Setting Up Power Supply
1. Connect the AC power adaptor to the Power jack on the side panel.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to the AC outlet.
Notes:
1. Use only the specified AC adaptor.
2. Even when the module is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the
module at minimum level. Please unplug the module when it is not in
use for a long time.
Turning the Power On/Off
Turning On the Power
1. Make sure the master volume level is set to minimum.
2. Press the [POWER] button to turn on the module.
3. Listen to the headphones, and adjust the [VOLUME] knob while
striking the pads until you get an appropriate volume level.
Note:
Before turning on the power, make sure you have completed all neces-
sary connections (trigger, audio etc.) and turn down the volume of all the
connected equipments.
Turning Off the Power
1. Set the volume level of the module and the connected audio device
to minimum.
2. Turn off the connected audio device.
3. Press the [POWER] button to turn off the module.
Factory Reset
The module will automatically save current settings before it turns off. If

Adjusting the Head Tension
Please adjust the head tension before you start to perform. By adjusting
the head tension, you may make the pad respond to your strikes, just like
playing an acoustic drum.
1. Follow the order indicated in the image. Turn each tension bolt
around the head little by little.
2. Adjust the tightness of each bolt to make the pad tension even.
Notes:
1. Always adjust each tension bolt little by little. Turning the bolts too
much in one step may result in uneven pad tension.
2. The head tension may change after using for some time. Adjust the
head tension whenever it is necessary.
Auto Power Off
In order to save energy, the module will automatically turn off after 30
minutes if it is not in use. You may enable or disable this function in Utility

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 techniques 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 only strike
the rim of the pad.
Cymbal
Cymbal Bow shot
Strike the middle area of the cymbal.
Cymbal Edge Shot
Strike the edge area of the cymbal.
Choke Play
Both Ride and Crash cymbals have cymbal choke. But hi-hat don't
support 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
Press the pedal down to different positions, the sound of striking the
Hi-Hat cymbal will vary. 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

carefully to fit your playing habits and feelings, making your perfor-
mance more interesting and professional.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button, the LCD will display the UTILITY menu.
2. Repeatedly press the [PAGE] button to select a trigger parameter.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing habit.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly.
Lower sensitivity will keep the pad to producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
This setting avoids “crosstalk”, which means that when you play one pad you can hear a
sound coming from another pad. This can happen when two pads are installed on the
same stand.
In some cases you can prevent crosstalk by increasing the distance between the two
mounted pads.
For example: If you hit the snare pad and the tom 1 also sounds.
While striking the snare pad, gradually increase the “XTALK” value for the tom 1 pad until
the tom 1 pad no longer sounds when you hit the snare pad. If you raise the “XTALK”
higher, the tom 1 pad will be less prone to receive crosstalk from other pads.
Note: If the value is set too high, and two pads are played simultaneously, the one that is
struck less forcefully may not sound. Be careful and set this parameter to the minimum
value required to prevent crosstalk.
This setting allows you to control the relation between playing velocity (striking force) and
changes in volume. Adjust this curve until the response feels as natural as possible. Refer
to the CURVE description.
This setting avoids “re-triggering”, which means that when you strike a pad once, maybe
you can hear two hits coming from one strike. This can happen as the pad oscillate.
While repeatedly striking the pad, raise the “Retrig Cancel” value until re-triggering no
longer occurs.
Although setting this to a high value prevents re-triggering, it then becomes easy for
sounds to be omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). Set this to the lowest value
possible while still ensuring that there is no re-triggering.
