Configuring the pad triggers

Here’s how to configure the trigger settings, so that the signals from the pads can be accurately processed by the WT-10.

Selecting the type of pad connected to the WT-10 (INPUT CONFIGURATION)

Select the type of pad on the SPD-SX PRO (trigger settings).

This example shows the steps when we select the “CY-16R-T” cymbal.

  1. Select [MENU] Ó “SYSTEM”.
  2. Use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to select “PAD/TRIG IN” and press the [ENTER] button.
  3. The PAD / TRIG IN screen appears.
  4. Press the [F6] (DrumLink) button.
  5. The DrumLink screen appears.
  6. Open the [F2] (BASIC) tab.
  8. Strike to select the pad that you want to set.
  9. You can also use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to move the cursor to the position shown in the illustration, and use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to select the pad to set.
  11. Press the [F6] (INPUT CONFIG) button.
  12. The INPUT CONFIGURATION screen appears.
  14. Select “CY-16R-T” for PAD1 on the screen.
  16. An asterisk is shown to the left of the pad name (CY-16R-T). (An asterisk is shown whenever the internal settings have not yet been synchronized.)

  17. MEMO

    1. Bell techniques are not supported on the SPD-SX PRO. With the example as shown on this screen, the P1 (PAD1) sound plays regardless of where you play on the CY-16R-T, meaning the head (bow), the rim (edge) or the bell. Note that the BELL jack on the CY-16R-T must be connected to the PAD2 jack of the WT-10.
    2. When you change the pad type, the pad parameters aside from Assign are set to their optimum values. You can fine-tune the settings as appropriate, according to how you attach the pad and how you use it.
  18. Strike the cymbal once.
  19. Once the internal settings are synchronized, the asterisk to the left of the pad name (CY-16R-T) disappears.

MEMO

You can also press the [F5] (TOOLS) button and select “INPUT CONFIG” to view the INPUT CONFIGURATION screen.

Assigning the trigger input for the pad connected to the WT-10

Here’s how to set the trigger input to which the connected pad should be assigned.

If this is your first time connecting, the trigger inputs are automatically assigned to each pad. The following explains how to change the trigger inputs that are assigned to each pad.

MEMO

If the Assign parameter (TRIGGER BASIC, CURVE, OPTIONS/ADVANCED) for the trigger input is set to something other than TRIG IN 1/2, TRIG IN 3/4, TRIG IN 5/6 or TRIG IN 7/8, you can’t get different sounds from the head and rim. The rim shot, cross stick and bell techniques are not supported.

  1. Select [MENU] Ó “SYSTEM”.
  2. Use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to select “PAD/TRIG IN” and press the [ENTER] button.
  3. The PAD / TRIG IN screen appears.
  4. Press the [F6] (DrumLink) button.
  5. The DrumLink screen appears.
  6. Press the [F2] (BASIC) button to access the DrumLink - TRIGGER BASIC screen.
  7. Strike to select the pad that you want to set.
  8. You can also use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to move the cursor to the position shown in the illustration, and use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to select the pad to set.
  10. Use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to select the Assign parameter.
  12. Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to edit the trigger input assignment.

When connected to a hi-hat (Hi-Hat Calibration)

When connecting a hi-hat to the PAD1 jack of the WT-10, configure the calibration settings after making the “Selecting the type of pad connected to the WT-10 (INPUT CONFIGURATION)” settings.

  1. Select [MENU] Ó “SYSTEM”.
  2. Use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to select “PAD/TRIG IN” and press the [ENTER] button.
  3. The PAD / TRIG IN screen appears.
  4. Press the [F6] (DrumLink) button.
  5. The DrumLink screen appears.
  6. Open the [F2] (BASIC) tab.
  8. Press the [F5] (TOOLS) button.
  9. Select “CALIBRATE PEDAL” with the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons.
  11. Loosen the hi-hat’s clutch screw, and let the hi-hat rest naturally on the motion sensor unit.
  12. Look for the indicator in the lower right part of the screen.
  14. When the indicator is within the CALIBRATION area
  15. The adjustment is complete.
  17. When the indicator is above the CALIBRATION area
  18. Turn the offset adjustment screw counterclockwise.
  19. Lift and lower the hi-hat naturally, and double-check that the indicator stays within the CALIBRATION area.
  21. When the indicator is below the CALIBRATION area
  22. Turn the offset adjustment screw clockwise.
  23. Lift and lower the hi-hat naturally, and double-check that the indicator stays within the CALIBRATION area.
  25. Click the [F6] (DONE) button to finish the calibration.
  26. Fasten the clutch screw at a position where the hi-hat sways naturally when struck.
