Detailed Settings for Trigger Parameters

Normally, you will not need to edit these settings, since they are automatically set to the appropriate values for the pad when you specify
the pad type. You can edit these parameters if the pad does not respond as you wish.
1. In the "Pad Settings" screen, press the SEL [
button a number of times to choose "Advanced
Edit," and press the [OK] button.
The "Pad Advanced" screen appears.
Display/Parameter
fig.Threshold.eps
In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.
When set to a higher value, no sound is produced when the pad is struck lightly. Gradually
raise the "Threshold" value while striking the pad.
Check this and adjust accordingly. Repeat this process until you get the perfect setting for
your playing style.
LINEAR
The standard setting. This produces the most natural correspon-
dence between playing dynamics and volume change.

Value Explanation
Specifies whether program change messages will be
transmitted to an external MIDI device (ON) or not trans-
mitted (OFF).
With the "ON" setting, a program number correspond-
OFF, ON
ing to the selected drum kit will be transmitted when
you switch drum kits on the TD-4.
* The program number for each drum kit is the same

parameter that you want to edit.
3. Use the [-/+] dial to edit the value.
4. Press the [OK] button to return to the "MENU"
screen.
Explanation
This setting allows a trigger signal to be received only when the pad
is above a determined dynamic level (velocity). This can be used to
prevent a pad from sounding because of vibrations from other pads.
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing ve-
locity (striking force) and changes in volume. Adjust this curve until
the response feels as natural as possible.
EXP1, EXP2
Compared to LINEAR, strong dynamics produce a greater change.
