Trigger Settings

The drum module also lets you customize the settings of each trigger (drum pad or cymbal

pad). You can change its parameters, letting you customize your kit to your playing style.

These settings are “global” and therefore apply to all kits. DM10 MKII Pro has a set of preset

trigger settings and 5 user adjustable trigger settings.

To edit your trigger setting:

1. Press Trigger to enter the trigger interface page.

2. Hit the pad whose voice you want to edit. The pad’s name will appear at the top of the

display. Alternatively, use the Down or Up buttons to select the pad’s name at the top of

the display, and then use the dial to change it.

3. The display will show the current trigger and its parameters. On this page:

• To select a parameter that you want to edit, use the Down and Up buttons (not all

parameters are available for all pads):

o Threshold: The amount of force required to trigger the sound.

o Head Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the head (center) of a drum pad. Higher

values let you produce louder sounds with less force. Lower values require more

force to produce quieter sounds.

o Rim Sens: The sensitivity of the rim of a drum pad. Higher values let you

produce louder sounds with less force. Lower values require more force to

produce quieter sounds.

o X-Stick Level: The amount of cross-stick produced when the rim is struck.

Higher values increase the probability that the cross-stick sound will play when

the rim is hit. When set to 0, only the rimshot sound will play when the rim is hit.

o Head-Rim Adj: The amount of crosstalk reduction between the head (center)

and rim of a drum pad. Higher values reduce the probability that the pad’s rim

sound will be triggered when you play its head only and vice versa (due to the

force being transferred through the pad). Don’t set this value too high, though! If

this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its sound if you intentionally

play both the head and rim at the same time; it may be silenced because the

module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.

o Curve: The velocity curve of the pad. This controls the relationship between the

amount of playing force and the volume level of the pad’s sound.

o X-Talk: The amount of crosstalk reduction. Higher values reduce the probability

that the pad’s sound will be triggered when you play another pad (due to the

force being transferred through a rack, through the floor, etc.). Don’t set this

value too high, though! If this value is too high, you may not be able to trigger its

sound if you play another pad at the same time; it may be silenced because the

module incorrectly interprets the hit as crosstalk.

o Retrig Cancel: The required amount of time between successive hits of the pad

to produce the sound for both hits. If the value is too low, you may hear multiple

hits (or “flams”) occur after striking the trigger once. If the value is too high, you

may hear missed notes when playing faster or rolling.

• To edit the parameter’s setting or value, use the dial.

4. To save your changes, press F3-Save. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when you

power off the drum module. See below to learn how to do this.

USB Drive

You can use the drum module with a USB flash drive save and load your data. Your USB flash

drive can have a capacity of 4–64 GB, and it must use a FAT32 file system to work properly

with the drum module.

IMPORTANT: We recommend plugging your USB flash drive into the module before loading

any files to it. This will create new folders to store Kits, Songs, Triggers, and Voices. When

adding files, make sure they are placed in the correct folder so they can be recognized by the

module. For instance, place WAV files in the Voice folder when loading your own samples.

Load

You can load four types of data from a USB flash drive—Kits, Songs, Triggers, and Voices.
