Adjusting the Drum Trigger’s Minimum
Sensitivity (Threshold)
Here’s how to make settings so that the trigger signal is
detected only when you strike the trigger with a certain
force or greater.
Preventing unwanted triggering from the
environment
In some cases, a drum trigger might respond to live
sound from acoustic drums or to sound from the
monitor speakers. Either raise the drum trigger’s
Threshold value, or make the following changes to
your setup.
5
Move the drum trigger farther away from the
speakers
5
Angle the drum trigger, and set it in a location that
is less affected by the sound
Since the TM-6 PRO is intended for use on stage, the
drum trigger’s Threshold value is set relatively high by
default. If you want to give priority to expression of
soft strikes, lower the Threshold value while staying
above the level at which unwanted triggering occurs.
1
In the TRIGGER SETUP screen (p. 14), select
“PARAM” and press the [ENTER] button.
2
Press the [F1] or [F2] (THRESHOLD/SENS)
button.
The TRIGGER THRESHOLD screen appears.

Parameter Explanation
Threshold
Increase this value if the drum trigger
is unwantedly triggered by ambient
vibration. If this value is too high, soft
strikes will not produce sound. You should
set this to the lowest value that will not
cause unintended triggering.
In the illustration, ‘B’ will trigger a sound,
but ‘A’ and ‘C’ will not.

Adjusting the Drum Trigger’s Sensitivity
(Sensitivity)
Here’s how to adjust the drum trigger’s sensitivity to specify
the balance between the force of your strike and the
loudness of the sound.
1
In the TRIGGER SETUP screen (p. 14), select
“PARAM” and press the [ENTER] button.
2
Press the [F1] or [F2] (THRESHOLD/SENS)
button.
3
Select the drum trigger that you want to
4
Use cursor buttons to select “Sensitivity,”
and use the [–] [+] buttons to adjust the
sensitivity.
5
Press the [EXIT] button several times to
return to the KIT screen.
Adjusting How Volume Responds to
Changes in Striking Force
Here’s how to adjust the way in which the volume changes
as you vary the force with which you strike the drum trigger.
1
In the TRIGGER SETUP screen (p. 14), select
“PARAM” and press the [ENTER] button.
2
Press the [F1] or [F2] (THRESHOLD/SENS)
button.
3
Select the drum trigger that you want to
4
Use cursor buttons to select “Curve,” and use
the [–] [+] buttons to specify the setting.
