Using the RMP-5 with Additional Pads

(Spline)

Variation in playing dynamics produces extreme changes.

fig.05-14_80

, (Loud 1, Loud 2)

Variation in playing dynamics produces little change, and a constant

volume is maintained. If using drum triggers, these settings help

maintain stable levels.

Scan Time

Since the rise time of the trigger signal waveform may differ slightly

depending on the characteristics of each pad or acoustic drum

trigger (drum pickup), you may notice that identical hits (velocity)

produce sound at different volumes.

If this occurs, you can adjust the Scan Time so that your playing

velocity can be detected more precisely.

As the value is set higher, the time it takes for the sound to be played

increases. Set this to as low a value as you can.

fig.05-16_80

Making the settings

While repeatedly hitting the pad at a constant strength,

gradually raise the Scan Time value from 0 msec, until the

resulting volume stabilizes at the loudest level. At this setting,

try both soft and loud strikes, and make sure that the volume

changes appropriately.

* When you strike the pad, the strength with which the pad is struck

(velocity) is shown in the display.

Set the value so that the needle appears at the far right when you strike

the pad with maximum velocity.

Retrigger Cancel

Altered waveforms may cause inadvertent sounding at Point A in

the following figure (This is called retrigger).

fig.05-18_80

This can occur at the decaying edge of the waveform. Retrigger Cancel

detects such distortion and basically eliminates retriggering. Although

setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, it then becomes easy

for sounds to be omitted when playing fast (buzz roll etc.).

Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring that there is

no retriggering.

* You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the Mask Time

setting. Mask Time does not detect trigger signals if they occur within

the specified amount of time after the previous trigger signal was

received. Retrigger Cancel detects the attenuation of the trigger signal

level, and triggers the sound after internally determining which trigger

signals were actually generated when the head was struck, while

weeding out the other false trigger signals that need not trigger a sound.

Making the settings

While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the Retrigger Cancel

value until retriggering no longer occurs.

Crosstalk Cancel

When two pads are mounted on the same stand, vibrations from one

pad may trigger the sound from the second pad unintentionally

(This is called crosstalk.)

To avoid this, adjust the Crosstalk Cancel on the pad that is

sounding inadvertently.

If the value is set too high, then when two pads are played

simultaneously, the one that is struck less forcefully will not sound.

Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum value required to

prevent such crosstalk. With a setting of “OFF,” crosstalk prevention

does not function.

* You can also prevent crosstalk between two pads by increasing the

distance between the pads or by raising the Threshold value.

You cannot prevent crosstalk from pads connected to another drum module.

Increase the distance between such pads, or raise the Threshold.

Making the settings

If you hit the pad connected to the EXT1, and the pad connected

to the EXT2 also sounds, then raise the Crosstalk Cancel value

from “OFF” for the pad connected to EXT2 while striking the

pad connected to EXT1 until crosstalk no longer occurs.
