mystery triggers

[wgblackmon]

I've been using 2 of the built in kits
that come with my V set. Each set has mysterious triggers attached to the cymbals.
I can't find a way to get rid of these triggers. I've followed the instructions in the manual to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you talking about a pattern assigned to a rim on a PD-9?

[wgblackmon]

yes - sorry I'm new to the terminology and
the entire electronic side of drumming. i assumed there would be a way to easily see any patterns attached to any drums in a given kit and a simple way to remove it permanently. i'm a software engineer and i must admit the user interface and the logic contained therein has me very confused. I am especially disturbed by the seeming lack of ability to make PERMANENT changes to items in kits and have them stick between sessions.
I know I need to spend more time with the manual, but some of the 'features' are very counter-intuitive. Thank god for this site!

You have the answer to your own question. READ and read and read. The manual is GREAT.

Maybe the manual IS great, it's the design
of software and user interface that leaves something to be desired. This requires a GREAT manual.....

Sorry - I meant changes to items like the
metronome - the tempo, the click, etc. For example, one day the tempo opens at 180 bps,
the next day 276 bps. Also, can you get change from the voice to a click or something as the DEFAULT?

Need more information. What "V" set do you have? It makes a difference. Specificially we need to know if you have a TD-? and if TD-10, do you have the original expansion card or the updated exp card w/V-cymbal control?

As far as patterns assigned to the pads, several factory kits have a pattern assigned to a crash rim. To turn it off, hit the offending rim, press INST, CTRL>, PTN and dial to the left until you are set to OFF. It will return if you reinitialize your kits or overwrite it with the factory kit stored in memory. I sounded like you were talking about this more than crosstalk.

Once you get over the newness and initial overwhelming feeling most of us experience with new toys like these, I think you will find the TD's are more user friendly than similar items.

Boingo has answered the first part of your question on turning off a pattern assigned somewhere. It will stay off unless you do something to bring it (or another pattern) back in.

As far as metronome, I'm not sure about all modules, but you may not be able to change the default sound, it is a quick and easy change to make in any given playing/recording session though.

The TD10-ex will retain the last voice used on the metronome. This is why I asked what he was using. TD10 w/o exp will not. Don't have a clue on the other TD's.
