Configuring the strainer

Operate the strainer (throw-off) lever on the PD-14DSX to “attach” the snare wires to the snare (bottom side; ON) or to “detach” them (OFF) for a specific snare sound.

The volume of the operating sound changes according to how fast you operate the lever. Aside from the snare wire operation, you can also assign functions to the strainer for controlling effects and so on.

You can assign a variety of functions to the strainer, such as turning the strainer knob to adjust the tension of the snare wires, or pressing the knob to play or stop a song.

ØFor details on the parameters that can be edited, refer to “Data List” (Roland website).
