Trigger Settings (TRIG)
Basic Procedure for Trigger Settings
Here’s how to make trigger settings so that the signals
from the drum triggers can be accurately processed by the
TM-6 PRO.
Reference
For details on the parameters that can be edited, refer to
“Data List” (PDF).
1 Press the [TRIG] button.
The TRIGGER SETUP screen appears.
2 Use cursor buttons to select the menu item
for the settings that you want to make, and
then press the [ENTER] button.
Menu Explanation
BANK
Specify the type of each drum
trigger. These settings can be
collectively saved in a trigger bank.
PARAM
Specify settings such as the drum
trigger’s minimum sensitivity
(Threshold) (p. 16).
HI-HAT Make hi-hat settings (p. 17).
XTALK
Prevent unintended triggering
caused by the vibration of another
drum trigger (crosstalk cancel).
MONITOR
View the trigger response and
history of each drum trigger.
LOCK Make trigger lock settings (p. 15).
3 Edit the settings of the menu that you
selected.
4 Press the [EXIT] button several times to
return to the KIT screen.
Specifying the Drum Trigger Type
You can specify the type of drum trigger (trigger type) used
by each trigger input of the trigger bank.
1 Press the [TRIG] button.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select “BANK,” and
then press the [ENTER] button.
The TRIGGER BANK screen appears.
Trigger bank number, name
Trigger type
(head)
Trigger type (rim)
Trigger input number, Input type
H&R
When connecting one drum trigger to one
TRIGGER IN jack (normal setting)
The head and the rim share the same trigger
type. Also, the trigger type is shown as “ ”
for the rim.
PADx2
When connecting two drum triggers to one
TRIGGER IN jack (p. 11)
Specify the trigger type for the head and for
the rim.
Button Explanation
[F2] (THRESHOLD)
button
Moves to a screen for adjusting
the drum trigger’s minimum
sensitivity (p. 16).
[F3] (NAME) button
Edits the name of the trigger
bank.
3 Move the cursor to the trigger bank number,
and use the [–] [+] button to select a trigger
bank.
Trigger type
The trigger type is a collection of various trigger
parameters, adjusted to values that are appropriate for
each drum trigger. To obtain the optimal settings for the
drum trigger used with each trigger input, specify the
model (trigger type) of drum trigger that’s connected.
* When you change the trigger type, related parameters such as Threshold and Sensitivity (except for crosstalk cancel)
change their value appropriately for the trigger type.
* “BT-1 SENS” is a trigger type that allows you to enhance the sensitivity with respect to weaker strikes when using a
BT-1. However, with this type there is a greater likelihood that false triggering will occur as the result of surrounding
vibrations. For this reason, “BT-1” should be selected when performing phrase playback and the like.
However, if two drum triggers are connected to one TRIGGER IN jack, you should select “BT1 SENS.” The triggers will not
work correctly with the “BT-1” setting.
* “PAD1,” “PAD2,” and “PAD3” are for generic pads.
Trigger bank
A trigger bank contains an entire set of settings for six
triggers. You can create eight trigger banks.
