Button Operation and Displays

Overview

fig.00-007_70

The [CURSOR] (TRIG) buttons can be used to select the pad/
trigger input to be edited without needing to hit a pad.

• Holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [CURSOR (left)]:

The next lower-numbered trigger will be selected.

• Holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [CURSOR (right)]:

The next higher-numbered trigger will be selected.

If you are using a rim-capable pad, [RIM] selects whether the
settings being made are for the head or the rim. When [RIM] is
lit, it indicates that the rim is selected.

Holding down [SHIFT] as you press [RIM] locks the pad
(trigger) being set, so that the pad being set is not switched
even if another pad is touched. [RIM] flashes when a pad is
locked. To cancel the lock, hold down [SHIFT] and press
[RIM] once again.

* You can switch between the head and rim of the pad being set,

even when [RIM] is flashing, by holding down [SHIFT] and
pressing [CURSOR (left/right)].

By using these functions together with [PREVIEW], you can
edit the TD-12 only.

Checking the Tone While Changing the
Velocity

You can toggle between three velocity (volume) levels by
holding down [KIT] and pressing [PREVIEW].

Set the three velocity levels by pressing [SETUP] - F3
(CONTROL)] - [F2 (PREVIEW)] (p. 77).

Position and Rim Shot Nuance and
Confirming the Closed Hi-Hat Tone
