A drum trigger uses a built-in sensor to sense the timing and velocity (force) of how the drum is played. Then these trigger signals and transmitted to the sound module.

The RT-10K Kick Trigger and RT-10T tom trigger support head triggering. The RT-10S Snare Trigger supports separate head/rim dual triggering.

1. Mount the drum trigger (p. 6).

2. Then connect it to percussion sound module (p. 8).

3. Set the trigger type and various parameters in the percussion sound module (p. 14).

4. If needed, fine-tune the trigger parameters while checking the response of the trigger (p. 14).

Mounting The Drum Trigger

Set up your drums, making sure that any trigger-mounted drum is NOT in contact with another drum or stand. Vibrations transmitted from such direct contact can cause unwanted triggering.

Make sure the snare drum is secure in its stand. Muffling (muting) of the drums can help reduce excess vibrations of the drum trigger, which will

improve triggering accuracy. We recommend using a conventional bass drum mute or blanket pressing against the head. For the snare drum, use a ring muffler with the area where the sensor touches the head cut out as shown in the diagram below.

Correct setting of the percussion sound modules trigger parameters will ensure the best dynamic response.

Vibrations from other drums being played or drum resonance can cause sounds to be triggered accidently. Spacing the drums a bit farther apart, placing them on separate stands, muffling, and/ or changing the tuning can improve trigger response. If after doing any of those suggested procedures you still have problems, re-adjust the trigger parameters (p. 14).

Loud sounds from monitor speakers can also cause unwanted triggering. Change the angle of the speakers or move them further away from the drum kit. If unwanted triggering continues, re- adjust the trigger parameters (p. 14).

fig.RT-10K-toritsuke

1. Attach the included hoop guards (2) to the inner and outer sides of the kick drum hoop.

Attach the hoop guards at one of the positions indicated in the figure. We suggest these positions in order to keep the trigger as far away from the snare drum or tom toms as possible.

Make sure the hoop guards to not touch any of the tension bolts.

2. Use a drum key to loosen the RT-10Ks sensor bolt.

3. Mount the RT-10K on the hoop guards (Step 1), then firmly tighten the mounting screw to secure the trigger to the hoop.

Firmly secure the mounting screw to prevent the drum trigger from falling off.

1. Use a drum key to loosen the RT-10S/RT-10Ts sensor bolt.

2. Mount the RT-10S/RT-10T to the drum hoop, then turn the mounting screw to secure it in place.

Be sure it does not be touch any tension bolts and position it opposite yourself so that it doesn't hinder performance, and so you don't hit it accidently.

* Do not insert fingers inside the trigger case and do not touch the board inside. When moving the drum with the trigger mounted, only hold the drum itself. Never place excess stress on the trigger itself.

Set the sensor bolt so that the sensor compresses approximately 23 mm when pressed against the head.

* The position of the secured sensor and the amount of this compression play an important role in the performance of the trigger.

* Make sure that the sensor constantly remains in contact with the head, even when playing the drum.

* This setting is very important. If the sensor is compressed too much against the head, it could cause re- triggering when the head is played. (meaning more than one sound when you hit the head only once)

Use a stereo cable (included) to connect the drum trigger and the percussion sound module. Make sure the cable does not touch the trigger (other than the connection) or the drum itself.

* When using the RT-10S Snare Trigger, rim shots cannot be played if a monaural cable is used.

* More details regarding percussion sound modules capable of processing RT-10S Snare Trigger rim shots can be found here. Percussion Sound Module Parameter Settings (p. 14).

Setting Trigger Parameters in a Percussion Sound Module

Correct trigger type and parameter settings provide accurate triggering.

We have included an extensive list of percussion sound modules with their respective parameter settings. Please refer to the charts beginning on page 14.

Unlike standard electronic drum pads, mesh or rubber, acoustic drums need special attention. Please read the following to have a better understanding of how various parameters can help you get the desired results.

The name of this parameter is self-explanatory, and should be adjusted to your playing style. To adjust this, play at your lowest dynamic and also at your strongest dynamic to make sure you get the result you want from your sound module. Higher sensitivity allows the drum to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower sensitivity will keep the drum producing a low volume even when played forcefully.

Retriggering happens when you hit the drum once, but more than one sound comes from your sound module. Because an acoustic drum vibrates in a different way than an electronic drum pad, attention is needed here if you find this happening. This can also happen from vibrations from nearby drums, or even monitor speakers.

Threshold Threshold level determines the point at which the signal from the drum trigger actually triggers a sound. You can look at the chart below to understand this.

The curves indicate your playing dynamics. In this case, no sound is produced a the A or C points, but only the B point. If you set the value higher, then soft hits on the drum will NOT trigger a sound. Obviously if the value is too low, then retriggering will occur easily. In this case, you must set the value according to your softest playing dynamics, not forgetting about possible vibrations from other drums in your kit. In a live situation, when playing with a band and/or using monitor speakers, this parameter may need adjusting according to the acoustic environment you are in.

