Using the provided cables, connect each Trigger input jack on the rear panel of the module, and make sure each
pad is connected to its corresponding Trigger input jack.

as an 'open hi-hat' when the pedal is stepped. When the pedal is released, it functions as a 'closed hi-hat' .
2. The valid striking area of a cymbal pad (ride, crash or hi-hat) is near the edge of the pad, which is different from
other pads.
Caution!
To prevent electric shock and damage to the device, make sure the power is switched OFF
on the drum and all related device before making any connection.
