Your drum module is USB class-compliant. This means you can plug it into a USB class-compliant host (for example, a laptop, tablet or smartphone) and it should be recognized immediately. There are no drivers to install, you simply plug n' play. For example, if you connect the drum module to a computer, you can trigger drum libraries on the computer or record your performance into a MIDI sequencing application. Check the operation and setup instructions for the software you intend to use for more details.

Switch the Power On
With everything set up and ready to go, it's time to start playing the drum kit. Locate the on/off power switch on the drum module and switch the power on. The drum module is ready to operate when the display shown below appears. This is the location from which you select the drum kit you want to play or edit.
Next, connect headphones or a speaker system as described on the previous two pages. Start with the MASTER VOLUME set to MIN and press the [Start/Stop] button on the drum module. Gradually increase the volume until you hear a song playing through your speaker system or headphones. If you hear no sound, please check all of the cables connecting the drum module to your speakers and repeat the procedure. When the levels are set to a comfortable level, press the [Start/Stop] button again to stop the song.
Once you have established that your sound system or headphones are connected correctly to the drum module, play each of the pads, cymbals, and kick and hi-hat pedals. You should hear a sound for every hit. If one pad or cymbal does not play a sound, check the cable connection from that pad to the sound module.
With everything set up and the kit sounding from all pads, it time to start playing. When you are ready to learn more about your new drum system, pick up the manual again and continue with the next page.
