(TD-12) Sounds triggered by vibration/taps on the sound module, feature or fault?

[ticktock]

Hallo!

I've had my TD-12 for a couple of years now. These two things seem related:

• When I tap the sound module's case it re-triggers whatever I last hit
• I often get an unwanted machine-gunning auto-triggering nightmare, and the kit becomes unplayable.

I figured these might be related (vibrations through the frame re-triggering) so I took the module off the frame and it didn't do it anymore, hurrah!
I have done a factory reset a few times. I have questions:

• Is this triggering by tapping the module's case a feature or a fault?
• If it's a feature can I turn it off?

I don't want to start fiddling with masking when the module seems to be the trigger and isolating it or disabling that feature is a more permanent and elegant fix.

Thanks

Alan

Perhaps the Preview button is getting stuck down slightly? That would normally repeat the last pad hit.

You could try setting its three volume levels to 0 at SETUP, CONTROL, PREVIEW.
