Trigger settings
You’ll need to make trigger settings when using the aD5 for the first time or after you’ve changed the types of pads. This allows the data from the pad sensors to be processed correctly so that the aD5’s performance capabilities can be fully utilized.
You must set the following three items.
<1> Crosstalk cancel
<2> Trigger setting for
<3> Hi-hat control pedal
This prevents the “crosstalk” that can occur when the impact of striking a pad reaches another pad, unintentionally triggering it.
Complete this setting simply by striking each pad as instructed by the crosstalk cancel wizard.
These settings specify the response of each of your pads to ensure that the sound accurately reflects the output of the pad sensor.
Simply select the model name of each pad, and the typical response is specified.
Make adjustments so that the hi-hat control pedal operates correctly.
