The “CHOKE” icon appears when the cymbal is
choked.
The CHOKE icon appears when you use the choke
technique on a pad that supports choking.
Eliminate Crosstalk Between Pads
(Crosstalk Cancellation)
If two pads are attached to the same stand, the vibration
from one struck pad may cause the other pad to sound
without your intention. This is called “crosstalk.” Crosstalk
cancellation is a setting that prevents this type of crosstalk.
* When the TD-27 is shipped from the factory, it is set for
optimal operation with the separately sold drum stand
(MDS-Standard 2 or DCS-10/DBS-10), so you will not
normally need to change the settings.
Cases in which crosstalk cancellation settings
are needed
5
When using a pad configuration not found in the trigger
5
When using a drum stand other than the drum stand
(MDS-Standard 2 or DCS-10/DBS-10).
5
When using a drum trigger (sold separately).
Before you make crosstalk cancellation
settings
You can prevent crosstalk by positioning the pads in a way
that minimizes their susceptibility to an external source of
vibration. Please note the following points when setting up
your system.
5
Don’t place pads in contact with each other.
5
If attaching multiple pads to the same stand, increase
the distance between them.
5
Firmly tighten the knobs that fasten the pad to ensure
that the pad is securely attached to the stand.
* In some cases, the acoustic sound from an acoustic
drum or from a monitor speaker might cause a pad
to be triggered. In such cases, adjusting the crosstalk
cancelation settings will not solve the problem. Pay
attention to the following considerations when setting up
your equipment.
5
Set up the pads at a distance from the speakers
5
Angle the pads, placing them where they are less likely
to be affected by the sound
5
Increase the Threshold value of the pad (refer to “Data
List” (PDF)).

Strike the tom 1 (T1) pad.
The crosstalk detection status is shown in the TRIGGER
XTALK MONITOR screen.
The illustration below indicates that tom 2 (T2) and crash
1 (C1) detected vibration when tom 1 (T1) was struck.
A “
H
” symbol is shown for pads that are experiencing
crosstalk.
Crosstalk occurring
Pads detecting
vibration
Explanation
Tom 2 (T2)
Will not sound, because crosstalk
cancellation is active.
Crash 1 (C1)
Crosstalk is occurring.
By adjusting the crosstalk cancellation value,
you can prevent the sound from being
triggered.
5
Press the [F4] (FOCUS) button to move the
cursor to C1.
If crosstalk is occurring for multiple pads, each press of
the [F4] (FOCUS) button will move the cursor to another
pad that is experiencing crosstalk.
