for PDX-8 Owners
Set the trigger type and trigger parameters for the percussion sound module you are using.
Be sure to make these settings to ensure that the PDX-8 performs properly.
Below you will find the settings recommended for different percussion sound modules.
For instructions on setting the trigger parameters, refer to the Owner's Manual for your percussion
sound module.
* Leave the initial Cross Stick Cancel settings for each module unchanged.
About the Head Tension
Tighten the head so that the tension is rather firm.
Looseness in the head tension may result in problems such as failure of the PDX-8’s rim shots to
sound or double triggering.
About Rim Sens (*1)
If any of the following problems occurs, adjust Rim Sens to a value in the range indicated in the
column for the corresponding percussion sound module.
• If the rim sound plays even when you strike the head, lower the Rim Sens value.
• If no rim sound plays even when the rim is struck forcefully, increase the Rim Sens value.
* When using the TD-12 and TD-20, adjust the “RimShot Adjust.”
IMPORTANT: Only the snare input is capable of
producing a rim shot.
IMPORTANT: Only the 2(snare) input is capable of
producing a rim shot.
IMPORTANT: Only the inputs listed below are
capable of producing a rim shot.
TD-12
: 2 (SNARE), 3–5 (TOM1–3), 11–12 (AUX1–2)
TD-20
: 2 (SNARE), 3–6 (TOM1–4), 12–15 (AUX1–4)
Setting when connecting with trigger input 2(SNARE)
The PDX-8 does not support the TD-12’s and TD-20’s
positional sensing. Set the TD-12/TD-20 so that strike
position sensing is not activated. Set Snare CC to
“OFF.”
