Trigger Settings
Here’s how to make trigger settings so that the signals from the pads
can be accurately processed by the TD-50X.
Specifying the Pad Type
You can specify the type of pad (trigger type) used by the trigger bank
for each trigger input.
Trigger type
The trigger type is a collection of various trigger parameters,
adjusted to values that are appropriate for each pad. In order to
make the optimal settings for the pad that’s being used for each
trigger input, specify the model (type) of pad that’s connected.
Trigger bank
A trigger bank contains an entire set of settings for 14 triggers.
1 . Press the [TRIGGER] button.
2 . Press the PAGE [UP] button several times to display the
topmost page.
3 . Press the [F1] (BANK) button.
The TRIGGER BANK screen appears.

MEMO
You can adjust the overall pad sensitivity for each trigger bank
(p. 50).
5 . Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to specify the trigger
type.
* You can’t change the trigger type of a trigger input that’s assigned
to a pad that supports a digital connection.
MEMO
When you specify the trigger type, the trigger parameters (with the
exception of certain parameters such as crosstalk cancellation) are
set to optimal values. These values are only general guidelines; you
can make fine adjustments as appropriate according to how you
attach the pad and how you use it.
For details, refer to “Data List” (PDF).
Making Settings for Digitally-Connected Pads
The first time that you connect a pad that supports digital connection
to a DIGITAL TRIGGER IN port, you’ll follow the screens that appear,
and specify the trigger input to which the connected pad is assigned
(p. 12).
The following explains how to change the assigned destinations
(assignments) after you make the settings.
* If you assign the same trigger input used by a pad connected to a
TRIGGER IN jack, the pad that’s connected to that TRIGGER IN jack
does not output sound.
* When you execute a factory reset, the connection history and
settings of digitally-connected pads are initialized.
1 . Press the [TRIGGER] button.
2 . Press the PAGE [UP] button to display page 1 (TRIG
BASIC).
3 . Press the [F2] (DIGITAL) button.
The DIGITAL TRIGGER IN screen appears.
Connected pad Assignment
4 . Use the cursor buttons to select the pad that you want
to specify, and use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to
specify the assignment.
You can also select a pad by striking it.
If you don’t want to assign the pad to any trigger input, choose “N/A.”
* You can’t specify multiple instances of the same assignment.
