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 unit is shipped from the factory, it is set for optimal
operation with the separately sold drum stand (MDS series, DCS
series, or DBS series), so you will not normally need to change the
settings. Crosstalk cancellation needs to be set in the following
cases:
– When using a pad configuration not found in the trigger bank
(p. 49) settings
– When using a drum stand other than the drum stand sold
separately for this unit (MDS, DCS or DBS Series)
– When using a drum trigger (sold separately).
* 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.
– Set up the pads at a distance from the speakers
– Angle the pads, placing them where they are less likely to be
affected by the sound
– Increase the Threshold value of the pad

Tips on configuring the pads
You can prevent crosstalk by positioning the pads in a way that
minimizes their susceptibility to an external source of vibration.
Before you make crosstalk cancellation settings, pay attention
to the following considerations when setting up your
equipment.
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.
Example) Crash 1 is triggered when you strike the
Tom 1 pad
1 . Press the [TRIGGER] button.
2 . Press the PAGE [DOWN] button to display page 3 (TRIG
MONITOR).
3 . Press the [F2] (XTALK) button.
The TRIGGER XTALK MONITOR screen appears.

4 . 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.

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 [F3] (FOCUS) button to move the cursor to C1.
If crosstalk is occurring for multiple pads, each press of the [F3]
(FOCUS) button will move the cursor to another pad that is
experiencing crosstalk.
