PadType

Gain
Use this parameter to set the level of gain (or amplification) that
is applied to the input signal from the selected pad before it is
converted into a trigger signal. With a high setting, all input sig-
nals above a certain level will be amplified to the same level (i.e.,
the maximum level). This means that variation in the softness or
hardness with which the pad is struck can be smoothed out.
Meanwhile, when a low setting is used, the softness or hardness
of playing will be reflected to a much greater degree in the output
trigger signal, allowing for more expressive performances.
Settings: 1 to 64
RejectTime
Use this parameter to specify the time period after a pad is struck
during which a second input signal will be ignored. The larger the
value set here, the longer the period during which a second sound
will not be produced.
Settings: 4ms to 500ms
NOTE
• In the following special case, a second sound will be produced
during the reject time.
The struck pad has a type (as set on this, the Menu area’s
Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page) that does not start with “DT”,
and in addition, the trigger level of the second strike within
the reject time is at least twice as strong as that of the first.

Tip: Pad types
In order to ensure that you get the best sound from each and
every pad, we have prepared a full range of optimized trigger
parameters (i.e., various values related to pad input signals and
the like), and named them accordingly. These groupings of
parameters are referred to as “pad types”. Given that pads come
in many different varieties, such as snares, toms, cymbals, and
kick drums, it follows that pad characteristics vary widely. The
DTX700 comes preloaded with pad types for each different set
of characteristics, allowing you to use them to their maximum
potential.
