TB8 Troubleshooting Tips (Cross-talk between pads)
Below are the possible setting adjustments to get the desired effect. Try any or all.
- Pad type selection (use generic)
- Trigger input type (select rubber or mesh pad)
- Pad sensitivity
- Rim gain or rim / edge dynamic response
- Cross- talk cancellation
- Threshold (pads minimum sensitivity)
- Response time
- Scan time (0-4ms) trigger signal detection)
- Mask time (0-64ms double triggering prevention)
- Re-trigger cancel (detection trigger signal attenuation)
Troubleshooting Tips (Trigger Malfunction)
No output from trigger?
- re-seat TRS jack (fully pressed in?)
- is TRS jack a TR(single zone) or TRS (dual zone) ?
- TR jacks typically used for toms and bass drums.
- TRS jacks typically used for snare drum (head and rim).
- Swap TRS jack from another working drum to isolate problem source.
- Tap tip of cone with your finger and watch control module input sensitivity leds for activity.
- Is control module and amp turned on (really)?? Had to list it folks, sorry.
- Is the control module input intended for a dual or single zone trigger?
- Are you using the correct connection cable?
Head shot works but no rim trigger
- Are you using a TRS cable intended for 2 zones?
- remove TB8 and tap bracket mounting edge (with 4 holes) using your finger nail to test the rim trigger piezo.
- Try a different channel utilizing 2 zone triggering to isolate a channel related settings.
- Reset program parameters to factory default (many customers have had success doing this).
- If you have two dual zone triggers, swap them to see if problem follows
