Eliminate Crosstalk Between Pads
(Crosstalk Cancellation) (XTALK)
If two pads are attached to the same stand, the vibration
from one struck pad may cause the other pad to sound
without your intention. This is called “crosstalk.” Crosstalk
cancellation is a setting that prevents this type of
crosstalk.
* When the TD-30 is shipped from the factory, it is set
for optimal operation with the separately sold drum
stand (MDS-25 or MDS-12V), so you will not normally
need to change the settings.
You’ll need to make crosstalk cancellation settings in
the following cases.
• When using a pad conguration not found in the
trigger bank settings (p. 126)
• When using a drum stand other than the
separately sold drum stand (MDS-25 or MDS-12V)
• When using a drum trigger (separately sold)
* Sound from an acoustic drum or from a monitor
speaker may cause a pad to be triggered. In this
case, crosstalk cancellation settings will not solve the
problem.
Set up your system in a location where it is less likely
to be aected by sound; for example, try moving the
pad away from the speaker, or positioning the pad at
an angle.
Tips for positioning the pads
You can prevent crosstalk by positioning the pads
in a way that minimizes their susceptibility to an
external source of vibration.
Before you adjust the crosstalk cancellation
settings, please note the following points when
setting up your system.
• Don’t place pads in contact with each other.
• If attaching two pads to the same stand,
increase the distance between them.
• Firmly tighten the knobs that fasten the pad to
ensure that the pad is securely attached to the
stand.
Example setup: Crash 1 is triggered
when you strike the Tom 1 pad
1. In the TRIGGER MONITOR screen, press the [F2]
(XTALK) button.
The TRIGGER XTALK MONITOR screen will appear.
Pads
Crosstalk cancellation settings
2. Strike the tom 1 (T1) pad.
The crosstalk detection status is shown in the TRIGGER
XTALK MONITOR screen.
The illustration below indicates that tom 2 (T2) and crash
1 (C1) detected vibration when tom 1 (T1) was struck.
A “
” symbol is shown for pads that are experiencing
crosstalk.
Crosstalk occurring
Pads detecting vibration Explanation
Tom 2 (T2)
Will not sound, because crosstalk
cancellation is active.
Crash 1 (C1)
Crosstalk is occurring.
By adjusting the crosstalk cancel-
lation value, you can prevent the
sound from being triggered.
3. Press the [F4] (FOCUS) button to move the cursor
to C1.
If crosstalk is occurring for multiple pads, each press of
the [F4] (FOCUS) button will move the cursor to another
pad that is experiencing crosstalk.