Retrigger Cancel Important when you are using drum triggers. Such triggers can produce altered waveforms, which may also cause inadvertent sounding not only at A but also at B point in the following chart.

Retrigger Cancel detects disruptions in these waveforms and makes it more difficult for retriggering to occur.

While repeatedly striking the drum, raise the Retrigger Cancel value until retriggering no longer occur. Set this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring there is no retriggering. Although setting this to a high value prevents

retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.).

* Muting the drum can work to suppress disruptions in the trigger waveform.

Crosstalk is a problem in which the vibrations and sounds from a drum when it is struck ends up triggering other drums. Crosstalk Cancel is a setting that prevents crosstalk that occurs among drum triggers connected to the same percussion sound module.

When a sound being triggered by the snare drum, for example, is heard when you play another drum, kick or tom-tom, then you should raise this value for the snare drum triggered sound. If this problem occurs, Crosstalk Cancel value should be adjusted first.

In this case, for example, if you hit the tom and the snare drum triggers the sound assigned to it, you can do the following:

1. Set the tom and snare to the same Crosstalk Cancel Group. (Only TD-20 and TD-12)

2. Set the Mount Type for the tom and snare to PAD. (Only TD-20 and TD-12)

3. Then adjust the Crosstalk Cancel value for the snare, by hitting the tom until the snare trigger no longer triggers the sound.

***** Hint or Tips ICON ******

* If the triggers are being affected by sounds from other drums without drum triggers or from speakers, adjust the Threshold (p. 9) value.

* Only with attaching the drum trigger to the drum, you can use the Crosstalk Cancel in the percussion sound module to prevent you from having crosstalk.

Crosstalk Cancel/ XTalk Cancel

Matching the Drum Trigger to the Sound Module Trigger types are groupings of various trigger parameters adjusted to match specific pads and triggers. Roland percussion sound modules feature pre-programmed trigger settings for this purpose. Adjusting the trigger parameters based on these settings will provide the best performance from the RT-10 series.

Stable Triggering Dynamics and Speed Accuracy A drum triggers response is affected by many variables. These include the type of drum, the head and tuning, how it is muffled (or muted) and your playing style. Correct trigger parameter settings will guarantee good dynamic response and speed accuracy.

Special Triggering Examples Triggering from acoustic drums is not only used in a normal full, dynamic sense, but sometimes triggers are used to trigger loops in samplers, or sounds or special effects where natural dynamics are not needed. When triggering a loop or special

effects, it is best to set the threshold level to a high value. This way, low velocity hits on the drum will not trigger that sound.

When triggering a sound that you always want to be at the same level, no matter how hard you play, set the Trigger Curve to LOUD

Troubleshooting

Normally, you should not have any problems if you have read this manual carefully, followed the instructions and have carefully taken into consideration the multiple variables regarding using drum triggers; type of drum, head, muffling, playing style, acoustic environment etc.

Check all connections, and make sure the trigger sensor is touching the head as explained on page 8. Check the sound modules trigger indicator to confirm that the percussion sound module is

receiving the trigger signals.

Improve the Drum Setup Move the position of the drum trigger that is reacting to the sound/vibration from another drum. It may be necessary to mute or muffle the head in a way that you would not normally do when

only playing acoustically, or actually change the type of head to the muted head such as the

PinStripe from REMO Inc.

* PinStripe

For Snare Drum triggering, it's a good idea to keep the tension of the snares fairly tight.

Adjust trigger parameters Adjust the Retrigger Cancel value (p. 9).

Improve the Drum Setup Make sure the drums in question are not in physical contact. Move the position of the drum trigger that is reacting to the sound/vibration from another drum. It may be necessary to mute or muffle the head in a way that you would not normally do when

only playing acoustically, or actually change the type of head to the muted head such as the

PinStripe from REMO Inc. For Snare Drum triggering, it's a good idea to keep the tension of the snares fairly tight. Make sure your drums are securely mounted, especially the snare drum.

Adjust trigger parameters If problems occur between drums equipped with drum triggers, adjust the percussion sound

modules Crosstalk Cancel/XTalk Cancel value (p. 10).

* Only with attaching the drum trigger to the drum, you can use the Crosstalk Cancel in the percussion sound module to prevent you from having crosstalk.

If the triggers are being affected by sounds from other drums without drum triggers or from speakers, adjust the Threshold (p. 9) value.

Troubleshooting

RT-10KST_e.fm 12

Is the volume too loud of nearby monitor speakers? If in a band situation, is the bass amp too close or too loud?

Adjust the Threshold value. (p. 9)

Separate triggering from the rim is only possible when using the RT-10S snare trigger. Make sure the cable is Stereo. Verify that the trigger input you are using is rim-shot capable. (p. 14) Verify your trigger parameter settings in the module you are using. (p. 14)

This is normal if you are not using the RT-10S snare trigger.

Adjust the Sensitivity value. (p. 9)
