System Operation (cont.):

Cymbal Finder Mode:

In Cymbal Finder mode, the DCP automatically senses that a cymbal has been struck and ﬂashes its preset

number display. This is handy for quickly identifying which cymbal in your kit is connected to which channel

of the Digital Cymbal Processor, without having to trace your cables.

To enter Cymbal Finder mode, press and hold the Cym4 button. The DCP display will initially show “Cym

Finder”. When a cymbal attack is sensed, that cymbal’s preset display will be shown ﬂashing and the other

cymbals’ displays will show “—“.

A medium-velocity tap on the bell of the cymbal you wish to identify, while choking the cymbal with your other

hand will yield the best results. The objective is to tap on the bell hard enough to trigger the Digital Cymbal

Processor’s detection. Hitting too hard may trigger adjacent AE Cymbal mics.

Press any key to exit Cymbal Finder mode.

Note: In DCP ﬁrmware versions lower than 1.2.2, Cymbal Finder mode was not available as a separate func-

tion; it was combined with Solo Mode. We recommend all users upgrade to the latest ﬁrmware version for the

most up-to-date features. Visit www.Gen-16.com to download the Gen16 DCP Access Tool application program
