Trigger Settings (TRIG)
Eliminate Crosstalk Between Drum Triggers
(Crosstalk Cancellation)
If two drum triggers are attached to the same stand, the
vibration from one struck drum trigger may cause the other
drum trigger to sound without your intention. This is called
“crosstalk.” Crosstalk cancellation is a setting that prevents
this type of crosstalk.
* In some cases, the acoustic sound from an acoustic drum
or from a monitor speaker might cause a drum trigger
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.
5 Set up the drum triggers at a distance from the
speakers
5 Angle the drum triggers, placing them where they are
less likely to be affected by the sound
5 Increase the Threshold value of the drum trigger
(p. 16)
Tips for positioning the drum triggers
You can prevent crosstalk by positioning the drum
triggers in a way that minimizes their susceptibility to
an external source of vibration.
Before you adjust the crosstalk cancellation settings,
please note the following points when setting up your
system.
5 Don’t place drum triggers in contact with each
other.
5 If attaching multiple drum triggers to the same
stand,increase the distance between them.
5 Firmly tighten the knobs that fasten the drum
trigger to ensure that the drum trigger is securely
attached to the stand.
Example) If the sound of trigger input 2 is
heard when you strike the drum trigger of
trigger input 1
1 In the TRIGGER SETUP screen (p. 14), select
“XTALK” and press the [ENTER] button.
The XTALK MONITOR screen appears.

2 Strike the drum trigger of trigger input 1.
The crosstalk detection status is shown in the XTALK
MONITOR screen.
The illustration below shows that when you struck
the drum trigger of trigger input 1 (TRIG 1), the drum
triggers of trigger input 2 (TRIG 2) and trigger input 3
(TRIG 3) detected the vibration.
A “
H ” symbol is shown for drum triggers that are
experiencing crosstalk.

Explanation
Trigger input 2
(TRIG 2)
Crosstalk is occurring.
By adjusting the crosstalk
cancellation value, you can
prevent the sound from being
triggered.
Trigger input 3
(TRIG 3)
Will not sound, because
crosstalk cancellation is active.
3 Press the [F2] (FOCUS) button to move the
cursor to TRIG 2.
If crosstalk is occurring for multiple drum triggers, each
press of the [F2] (FOCUS) button will move the cursor to
another drum trigger that is experiencing crosstalk.
