System Operation (cont.):
Kit Preset Mode:
Kit Presets allow you to create and save custom “kits” of cymbal presets that you can recall instantly. To enter
Kit Preset Mode, press and hold the Cym5 tone-shape button until the top four cymbal channels dim to show
that they are part of a kit preset.
The kit preset number is shown on the Cym5 LED display, at normal brightness. You can cycle through the kit
presets by pressing Cym5 up or down.
Initially the default preset kits will have all their cymbal presets set equal to the kit preset number.
In order to prevent accidentally messing up your kit presets, cymbal presets in a preset kit cannot be changed
while they’re dimmed. To change a cymbal preset within a kit preset you need to put that channel into Edit
Mode as follows:
• To edit a cymbal’s preset within a Kit Preset, press and hold the tone-shape button of the cymbal
whose preset you want to change, until its LED brightens and flashes to show that it’s being edited. Then
use its up or down button to select the preset you want that cymbal to have in that kit.
• When you’ve got the one you want, save the change by pressing and holding the key of the
cymbal you just changed until it stops flashing and goes back to being dimmed. Now it’s been saved.
• Repeat for the other cymbals of the kit.
Note that since in Kit Preset mode Cym5 acts as the “kit selector”, the number displayed on Cym5’s preset
display indicates both the kit number and the Cym5 preset for the kit. This has two ramifications:
1. When in Kit Preset mode, Cym5’s cymbal preset is always the same as the kit number and cannot be
assigned as with the other cymbals.
2. The number of available kits is equal to the number of Cym5 presets.
To exit Kit Preset Mode, press and hold the Cym5 tone-shape button until all LED’s return to normal brightness.
