EXIERNAL 7 RIOOER. 5EI-UP QUIGK OUIDE The D4 has twelve trigger inputs designed to accommodate the most widely used drum pads and other triggering sources. It's mechanism is an advanced triggering signal to midi converter which incorporates five user controllable parameters. Trigger parameters are independent for each of the twelve inputs, and the set up is global for all drumsets. The five types of user controlled parameters are: 1. VCURVE. There are eight separate curve tables, 0 through 7

several triggering. Most of the trigger manufacturers supply also pieces of mounting tape with their trigger products. It is very important to be certain that no part of the trigger wire, jack, which connects the trigger to the audio is touching or resting on any part of the drum or rim. This wire is sensitive enough to trigger signals from the drum vibrations which would then cause double triggering. Trigger Placement Placement is another very important part of triggering performance, but un
