The "ADVANCED Setting" tab allows you to fine-tune the behavior and response of individual drum and cymbal triggers to match your playing style.
The advanced controls in the DWe Control app offer drummers a high level of customization and precision when it comes to adjusting trigger settings for various drum and cymbal types. Let's delve deeper into the specific controls you mentioned:
For Snare Drum:
- Rimshot vs. Head: This control allows you to adjust the crossover point between a center zone hit on the snare drum's head and the rimshot zone. By turning this knob, you can find the right balance that suits your playing style. If you move the knob towards the rimshot side, you'll hear more rimshot sounds, and if you move it towards the head side, you'll hear more center head sounds.
- Rim vs. Rimshot: This control determines the crossover point between the rim/cross-stick sound and the rimshot sound. Lower settings make it easier to trigger a rimshot sound, meaning you'll hear more rimshots when playing on the rim.
- Positional Sensing Smoothness: This control filters out center hits from the edge zone of the drum, so you only hear the edge sounds when you use positional sensing. It helps create a natural transition from an edge sound to a center head sound, mimicking the behavior of an acoustic snare drum.
- Positional Sensing Range: This control determines where on the drum the edge sound will be triggered. Higher settings mean you need to play closer to the edge of the rim to trigger the edge sound, while lower settings make it easier to trigger edge sounds.
For Toms:
- Toms have two controls, "Rimshot vs. Head" and "Rim vs. Rimshot," which function similarly to the controls on the snare drum. These controls help you customize the response of your toms based on your playing style.
For Cymbals (eg; Ride Cymbal)
- Cymbals like the ride have the control "Bell vs. Bow." This control adjusts the crossover point between the bell and bow sounds, allowing you to fine-tune the balance between these two distinct sounds.
These advanced controls enable drummers to achieve a highly personalized drumming experience, replicating the nuances and responsiveness of acoustic drum kits. By carefully adjusting these parameters, you can ensure that your electronic drum kit responds precisely to your playing dynamics and preferences, making your drumming experience both expressive and authentic
