Alesis D4 Computer Drive User Manual


 
other
parameters have
already
been
correctly
adjusted. When
you play
the
pads
while
no other instruments
are
being
sounded,
all
of the
hits are triggering
and tracking properly.
Now as the band begins
and
the stage volume
is very loud, the
stage starts trembling which causes the
drum hardware to
vibrate.
At
times the tom
1 and
the
tom
2 pad are
triggering
when
not
being
played. This is
because
the D4 is interpreting the
signals
from the stand vibrations as hits.
By adjusting
the
NOISE
parameter
the
D4
can determine which signals
are vibrations
caused
by the surrounding
noise level, and which
signals
are
actual hits.
Set the NOISE value.
1. First select the desired trigger
to
edit, tom 1 in this case.
2. Next
place
the cursor under the NOISE
parameter
value.
3.
Increase
the value to
a level
that will stop the pad
from false
triggering when the strong vibrations occur. If the triggering
is frequent and
strong, try starting with
an increase
of
20
or
more. If the
triggering
is
not as often
and
is softer
in
volume,
first
try
adding 10
to the value,
then
gradually add more if
necessary.
4. Repeat
steps
1
through 3 to correct the
problem
with the tom
2pad.
5. Finally,
return
to the Drumset mode
by
pressing the Drum
Set button. This will protect from
the
possibility
of
accidentally
editing
your settings.
Nofe:
Whenever possible, keep
some distance between
your
drum kit and
the
nearest
speaker cabinets
(especially
bass
cabinets), and make
sure they
are not facing
directly
at your
set
up. Remember
that the closer
and louder in volume
the cabinets
are, the greater
the chances
are
that they
will
cause
false
triggering
problems.
