Hint
The default Factory Setup is GEWA STUDIO. If you have purchased a different
GEWA Shell configuration, please load the corresponding setup first to ensure the
best trigger performance. (See also section 11.2.1.3.1 Loading Presets on page 84)
The setups shown above can also be used as a starting point for customized Hardware setups.
The following sections will guide you through the process of creating new setups. You will also learn
how to edit, rename, modify and delete existing presets.
11.2.1.2 TRIGGER BANK
As opposed to the sounds assigned to pad components (Kit Editor), trigger parameter values are
not stored directly into the drum kit, but in their own preset, which is independent from any kit. This
makes sense, because trigger detection is hardware related and not dependent on any sound
parameter. When changing a sound, all trigger parameter values remain the same, since you are
still playing the same hardware. For this reason, the whole trigger section works differently from the
kit editor, although its appearance is similar.
Trigger banks are stored per input channel (pad), containing all real-time parameter values of each
pad component. The difference in conception of Sound Select (Kit Editor) and Trigger Bank (Trigger
settings) figures in the fact that the name in the trigger bank field does not update when tapping on
the different component icons of module 2. However, the parameters in Trigger Settings ➔ Module 3
will update depending on the active component.
