2 Safety notes
Drum modules are intended to be used for converting digital trigger signals from
drum pads to various percussion sounds. Use the unit only as described in this
manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be
improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be
assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intel‐
lectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
With loudspeakers or headphones connected, the device can produce
volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impair‐
ment.
Do not operate the device permanently at a high volume level.
Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in
your ears or hearing impairment.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage,
never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,

NOTICE!
External power supply
The device is powered by an external power supply. Before connecting
the external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is pro‐
tected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly the user.
Unplug the external power supply before electrical storms occur and
when the device is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.

the legs are resting flush on the floor. Then tighten the retaining screws.
3 Position the holder clamps for the individual pads. Then tighten the
retaining screws.
4 Turn the L-rods into a suitable position for mounting the pads. Then
tighten the retaining screws.
5 Insert the crash pad, ride pad and hi-hat pad supports into the respective
holder clamps on the rack. Secure the supports at the desired vertical
position using the retaining screws.
6 Loosen the retaining screws at the support joints and orient the supports

8.2 Playing the pads
The bass drum, snare, hi-hat and cymbals of an analog drum set are replaced by pads
here. When you strike a pad, an integrated trigger produces the previously assigned
voice via the drum module. The harder you hit a pad, the louder the sound produced.
Tom pads have only one trigger and must be hit in the center in order to produce a
sound.
Crash and ride pads have only one trigger and must be hit in the slightly thicker
rubber-coated zone to produce a sound.

The crash pad can be muted with the hand just like an analog cymbal (choke func‐
tion).
The snare pad has two triggers: the center trigger produces the typical snare sound,
while the rim trigger produces rim shots.
The bass drum pad has only one trigger and must be hit in the center to produce a
sound.
n You produce a closed hi-hat sound by keeping the hi-hat pedal depressed while
hitting the hi-hat
n You produce an open hi-hat sound by not pressing the hi-hat pedal while hitting
the hi-hat
n An open hi-hat sound changes smoothly to a closed hi-hat sound when you start
pressing the hi-hat pedal while hitting the hi-hat.

10 Connector and pin assignments
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable
equipment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated:
Even if a plug fits into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed
power amp, a short circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hifi
use. Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical rep‐
resentatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding
while the signal is transmitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at
low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.
In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred,
because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In
addition to the conductors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second
core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.
Since the interference affects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted
signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal
without any noise interference.
