CONNECTION DIAGRAM
QUICKSTART: SETUP & PLAYING
1. Connect your electronic drum kit's pads to the cable snake, then connect the cable snake to the CABLE
SNAKE INPUT on the module's rear panel.
2. Optional: If you have any additional pads (e.g., an extra tom, an extra crash cymbal), connect them to
the module's TOM 4 INPUT or CRASH 2 INPUT.
3. Connect speakers (sold separately) to the OUTPUTS and/or connect 1/8" stereo headphones (sold
separately) to the PHONES output. Turn the VOLUME knob all the way down (counterclockwise).
4. Connect the module to a power source, using the included power adapter (9 VDC, 500 mA, center pin
positive).
5. Press the POWER SWITCH to turn the module on.
6. Adjust the VOLUME knob to an appropriate level and play some drums!
Selecting a drum kit:
After powering on the module, or after pressing the KIT button,
you will see the KIT indicator and NUM in the display. Use the
< and > buttons to select a drum kit, and start playing! You can
also preview the sounds (at a fixed velocity) by pressing the
PAD SELECT buttons.
Kits 01-24 are Preset Kits. Kits 25-40 are User Kits (see EDITING & SAVING DRUM KITS for more
information).
Using the metronome:
You can turn the metronome ("click track") on or off by pressing the CLICK button. Adjust its tempo by
pressing TEMPO and using the < and > buttons to set the new BPM (beats per minute). See ADJUSTING
