11.2.1.4 PAD COMPONENTS
The pad component icons are located on the right-hand
side of module 2. You can tap on an icon to activate the
component, giving access to its parameters in module 3.
The appearance of the icons and their naming depends
on the Trigger Bank assigned. Assigning a cymbal trigger
bank will display Bow/Bell/Edge icons and cymbal pa-
rameters in module 3, even though the corresponding
input channel is labeled as e.g. “Snare”. This means in
most cases you can convert a pad input channel to a
cymbal input and vice versa. However, not all compo-
nents of the trigger bank might be accessible due to a
different hardware design of the channel on the trigger
board.
When gaining an understanding of the G9 Trigger Set-
tings, it is important to point out that all function sets and
parameters of module 3 always refer to the selected pad
under Input Channels and its active component (com-
ponent icon in module 2). By changing either pad or
component, parameter values in module 3 will update
accordingly. To keep track of your trigger settings, try to
look at this mode as a cascade of Input Channel, Component and Parameters:
11.3 MODULE 3
This module hosts all relevant accessible parameters to fine tune the trigger performance of your
pads. Here you can calibrate your G9 to 3
rd
party equipment and optimize the communication
between pads and console.
In case of trigger issues, please start based of the Setups and Trigger Banks provided and sparingly
experiment with the parameters available.
Tip: If available, please load provided factory Trigger Banks first. Regarding GEWA equipment,
the Standard Setups assign trigger banks for GEWA equipment to all input channels.
This section focusses on the explanation of parameters and terms, so that you gain an understand-
ing which parameter to examine when a certain problem occurs.
Finally, when you are happy with the performance, save the parameter values as a preset (Trigger
Bank or directly as a Setup). Preset Management regarding Trigger Settings is explained in detail in
the previous section (see 11.2.1.3 Presets - Setup and Trigger Bank on page 82).
The accessible trigger parameters depend on the component to be adjusted. Therefore, we can
compile all parameters in a simple map. In the UI, Parameters are spread over 2 function sets in
module 3: Trigger Settings and Advanced Settings.
