Precautions when connecting a Kick pedal (Kick Trigger Unit)
When using a kick pedal, a specialized Kick Trigger Unit (KD-7; sold separately) can be compatible.
A connecting cable and beater are included with
the KD-7, and you may use a favorite bass drum
pedal to control the SPD-20X sounds. Set the
Polarity Switch on the KD-7 to the “-”(negative)
position, then connect to an TRIGGER INPUT jack
(1–3), or to the HH CTRL/TRIG 4 jack. (However,
in the later case, be sure to set the External input
select switch to TRIG 4.)
By connecting two sets of units and pedals, you can use dual bass drum techniques. There are two
ways to do this. You can use the mix in jack of one KD-7 and connect the two sets in serial to one SPD-
20X input, or you can connect each KD-7 to its own SPD-20X Trigger input. The rst method uses only
one SPD-20X TRIGGER INPUT, and the second method uses two SPD-20X TRIGGER INPUTs. However,
the second method allows you to control two dierent Instruments, so that you can assign dierent-
sounding Kick Drums to each side, and change the pitch and Pan settings for a more expressive sound.
When connecting two KD-7s with the KD-7’s Mix In jack, the Kick Trigger signal is slightly weakened. In
such cases, when connecting the KD-7 set the Trigger Input Trigger Sensitivity slightly higher.
