Rim Vel (Rim Velocity); Pad Func (Pad Function) - Yamaha DTX Owner's Manual

17 RIM Vel (RIM velocity)

This function sets the velocity of the trigger
when the rim of the pad is played. There are 2
types of settings: one where the velocity is
always the same level, and the other where the
velocity changes according to the impact of the
attack.
! Move the cursor to the INPUT focus area
and rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the
+1/YES and -1/NO buttons to choose the
input jack number.
You can also enable the Learn mode (P.115)
to automatically select the input jack number
by hitting each pad or drum.
" Move the cursor to the Velocity focus area
and rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the
+1/YES and -1/NO buttons to select the
velocity. The settings vary as follows:
mute Hi ....... The velocity changes according to the strength of
the attack on the rim. In the same manner as the
pad velocity, the velocity is automatically
calculated based on the level range, velocity range
and velocity curve on the 5th, 6th, and 7th
display pages. The difference
between"variabl"described below is that pad will
be muted if the DTX receives a trigger lower than
the minimum level set for level range on the 5th
display page. This is convenient when you are
using cymbal pads.
mute Lo ....... The setting is simular to "mute Hi" above, but
enables you to set the velocity at a lower level Use
"mute Hi" when you are using the mute more
than the rim, and "mute Lo" when you are
playing the rim more than using the mute.
variabl ......... The velocity changes according to the strength of
the attack on the rim. In the same manner as the
pad velocity, the velocity is automatically
calculated based on the level range, velocity range
and velocity curve on the 5th, 6th, and 7th
display pages.
fix1 to fix127 ..... The velocity set here remains the same regardless
of the strength of the attack on the rim. The
mute function cannot be used if values are set to
this function. The voice trigger is faster
compared to mute Hi and mute Lo.
# Repeat steps ! and " to set the velocity of
each input jack number.
