DANGER! (Electric shock due to high voltages in the device)
The housing must not be removed! There are no parts to be maintained in the
device. Inside the unit there are components which are under high electrical
voltage.
Before each use, check the device for damage or the absence of components,

Leave maintenance and repair work to a qualied service workshop or contact
your dealer.
DANGER! (Electric shock due to short circuit)
Modications to the power cord or plug are prohibited. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced immediately with an original spare part from the
manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in re or death due to electric shock!
WARNING! (Damage to hearing)
The unit may generate volumes that may cause temporary or permanent
hearing loss. Over time, even seemingly uncritical levels can cause hearing
damage. Reduce the volume immediately if ear noise or hearing loss occurs.
If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use adequate
hearing protection.
Hint! (Fire hazard due to overheating)

high quality cables for the connections.

Hint! (Operating conditions)
Due to its structural characteristics, the device is designed for indoor operation
(IP20). Never expose the device to rain, moisture or liquids as this may cause
damage.
Vibrations, dust or solar radiation can also lead to damage, avoid them!

If you do not use your device for a longer period of time, disconnect it from
the power supply in order to minimize danger. The same applies to storm
conditions such as thunderstorms, oods, etc.
Hint! (Using racks)
As soon as the unit is mounted on a rack, it must always be ensured that it is
stable and secure.
Hint! (Possible damage due to magnetic elds)
Loudspeakers generate a static magnetic eld. Please keep an appropriate
distance from other equipment that may be affected or damaged by an
external magnetic eld.
Hint! (Installation)
Be sure to inspect the device for damage before using. Optimum use of the
original packaging or suitable transport or storage packaging to protect the
product when not in use optimally against inuences such as
dust or moisture, etc.

Playing Techniques:
This section introduces various performance functions to make
your performance professional. Similar to an acoustic drum kit,
the digital drum responds differently to various playing tech-
niques and dynamics. All the pads are velocity sensitive. And
some voices change timbre depending on the striking force.
Pad
Only the snare drum can detect both head shot and rim shot.
Head Shot
Strike only the head of the pad.
Rim Shot
Strike the head and the rim of the pad simultaneously. Or you
can only strike the rim of the pad.
Cymbal
Cymbal Bow shot
Playing the middle area of the cymbal.
Choke Play
Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat
don‘t have the cymbal choke.
Choking the crash/ride edge with the hand immediately after
hitting the crash/ride mutes the crash/ride sound.
Hi-Hat
Hi-Hat Pedal Change
With different positions the pedal pressed down, the voice of
pad varied while you are striking the Hi-Hat pad. And this is
similar to an acoustic drum.
Open Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad without pressing the pedal.
Closed Hi-Hat
Strike the Hi-Hat pad with the pedal pressed completely down.
Hi-Hat Pedal
Press down the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a foot-close
sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
Splash
Playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and then
instantly
opening it.
