TAIKO-1: Why does the sound seem to drop out sometimes when I strike the rim?

• Check the following points.
  Is your hand touching the head while you’re playing the rim?: if so, either only the head or the rim produces sound.
• Is the threshold set too high?: if the crosstalk cancel threshold is set too high, the sound may drop out.

To adjust the threshold sensitivity, follows the steps shown below.

1. Press “MENU” (F2 button).
2. Use the [Λ] [V] buttons to select “Trigger,” and then press “SELECT” (F2 button).
3. Use the [Λ] [V] buttons to select “Pad Setting,” and then press “SELECT” (F2 button).
   - PAD SETTINGS screen appears.
4. Use the [Λ] [V] buttons to select “Threshold.”
5. If the sound still drops out when you strike the pad softly, use the [+] [–] buttons to slightly lower this value.
   - Repeat these steps until the setting is just right.
6. Press the F1 button several times or press the [TOMOE] button to return to the top screen.
