Adjusting the Sensitivity of Individual Pads
Because the following settings are automatically set to the appropriate
values for each pad when you specify the trigger type (p. 49), there
is normally no need for you to edit them.
You can edit these settings if you want to make finer adjustments, or if
you want to use an acoustic drum trigger.
1 . Press the [TRIGGER] button.
2 . Press the PAGE [UP] button several times to display the
topmost page.
3 . Press the [F3] (SENS) button.
The TRIGGER SENS screen appears.

the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to edit the value.
Parameter Value Explanation
Sensitivity 1.0–32.0
You can adjust the sensitivity of
the pads to accommodate your
personal playing style.
Increasing this value increases
the sensitivity, so that even soft
strikes on the pad are sounded
at high volume. Decreasing this
value decreases the sensitivity,
so that even strong strikes on
the pad are sounded at low
volume.
Rim Gain 0–3.2
Adjusts the balance between
the force of striking the rim or
edge and the loudness of the
sound.
If you increase this value, even
soft strikes on the rim are
sounded at high volume. If
you decrease this value, even
strong strikes on the rim are
sounded at low volume.
This is available for pads that
support rim shots.
Parameter Value Explanation
Global Sens
LOW, NORMAL,
HIGH
Adjusts the sensitivity of all
pads as a whole for the entire
drum kit. For a broader range of
dynamic control, select “LOW.”
To play with a light touch,
select “HIGH.”
This setting is enabled for each
trigger bank.
MEMO
5 To return to the default values, press the [F5] (DEFAULT) button.
Trigger parameters (with the exception of certain parameters such
as crosstalk cancellation) are set to the default value.
For details, refer to “Data List” (PDF).
5 Velocity is displayed with a maximum of 127 for pads that are
connected to a TRIGGER IN port, or with a maximum of 127+32
(when MIDI CONTROL HI-Reso Velocity is “ON”) for pads that
support HI-Reso Velocity and are digitally connected to a DIGITAL
TRIGGER IN port. For details, refer to “Data List” (PDF).
Making Hi-Hat Settings
If you are using a V hi-hat, adjust the offset on the TD-50X.
This is necessary in order to correctly detect open/close operations
and pedal movement.
Reference
5 For details on how to adjust the offset, refer to “Making Hi-Hat
Settings” (p. 13).
5 Make detailed adjustments to the parameters as necessary. For
details, refer to “Data List” (PDF).
Making Detailed Trigger Settings
Because the following settings are automatically set to the appropriate
values for each pad when you specify the trigger type (p. 49), there
is normally no need for you to edit them.
You only need to make these settings when you want finer control
over the detailed pad sensitivity settings, signal detection, strike point
detection and so on.
