[. . . ] Roland percussion sound modules feature pre-programmed trigger settings for this purpose. Adjusting the trigger parameters based on these settings will provide the best performance from the RT-10 series. Stable Triggering Dynamics and Speed Accuracy A drum trigger's response is affected by many variables. These include the type of drum, the head and tuning, how it is muffled (or muted) and your playing style. Correct trigger parameter settings will guarantee good dynamic response and speed accuracy. Special Triggering Examples Triggering from acoustic drums is not only used in a "normal" full, dynamic sense, but sometimes triggers are used to trigger loops in samplers, or sounds or special effects where natural dynamics are not needed. · When triggering a loop or special effects, it is best to set the "threshold level" to a high value. This way, low velocity hits on the drum will not trigger that sound. · When triggering a sound that you always want to be at the same level, no matter how hard you play, set the "Trigger Curve" to "LOUD" 1. Set the tom and snare to the same Crosstalk Cancel Group. Set the Mount Type for the tom and snare to "PAD. " (Only TD-20 and TD-12) 3. Then adjust the Crosstalk Cancel value for the snare, by hitting the tom until the snare trigger no longer triggers the sound. ***** Hint or Tips ICON ****** * If the triggers are being affected by sounds from other drums without drum triggers or from speakers, adjust the "Threshold" (p.
