[...]TRIGGER INPUT
How to make settings for pads, kick triggers or acoustic drum triggers connected to the TRIG IN jacks.
Set the following parameters. Press the PAGE buttons to change parameters and press [-]/[+] to change the value.
When InputMode is set to TRGx2, Trig Type can be set for individual playing surfaces. Hit a pad/trigger or hold down [SHIFT]
and press the PAGE buttons to change the pad/trigger. Verify with the flashing pad indicators.
When you connect two pads or other devices using the PCS-31 cable, the white plug of the PCS-31 serves as TRIG IN 1 and its red
plug as TRIG IN 2.
To use the rim-shot/edge-shot/bell-shot features, connect a pad using a stereo cable that comes with the pad product. In this case,
you can connect one pad only.
When using pads or other devices from other manufacturers, the SPD-S may not produce a performance as designed even with
settings on Trig Type or trigger parameters. We recommend using Roland products for expressive performance.
Select whether or not to use rim-shot.
HD&RM: To connect a single pad with rim-shot/edge-shot/bell-shot features.
TRGx2: To connect two devices like pads and kick triggers.
When two pads are connected, the rim-shot/edge-shot/bell-shot features are unavailable.
