Setting the trigger threshold

This feature becomes helpful if you find that, e.g. one of your tom pads triggers the other toms

as well or that the kick triggers the snare. You then need to adjust the trigger threshold.

1. Press

SYSTEM twice or repeatedly to select the THRES indicator on the SYSTEM INDICATOR bar.

2. Let‘s say that your toms are triggering your snare. You would need to raise the trigger thres-

hold of the snare channel. Select the snare channel for editing by pressing the

SNARE CHANNEL

button.

3. Adjust the threshold value of the snare with the ROTARY dial while playing the tom pads.

Adjust the value upward until the tom sounds no longer trigger the snare. The higher the

threshold value, the less chance of a weak trigger pulse triggering the channel. The default

value is 15.

The three things that we have done here, input setting, input sensitivity and trigger threshold

are very important to get the right feel when playing on the ddrum4. You might want to go

back and adjust these later but there is no need for doing this every time you want to play. The

system selections that you have made (trigger input selection and threshold) are automatically

stored in ddrum4 until you decide to change them.

There is another parameter called

DYN, which sets a dynamics curve to each input. Please go to

page 15 for more details on the dynamic response curves.
