EN Internal Design of the PB44 In this reference section, you will find a description of what takes place within the PB44 between striking of a pad and the output of sound from speakers. Understanding how signals flow and are processed internally will allow you to utilize the powerful functions of this versatile instrument to their maximum potential. Two- and three-zone pads (producing multiple trigger signals) In contrast to the PCY65 Single Zone Cymbal Pad and other mono pads, multi-zone pads such as the PCY65S Double Zone Cymbal Pad can produce two different types of trigger signal depending on the zone that is struck, while the PCY135 Triple Zone Cymbal Pad can produce three.

If consistent, reliable trigger signals cannot be produced using an acoustic drum, try the following. · Ensure that you are using a high-quality drum trigger such as the DT20, and that it is secured firmly in place using adhesive tape. (Remember to also remove any old tape. ) · Carry out the checks listed above in the section "No sound is produced when a pad is struck, or the volume is lower than expected. " . · Ensure that the signal cable is securely plugged into the jack on the DT20 or other drum trigger.
