Parameter Value Explanation
Type Ø
“PAD Type list” (p. 15)
Specify the pad type. You’ll need to make these settings if you expand the pads of your drum set or if you
connect pads of a different type.
* When you specify the PAD type, the parameters such as Threshold, ADVANCED (with the exception
of certain parameters such as XtlkCancel) are set to optimal values. These values are only general
guidelines; you can make fine adjustments as appropriate according to how you attach the pad and how
you use it.
Sens 1–32
Adjusts the balance (sensitivity) between pad striking strength and volume. Increasing this value increases
the sensitivity, so that even soft strikes on the pad are sounded at high volume. Decreasing this value
decreases the sensitivity, so that even strong strikes on the pad play softly.
Threshold 0–31
Adjusts the minimum sensitivity of the pad. This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when
the pad is above a determined force level (threshold). This can be used to prevent a pad from sounding
because of vibrations from other pads.
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.
XStickSens OFF, 1–10
Specifies the strength of the strike at which the cross-stick sound and the rim shot sound are switched.
Increasing this value causes the cross-stick sound to be heard even for a softer rim shot.
If this is “OFF”, the rim shot sound is heard even when you play a cross-stick strike.
* The cross-stick technique can only be used on pads that support rim shots.
