Why are my rim sounds at one volume no matter how lightly or hard I hit them?

This is because the rim trigger is an ON/OFF switch and it doesn't have any dynamics.

When I hit one pad another pad will play too. How do I correct this?

The Cross Talk control in the Trigger Menu section allows you to set the value to eliminate cross talk. The higher the value, the less likely one pad will trigger another.

When someone nearby stomps on the floor, my pads trigger. How do I correct this?

Increase the value of the Threshold control until the false triggering is eliminated.

I'm not getting a full range of dynamics from my pads. How do I correct this?

You may have the sensitivity set too high. Try lowering the sensitivity and the threshold and see if the dynamic range improves.

I'm getting double-hits on the rim of my snare drum. How do I correct this?

The switch trigger in the rim is very sensitive and can be triggered accidently by hits just glancing the rim. Please adjust your technique or lower your drum to minimize hitting the rim accidentally.

Can I get cross stick and rimshot on the rim of my snare drum at the same time?

No. The switch triggers we us in our rims cannot be programmed to be rimshot and cross stick at the same time. It can, however, be one or the other.

My pads are not picking up everything I play. How do I correct this?

Try the Retrigger Control. Lowering the setting allows the REDBOX to capture minute and closer-spaced playing such as buzz rolls.

Even when I play evenly, the sound varies. Why is this?

The REDBOX uses a "Round Robin" protocol that automatically changes the samples being played to eliminate the "machine gun" effect

How do you save the user defined kits?
