Adjusting the input sensitivity

1. Choose the TRIG INPUT option from the SYSTEM menu by pressing the SYSTEM button until the

TRIG INPUT indicator lights up in the INDICATOR bar and select the channel you want to adjust. Hit

the pad (not the channel button) and look at the

TRIGGER LED, located above (the selected)

channel button. It will dim briefly when the channel receives a trigger. In this System mode,

the

SYSTEM INDICATOR bar will indicate the trigger level.

KICK

2. Adjust the trigger level with the INPUT SENSITIVITY knobs. Turning clockwise will make the

trigger input more sensitive.

Kick

3. You should adjust the INPUT SENSITIVITY knob so that the top LED on the SYSTEM INDICATOR bar

lights up only during the hardest hits.

The sensitivity settings are crucial to the general feel and sound of your ddrum4 system.

Dynamics is what it’s all about. Take your time and adjust the sensitivity to your playing style.

Do this on a good sound system if you can, in order to really hear what’s going on. Do not use

the

INPUT SENSITIVITY knobs as a volume control. Controlling the dynamic range and controlling

the volume of the ddrum4 is two completely different things. The

INPUT SENSITIVITY knob set-

tings are not stored in the ddrum4s memory.
