TRIGGERING PARAMETERS
The TRIG page of the Ext. Trig Menu contains some parameters
that affect the triggers' sensivity and function within the module.
1. Press EXT TRIG to enter the main Ext. Trig Menu page.
Press TRIG (F2).
2. Select the trigger whose parameters you want to edit by
pressing NOTE CHASE then striking the desired trigger.
Alternatively, you can highlight the trigger name at the top of
the screen using the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to
highlight it and use the VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or VALUE
DIAL to change it.
3. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu items
and VALUE UP / DOWN buttons or the VALUE DIAL to adjust
the settings:
• Xtalk Rcv * : How susceptible the trigger is to
"crosstalk" from other triggers (00-07). The higher the
value, the less likely crosstalk from other triggers will affect it.
• Xtalk Snd * : How likely the trigger will cause "crosstalk" in other triggers (00-07). The higher the
value, the less likely it will be a source of crosstalk on other triggers.
• Retrigger: How quickly the module processes repeated strikes of the same trigger (00-99). This
is the minimum amount of time needed between successive strikes of the same trigger for the
second one to produce a sound. (For instance, if your Retrigger setting is 50 and you strike the
trigger once, it will produce a sound if the next strike is at least 50 milliseconds later. Otherwise,
it will be silent.) (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages since it already affects both
zones of a drum pad or cymbal that "share" the same TRIGGER INPUT.)
• Threshold: How much velocity (force) is required for a Voice to sound (00-99). At lower settings,
very light strikes of the triggers will produce sounds. At higher settings, you will need to strike the
triggers harder to produce a sound. (Note: This parameter is only seen on certain pages since it
already affects both zones of a drum pad or cymbal that "share" the same TRIGGER INPUT.)
• ZoneXTalk: This setting adjusts how susceptible triggers on a "shared" input (e.g., the bell and
bow of a ride cymbal, or the head and rim of a the same drum pad) are to "crosstalk" from each
other. The higher the setting, the less likely these trigger pairs will cause each other to trigger
unintentionally. (Note: We recommend increasing this setting for drum pads on which you want
to produce "rimshots" by striking the head and rim simultaneously.)
4. When you have finished making your edits, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another
screen (e.g., DRUM KIT, UTILITY, etc. Your edits will remain for that session (i.e., until you turn off the
module).
* A note about crosstalk:
"Crosstalk" occurs when a trigger is struck and the vibration from that strike is also "read" as a strike by
an adjacent trigger. For instance, if you strike the snare drum hard enough, it is possible for the crash
cymbal to sense the vibration of your hit (especially if they are mounted on the same rack) and trigger as
well. This unintentional triggering can be reduced or elimintated by adjusting the DM10 module's
crosstalk ("Xtalk") settings.
• When you increase a trigger's "Xtalk Rcv" ("Crosstalk Receive") setting, you are making that
trigger less susceptible to crosstalk from other triggers' vibrations.
• When you increase a trigger's "Xtalk Snd" ("Crosstalk Send") setting, you are making that
trigger less likely to be interpreted by the module as a cause of crosstalk.
In a general sense, these two settings essentially do the same thing: reduce crosstalk. However, there
are cases where adjusting one is better than adjusting the other:
Example:
While playing, if you find the first tom is unintentionally triggering as you play heavily on the
snare drum, you should increase the first tom's "Xtalk Rcv" setting to reduce its sensitivity to
strikes on the snare drum (as well as other triggers).
On the other hand, if you find playing heavily on the snare drum is unintentionally causing
several
triggers to sound, you should increase the snare drum's "Xtalk Snd" setting so the
module interprets vibrations from the snare drum more strictly to reduce errant triggering on
the rest of the kit.
