Playing the Pads
This section introduces various performance functions that will help
you perform more expressively on the pads. Similar to an acoustic
drum kit, the digital drum responds differently to various playing
techniques and dynamics. All the pads are velocity sensitive. And
some voices change timbre depending on the striking force.
Pad
Only the snare drum can detect both head and rim shot.
Head
Hit only the head of the pad.
Rim Shot
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously. Or you can
only strike the rim of the pad.
Cymbal
Cymbal Bow shot
Playing the bow area of the cymbal.
Choke Play
Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat don't
have the cymbal choke.
Choking the crash/ride edge with the hand immediately after hitting
the crash/ride mutes the crash/ride sound.
Hi-Hat
Hi-Hat Pedal Change
With different positions the pedal pressed down, the voice of pad
varied while you are striking the Hi-Hat pad. And this is similar to an
acoustic drum.
Open Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the pedal.
Closed Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed completely down.
Hi-Hat Pedal
Press the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a foot-close sound
without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
Splash
Playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and then instantly
opening it.

This mode contains two parts: the drum pad trigger settings and drum
module settings.
The Drum Pad Trigger Settings
As a professional drummer, you may be very pleased to set your drum
triggers carefully corresponding to your playing habits and feelings,
making your performance more interesting and professional. At the
meantime, your digital drum will be more operability.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button, the LCD will display the UTILITY menu.
2. Press the [PAGE +] / [PAGE -] button; select the trigger parameters
that you want to edit.

Description
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing habit.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad to producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Adjust the sensitivity of rim shot.
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad is above a
determined dynamic level (velocity). This can be used to prevent a pad from
sounding because of vibrations from other pads.
For example, B will sound but A and C will not sound. When set to a higher
value, no sound is produced when the pad is struck lightly. Gradually raise
the “Threshold” value while striking the pad. Check this and adjust accordingly.
Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for your playing style.
This setting avoids “crosstalk”, which means that when you play one pad you can hear a sound coming
from another pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the same stand.
For example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also sounds.
While striking the snare pad, gradually increase the “XTALK” value for the tom 1 pad until the tom 1 pad
no longer sounds when you hit the snare pad. If you raise the “XTALK” higher, the tom 1 pad will be less
prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.
Note: If the value is set too high, and two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is struck less
forcefully may not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to prevent
crosstalk.
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and changes in
volume. Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as possible. Refer to the CURVE
description.
This setting avoids “re-triggering”, which means that when you strike a pad once, maybe you can hear
two hits coming from one strike. This can happen as the pad oscillate.
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel” value until re-triggering nolonger occurs.
Although setting this to a high value prevents re-triggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be
omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring
that there is no re-triggering.
Adjust the position of Hi-Hat close.
If you set the parameter as “0”, it means a low Hi-Hat close position; you need to step the pedal almost
down tightly.
