Pad and Trigger Settings
Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ slightly depending on the characteristics of
each pad or acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup), you may notice that identical hits (velocity) may
produce sound at different volumes. If this occurs, you can adjust the “SCAN TIME” so that your way of
playing can be detected more precisely.
As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be played increases.

Scan Time:
0–4.0 ms (0.1 ms steps)
Making the settings
While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant force, gradually raise the Scan Time value from 0 msec,
until the resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting, try both soft and loud strikes, and
make sure that the volume changes appropriately.
The force with which you hit the pad (velocity) will be shown in the display on a six-level scale.
Set the velocity at a value of 127 when you strike the pad most forcefully.
