11.3.1.6 X-TALK
X-Talk is a tool to avoid triggering of unwanted signals caused by other pads in the immediate
vicinity. When instruments are mounted on a rack or stands which have physical contact, playing on
one instrument can cause shock-like vibrations. As a result, trigger sensors are activated in a more
aggressive way than the impact of natural sonic waves would have on surrounding acoustic instru-
ments. Consequently, surrounding instruments respond with sound whose volume is unnaturally high.
X-Talk allows you to set a Threshold for other triggers to respond to strokes on a certain pad, while
velocity values below the set threshold are simply ignored by the analyzing unit (G9 Module). How-
ever, this practice comes at a price, since the physical impact of two instruments on each other is
mostly mutual. High X-Talk thresholds work against low activation thresholds of individual pads
(sensitive players) and any physical issue often requires rising the X-Talk values on both instruments
causing the problem. Check your hardware first and try to avoid physical contact as much as
possible before making use of the X-Talk feature.
X-Talk Parameter Value Range: 0-7
See the following section on how to work with X-Talk.
11.3.1.6.1 ADJUSTING X-TALK PARAMETERS
If despite the best possible hardware setup, a pad is activated by others, try to identify the source
pad, sending unwanted MIDI signals using the X-Talk Monitor. Then raise the X-Talk value to at least
one (1) on both pads (emitting pad and receiving pad). If the problem still occurs, raise the value
gradually on the pad which receives unwanted signals. It is important that both pads have X-Talk
values of at least one to make them a member of the X-talk group. High X-talk values on the pad
experiencing disturbance will have no effect, if there is not at least one other connected pad with
an X-talk value of at least 1. Only keep raising x-talk values on pads experiencing problems. The goal
is: as low as possible, and only as high as required to suppress viral MIDI signals.
11.3.1.7 HIGH POSITION (HI-HAT PEDAL ONLY)
Set the High Position of the Hi-Hat Pedal, when pedal is fully open (released). If set too high you may
not be able to access the Sound Sample Layers for fully opened Hi-Hat Cymbals, even if the Cym-
bals are spaced apart completely (resting position).
Ideally you adjust Low Position and High Position in a way that the values are as far apart as possible
and yet pedal/controller reach extreme positions. Use the VU Meter Pedal Position (not very accu-
rate) or CC messages visible in Pad Monitor. When using Pad Monitor CC messages as a guidance
you need to achieve such a configuration that CC messages are not sent by the G9 in extreme
pedal positions.
High Position Parameter Value Range: 0-127
11.3.1.8 LOW POSITION (HI-HAT PEDAL ONLY)
Set the low level of the pedal, when pedal is fully pressed, and the cymbals are in closed position.
This corresponds to the lowest possible position the controller carrier will reach. If Low Position is set
