Making the Settings for Pads

About Settings of Pads

If the digital drum is not yet in UTILITY menu, press the
[UTILITY] button to enter it.

The UTILITY indicator will light up. You can use the [ - ] or [ + ]
buttons to adjust parameters (as shown to the right ) for each
pad as well as the rim sensitivity of the pad and the splash
sensitivity of the Hi-Hat control pedal.

indicator will light up to show which pad is currently selected. If
the rim of a pad is selected, both the PAD indicator and the
RIM indicator will turn on.

Sensitivity:

Adjust the sensitivity of the pad to regulate the pad
response. Higher settings result in higher sensitivity, so that the
pad will produce a loud volume even when struck softly. You

can also adjust the sensitivity of the splash in SPLASH
SENSITIVITY.

Threshold:

This setting allows a trigger signal to be received
only when the pad is struck harder than a specified force. This
can be used to prevent a pad from sounding in response to
extraneous vibrations from another pad.

Crosstalk:

When two pads are mounted on the same stand, the
vibration produced by hitting one pad may trigger the sound
from another pad unintentionally (This is called crosstalk). You
can avoid this problem by adjusting Crosstalk Cancel on the
pad that is sounding inadvertently. If the value is set too high,
then when two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is
struck less forcefully will not sound. So be careful and set this
parameter to the minimum value required to prevent such
crosstalk. With a setting of 0 , crosstalk prevention does not
function.

Curve: This setting allows you to control the relation between

the velocity (striking force) and changes in volume (the dynamic
curve). Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as
possible.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard that allows performance data and other information to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and computers. With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI connectors
equipped device, you can play multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple instruments perform in
ensemble, program the settings to change kits automatically to match the performance as the song progress, and
more.

USB Connection

The USB connector allows you to connect the digital drum directly to your computer. It can be connected without
installing a driver in Windows XP/Vista/Win7 or MAC OSX environments. The digital drum will be recognized as a
“USB Audio device” to receive and transmit MIDI messages through a single USB cable. The USB port is used
only for MIDI messages (MIDI via USB)

This terminal receives MIDI data from an external

Song playback data and metronome notes are not transmitted.

Recording Your Performance to an External Sequencer

Connect the MIDI OUT of the digital drum to the MIDI IN of your sequencer, and the MIDI OUT of your
sequencer to the MIDI IN of the digital drum. If you are using a software sequencer on a computer, you can
simply connect the USB port of the digital drum to a USB port of your computer using a single USB A-B
cable.
Setup the active track of your sequencer on Channel 10. Activate RECORD on your sequencer.

Using the Digital Drum as a Sound Module

Connecting an external keyboard or sequencer to the MIDI Input allows you to use the digital drum as a multi-part,
polyphonic sound module to play various instrument parts in addition to your drums (for instance, Piano on
Channel 1, Bass on Channel 2, Strings on Channel 3, etc). The voices on each MIDI channel are selected using
MIDI Program Change messages (refer to GM Backing Instrument List ).

The MIDI system in the digital drum has 16 reception channels numbered from 1-16. Each of the channels is
responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an external device, the active channel
is determined by the control message. Channel 10 is reserved for Drums. The digital drum has two options for
Channel 10: GM ON or OFF, as selected in MIDI UTILITY menu.

When GM Mode is ON,Channel 10 will play the GM percussion kits.
When GM Mode is OFF, Channel 10 will play the digital drum internal kits.

Note:

For more information on received MIDI messages, refer to MIDI implementation chart.
