  • Page 2: How The Triggers Generate Sounds

    Here, we provide detailed information on how trigger signals generate Trigger Sounds. About the Pads Pads that can be used with the EAD10 include drum triggers and electronic drum pads. Types of pads include two piezo type and one piezo type.

  • Page 3: The Relationship Between Trigger Input Jacks, Trigger Inputs, Trigger Input Sources

    Each Zone transmits a different signal, which is called a Trigger Input Source. When the EAD10 receives a trigger signal from the pad, the Main Unit plays the Trigger Input Source. A Trigger Sound is assigned to the Trigger Input Source.

  • Page 4: Trigger Sound (Instrument, Voice)

    Voice “Voice” refers to a sound that makes up an Instrument. With the EAD10, you can use a different Voice for each Trigger Input Source. For example, on an acoustic snare drum you can play a head shot sound, open rim shot sound, and a closed rim shot sound all from the same drum.

    Saving (Save) and Loading (Load) Data Files All data stored in the EAD10 can be saved to a USB flash drive. Files saved to a USB flash drive can also be loaded back into the Main Unit. For more information, see MENU/File (page 47).
