1] or [ENTER]. To save your own preset, find a free USER slot and press [F2]. Press [F3] to exit the layer or any menu key to exit the entire menu. For a detailed description of how to load, save and overwrite presets, see: Loading and saving from presets.
14.2.3 REVERB -TYPES EFFECTS [INST REV. o. ROOM REV.] [F1] Reverb You have the possibility to choose from different reverb types. Use the dial [7], the navigation keys [8] or the [+] and [-] keys. Plate1 Small Plates Mechanically generated reverb without early reflections. This is a simulation of a smaller reverb plate with a specific characteristic. Plate1 Med Plates Mechanically generated reverb without early reflections.
Hall Med An algorithm that simulates a medium-sized concert hall with early reflections and a longer decay than room simulations. Hall Large An algorithm that simulates a large concert hall with early reflections and a longer decay than room simulations. 14.2.4 REVERB -PARAMETER EFFECTS [INST REV. o. ROOM REV.] [F1] Reverb You have the option of changing further parameters.
Preset By pressing [F2] you have direct access to available presets or you can create your own user presets. Turning the effect on / off Use the dial [6] and switch to [on] or [off]. Exit the level Press [F3] to exit the layer or any menu key to exit the entire menu. 14.3 ROOM-REVERB EFFECTS [F1] Reverb The functions available in this module are the generic counterpart to the Ambience module.
14.4 MULTI FX EFFECTS [F1] Multi FX Effects in this module include anything not related to ambience, instrument reverb or room reverb, such as frequency modulation. The results are achieved by using algorithms to create a specific effect. In contrast to the reverb modules, the parameters of the multi-effect module change depending on the selected algorithm. The reciprocal effect parameters are drum kit parameters and are stored directly in the kit.
14.4.1 FX SEND – MULTI FX EFFECTS [F1] [F1] Via [FX Send], you can specifically switch the effect to each channel. Select channel Use the dial [5] [] or the navigation keys [8] to select the channel you want to change the volume of. Change volume Use the dial [7] [], the navigation keys [8] or the [+] & [-] buttons to change the volume. Grouping Turn the dial [6] and activate the GROUPING function.
14.4.2 PRESET – MULTI FX EFFECTS [F1] [F2] Multi FX You can choose from presets, create your own or rename them. Use the dial [5] or the navigation keys [8] to select a corresponding preset from the list. To load the preset, press [F1] or [ENTER]. To save your own preset, find a free USER slot and press [F2]. Press [F3] to exit the layer or any menu key to exit the entire menu. For a detailed description of how to load, save and overwrite presets, see: Loading and saving from presets.
14.4.3 FX TYPE – MULTI FX EFFECTS [MULTI FX] [F1] Multi FX You have the possibility to choose from different Multi FX types. To do this, use the dial [7], the navigation keys [8] or the [+] and [-] keys. Each FX type has different parameters that are listed. You will find a tabular list in the following chapter. Delay Delay Time, Feedback, Pre-Low-Pass, High Damp Records a segment of the played sound and repeats it several times with a certain delay (multiecho).
Phaser Modulation Rate, Modulation Depth, Resonance An effect quite similar to the flanger, but with a somewhat "softer" sound. Like a wah-wah, the effect is created by the filter moving through the frequency spectrum like a brush. However, while the movement dynamics of a wah-wah are determined by the intensity of the stick beat, the filter dynamics of the phaser are created by a sine wave LFO.
Wah-Wah Parameter Value range Filter Type Low Pass, Band Pass Frequency 100Hz - 8kHz Resonance 0-100 Direction Up, Down Description Choose between a high cut filter (low pass) or band pass bell filter. Underlying constants: Transition steepness: 12 dB (Low Pass) Hz Depending on the selected filter type, this parameter sets the centre frequencies of low pass or band pass for the stroke velocity value of 0 (starting point). Corresponds to the "Q" factor in equalization.
Distortion / Saturation Parameter Value range Unit Description Choose between two methods of effect generation with different characteristics: OD (Overdrive) and DS (Distortion). While Overdrive models the characteristics known from tube amplifiers, Distortion provides the distortion characteristics typical of transistor amplifiers. Type OD, DS Drive 0-100 % This parameter controls the intensity of the effect (scaling up frequency amplitudes). The values range from 0% (linear) to 100% (max.
Flanger Parameter Value range Unit Description 0-10 Hz Controls the length of the LFO waveform period and thus the frequency of the generated sweep. Rate Controls the intensity of the effect by adjusting the height of the LFO amplitude. The parameter values range from 0 (off) to 127 (intense). Always starting at high frequencies, specify how far the underlying LFO-controlled comp filter is allowed to advance into the low-frequency spectrum as it sweeps back and forth. 0-127 Depth Delay-Time 0.
Auto Pan Parameter Rate Depth Value range Unit Description 1-20 Hz Controls the length of the LFO waveform period and thus the frequency of the generated sweep. Controls the intensity of the panning effect. Values range from 0 (equals to mono) to 127 (full alternation between the extreme values 63L and 63R).
Delay Parameter Type Value range Unit Description Mono produces a mono signal that is audible at both speakers simultaneously. In stereo mode, the delayed signals alternate between the left and right speakers. The mono signal is shifted to the left speaker and the second signal for the stereo effect is inserted between the mono signals on the right speaker. This doubles the feedback frequency (delay time is halved).

Master MIDI [F1] MIDI You can access various MIDI functions in your G5 module. MIDI PAD SETTINGS Some external applications use mappings of MIDI control signals that differ from the standard MIDI file, so that communication with other MIDI devices can be faulty. In this tab, the user can adjust note values for MIDI OUT configurations. MIDI IN control signals related to trigger detection of connected pads are fixed and cannot be modified.
17.6.1 MIDI PAD SETTINGS In this view, the user can adjust note values for MIDI OUT configurations. An example of a deviation from the G5's internal MIDI note assignment, is that some manufacturers use a specific note setup internally (e.g. the assignment starts at a different octave of the keyboard). In order to make these units compatible with each other, their external note configuration must be matched. Please also refer to the MIDI implementation for the units you wish to interact with.
