Chapter 5 Settings for the Entire HPD-15
Chapter 5
Using the External Pads/Kick Trigger Unit to Trigger a Sound
You can connect two external pads (PD-7, PD-9, PD-80, PD-80R, PD-100, or PD-120; optional) or kick trigger units (KD-7, KD-80,
or KD-120; optional) to the TRIGGER INPUT jack with the special cable (PCS-31, optional). See p. 11.
Settings for the External Pads / Kick Trigger Unit
fig.5-09.e
When you connect two pads with the PCS-31, the white plug
of the PCS-31 is the TRIG 1, and the red one is the TRIG 2.
To use the external pad for rim shots, connect with the PCS-
33. In this case, it is not possible to use two external pads.
When using a pad made by another manufacturer, first select
“PD-7” and try playing the pad. If, with this setting, the pad
striking force does not produce a stable volume, try a setting
of “P-1.” A setting of “P-2” will be even more stable, but the
interval from when the pad is struck until the sound is heard
will be slightly (approximately 0.003 seconds) longer.
(For a kick, select “KD-7,” and if the result is not stable, try
“K-1” or “K-2.”)
If you wish to make even more detailed settings, refer to the
explanation in the following section “More Detailed Settings
for the External Pads/Kick Trigger Units.” Normally you
don’t need to adjust these parameters, but you may use them
if you wish to make more accurate settings for your playing
style.
