CAUTION!
To prevent electric shock and damage to the device, make sure the power is switched
OFF on the sound module and all related devices before making any connection.
Pads and Pedal
Using the provided cables, connect the 1/4” jacks to the corresponding drum
pads, cymbal pads and kick pad. The pin connection will attach to the serial
port of the sound module. (See illustration.)
Note: The voice of the hi-hat pad is controlled by the hi-hat pedal. Similar to
a real drum kit, the hi-hat pad functions as an ‘open hi-hat’ when the pedal is
released. When the pedal is pressed down, it functions as a ‘closed hi-hat’.
Note: The striking area of cymbal pad (ride, crash or hi-hat) is near the edge
of the pad. One of the cymbal pads has a choke function (indicated by raised
pattern at cymbal edge.) Grab this area to stop cymbal from sounding.
