Roland trigger settings

Starting pad type and BASIC/ADVANCED values for the A2E on popular Roland modules — the same profile used for the drum-tec Pro Snare.

Starting points, not locked recipes. These pad types and values are the recommended starting point. Fine-tune Sens, Threshold and Rim Gain on your kit after you load these values. V31 / V51 / V71 use the pro3 Snare bank below (Pad Type PD-128) on the analogue snare input.
