Chapter 7 Changing the Setup (Overall Environment)

RetrigCancel
(Retrigger
Cancel)

1–16

When you hit a snare drum equipped with an acoustic drum trigger, a sound may be
improperly produced (retriggered) at point A in the following diagram as well, be-
cause the waveform is erratic.

This phenomenon is most likely to appear near the point where a waveform fades
away. RetrigCancel detects disorder in the waveform to prevent the retriggering phe-
nomenon.
As the value increases, a sound is less likely to be retriggered but some sounds are
more likely to fail to be produced when you repeatedly hit a drum quickly. Checking
that the sound is not retriggered, specify the smallest possible value.

Configuration of the Mask Time (described below) can also prevent double
reproduction of a sound like this. Mask Time is for ignoring a second trigger
signal within the time defined after reception of the first trigger signal, whereas
RetrigCancel is for detecting attenuation in trigger signal level to determine
whether a trigger signal is something that has been generated with a proper
strike, or is something to be ignored.

Setting the value

While hitting the pad or the like, raise the RetrigCancel value until the retriggering
phenomenon no longer occurs.

Mask Time

0–64 (in steps of 4 ms),
96, 128, 256 ms

A second contact of the beater just after producing a sound, especially with a kick
pad, may cause double triggering. Mask Time functions in preventing this phenom-
enon. A second trigger signal generated within the specified time (from 0 to 256 ms)
is ignored.
As the value increases, some sounds are more likely to fail to be produced when you
quickly and repeatedly strike a kick pad. Specify the smallest possible value.

If you hear a sound twice though you have hit a pad or the like only once, adjust
RetrigCancel as described above.

Setting the value

While sounding the kick pad, raise the Mask Time value until bouncing (sound
production caused by a bounce of the beater) no longer occurs.
