Parameter
Value
Explanation
Rim Gain (*1)
0–3.2
Adjusts the balance between the force of striking the rim or edge and the loudness of the
sound.
If you increase this value, even soft strikes on the rim play at high volume.
If you decrease this value, even strong strikes on the rim play at low volume.
This is available for pads that support rim shots.
Threshold
0–31
Minimum sensitivity of the pads
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when a pad is struck above a
determined force level (velocity).
This can be used to prevent a pad from sounding due to vibrations from other pads.
In the following example, the B signal sounds, but A and C do not sound.
Check this by gradually increasing the value while playing the pad.
If a soft strike on the pad fails to make a sound, slightly lower this value.
Repeat this to obtain the ideal setting.
Curve
Volume change in response to pad strike strength
LINEAR,
This is the standard setting. This produces the most natural
balance between playing dynamics and volume change.
EXP1, EXP2,
Compared to “LINEAR”, strong dynamics produce a greater
change.
LOG1, LOG2,
Compared to “LINEAR”, a soft playing produces a greater
change.
SPLINE,
Extreme changes are made in response to your playing
dynamics.
LOUD1, LOUD2
Very little dynamic response, making it easy to maintain
strong volume levels.
If you’re using a drum trigger as an external pad, these
settings will produce reliable triggering.
