Assembling the rack

Take out four pads from the packing case and attach the pad

with the hole on the backside on the rod. When you have

found a comfortable position for every pad please tighten the

wing screw.

Insert the module into the rack clamp on the middle tube and

tighten the wing screw.

Position the three cymbals in their places on the long rods

and tighten their wing screws.

To assemble the bassdrum you only need to insert the bea-

ter into the bracket and tighten the bolt with the included

wrench,

Take out the drum rack from the box, open the stand and

adjust every part as shown in the ﬁgure.

Take out four pads from the packing case and attach to the

rod mounts. When you have found a comfortable position

for every pad tighten the wing screws.

To assemble the bass drum you only need to insert

the beater into the bracket and tighten the bolt with the

included wrench.

Part 1: Assembly instruction

Connect the pads with the module by using the cables which are labelled with the according pad and jack label. The ﬁgure shows

Connecting the pads to the drum-module

CAUTION!

To prevent electric shock and damage to the devices, make sure the power is switched OFF on the drum module and all

related devices before making any connection.

Connect the pads to the module by using the cables which are labelled with the according pad and jack label. The figure shows the

positions and names of the pads.

Before you start playing .

Placement

The instrument should not be used or placed in dusty, damp, very cold or very warm environments and it should not be exposed to direct

sunlight or vibrations.

Interference

The instrument should not be used near fluorescent lamps or other sources of electrical interference. To avoid interference to the mi-

croprocessors inside the instrument, do not use the instrument close to radios, TV‘s etc. In case the instrument does not work properly,

please switch it off and then switch it back on again after a few seconds.

Handle the Instrument Carefully

Never use unnecessary force when playing the drum kit or pressing down the pedals. Keep the instrument from falling over or being

dropped.

Caring and Cleaning

Keep the instrument clean by wiping the surface with a dry folded cloth. Do not use coarse cleaning cloths, organic solvents or com-

bustible fluids.

Foreign Objects

Do not place liquid filled vases, vessels or glasses on the instrument. Spilled liquids can cause the instrument to short circuit or catch

fire. This can cause irreparable damage to the instrument.

When choosing the reset-function (rES) you will immedi-

ately reset the chosen preset drum kit back to the factory

parameters.

Part 5: Conﬁguring the dru

kit

 Sen - Sensitivity

Sensitivity adjusts the touch sensitivity of the pads in a range

between 01 – 08. With this function you can take inﬂuence on

the reaction of the pad, when you produce intended or unin-

tended doublebeats (double trigger). The higher the value, the

more precise the pad reacts. If you want to play fast strokes

for example, you should adjust a higher sensitivity value. Edit

the value with +/--buttons. Press ENTER to conﬁrm (or BACK

to cancel).

 Thr - Threshold

Threshold allows a trigger signal to be received only when

the force struck on the pad is above a determined force level

(velocity). Therefore the pad doesn‘t produce sound when the

pad is struck lightly and a high value is adjusted. The range is

between 000 – 050 and can be edited by pressing +/-. Press

ENTER to conﬁrm (or BACK to cancel).

Normal Easy Dynamic

 CUr - Velocity Curve

The Velocity Curve (CUr) adjusts the dynamic range of the

pads.

nor (normal) – Is deﬁned as a curve in which the level of the

sound develops linear to the force of attack. The harder the

attack, the louder the sound.

ESY (easy) – Is deﬁned as a curve which makes it easier to

play loudly. The curve generates higher velocities for less

force.

dyn (dynamic) – Is deﬁned as a curve which makes it easy

to play quietly. The curve generates lower velocities for hard

force.

fId (ﬁxed) – Means that regardless of how hard you play, the

pad will transmit always the same level of velocity.

Press ENTER to conﬁrm (or BACK

to cancel).

 TAL - Crosstalk

When hitting a pad very strong the vibration of the rack or

other inﬂuences may cause another pad to sound unwantedly.

This phenomenon can be eliminated by using a higher value

from the range 000 to 050 (choose with +/-).

 CoP - Copy

With this function you can copy the settings Sen, THr, Cur,

TAL from the currently chosen pad to another one, in order to

use the same settings here.

Press SETUP, use +/- to select trG.

Sensitivity adjusts the touch sensitivity of the pads in a

range between 01 – 08. With this function you can influ-

ence the reaction of the pad, when you produce intended

or unintended double beats (double trigger). The higher the

value, the more precise the pad reacts. If you want to play

fast strokes for example, you should adjust a higher sensi-

tivity value. Edit the value with +/- buttons. Press ENTER to

confirm (or BACK to cancel). fId (fixed)– Means that regardless of how hard you play, the

pad will always transmit the same level of velocity.

When hitting a pad very hard the vibration of the rack

or other influences may cause another unwanted pad to

sound. This phenomenon can be eliminated by using a

higher value from the range 000 to 050 (choose with +/-).

Part 5: Conﬁguring the drum kit

Press ENTER, use +/- to select PAd.

Press ENTER, use +/- to choose the source pad.

Press ENTER, use +/- to choose CoP.

Press ENTER to copy (or BACK

to cancel).

Copying has ﬁnished and the

target pad now responds like the

source pad.

You can press BACK at any time to cancel the whole process

and jump back to the last level.

 rES - Reset

With a reset you erase all the trigger-settings and set them

back to the factory parameters.

Press SETUP, use +/- to select trG.

Press ENTER, use +/- to select PAD.

Press ENTER, use +/- to choose rES.

Press ENTER to reset directly

(or BACK to cancel).

Now the settings are recovered.

ATTENTION: There will not be a conﬁrmation message; the

drumset will be resetted directly!

 4. Effects adjustments

Adding effects to the drumsound can produce a very different

atmosphere. Especially if you are playing with headphones

and you have no real “room sound”, adding a slight reverb

effect can help to make the sound more realistic.

With reset you erase all the trigger-settings and set them

back to the factory parameters.

 5. MIDI Setup

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-stan-

dard communication interface that allows MIDI compatible

musical instruments and equipment to share musical infor-

mation and control one another. This makes it possible to

create “systems“ of MIDI instruments and equipment that

offer far greater versatility and control than is available with

isolated instruments. The soundmodul can send and receive

MIDI data over the USB-port.

 MIDI channel

You can choose one of the 16 MIDI channels on which the

data is transferred.

Press SETUP, use +/- to select trC.

Press ENTER, use +/- to select channel (001 – 016; oFF).

Press ENTER to reset directly

(or BACK to cancel).

 Local On/Off

The parameter “Local” turns on or off the internal sound of the

module. This can be helpful to delink the MIDI data transfer

from producing the drumsounds. If Local is on the module

sends and receives all MIDI data and simultaneously produ-

ces the according sounds when playing the pads. By adjusting

the parameter to oFF you will not hear any pad-sounds but

send out the data produced.

Press SETUP, use +/- to select LoC.

Press ENTER, use +/- to select on (on) or off (oFF).

Press ENTER to reset directly

(or BACK to cancel).

ATTENTION: There will not be a confirmation message; the

effects will be reset directly!
