Features
410 Sounds
Sound selection is made easy thanks to sound category Groups
or Alphabetical listing.
Specially Selected Effects
Ambience (5 Types) and a choice from on-board Multi Effects
(20 types) can be used at the same time.
Friendly Interface
The large, custom LCD lets you easily view various functions
and information. The panel buttons and the friendly interface
make modifying a kit a very simple process. The Control knob
gives you instant editing access. The Preset Kit buttons give you
quick access to 5 specially selected kits and 5 of your favorite
kits.
Pads and Expandability
10 velocity sensitive and pressure reactive pads. 2 of these
pads also feature positional sensing. The D Beam can be used
for triggering and controlling sounds and effects. The stereo
input for external triggers lets you have a choice to use optional
kick triggers, a head/rim capable pad, cymbal pads or foot
switches (with multi-functions possible).
Play With External Audio Sources
The mix in allows one to connect external audio sources, ideal
for playing along with CDs or for connecting external sound
modules.
For Improving Techniques
In addition to normal metronome functions, the HandSonic 10
includes a unique Style Guide Metronome, featuring a wide
range of rhythmical categories; perfect for learning, practicing
and performing.
The Coach Mode's functions include Time Check, Rhythm
Check and Pad Follow. These exercises will challenge you and
help you to improve your technique.
Set Up & Portability
Lightweight and compact, the HandSonic 10 mounts easily on
the optional PDS-10 stand, (recommended) or on a cymbal
stand when using the APC-33.
This Manual
This manual should be read carefully as it will not only explain
WHAT is possible, but will guide you in a friendly way so you
can understand HOW to use the on-board sounds, functions
and the potential of the incorporated technology.
Demo Songs
To hear some of the HandSonic 10’s possibilities, we have incorporated 5 different demo songs.
KIT Button
1.
Press the [CONGA] button (or any of the 5 Preset Kit buttons) and hold it down for 2 seconds.
The demo song will start to play.
If you press the [CONGA] button again, the demo song will re-start from the beginning.
If you press any of the other Preset Kit buttons, the demo songs assigned to those will play.
You can also use the [+]/[-] buttons to change songs.
2.
To stop the demo, press [KIT] button.
While the demo song is playing, all pads are disabled. Also, the kit being played in the demo song may not
be the same as indicated by the button name.

Turning the Power On/Off

Basic Operations
Make sure the volume controls on the HandSonic 10, and any connected devices are set to “0.” Then turn
on the device connected to the MIX IN Jack. Turn on the HandSonic 10’s power switch. As there is a built-in
protection circuit, it will take a few seconds before you see the kit name appear in the display. Until that
time, Do NOT touch any pad, or use the D BEAM. Turn on the device connected to the output jacks. Then
adjust the respective volume settings.
When turning the HandSonic off, turn down all respective volumes before turning off the power.

The 5 Preset kit Buttons, [1]–[5], will take you to the indicated kits. These 5 kits can NOT be modified, as
they are separate from the 64 user kits. Using the [+]/[-] buttons will let you scroll only through those 5 kits.
To return to the user kits, press [KIT]. However, when used in combination with the [SHIFT] button, they can
be used to quickly jump to your own pre-determined selection. How to make settings for this function will be
explained further on. We’ll use a few of these kits to help you get to know the HandSonic.

Basic Editing
In order to understand the possibilities of the various editing functions, there are a few basic points you must
take into consideration. These will help save you time, and avoid frustration whether this is your first
electronic musical instrument or not. Any changes you make are automatically registered as there is no
“write” function. Taking that into consideration, we recommend that you explore the editing process first by
using one of the 5 preset kits shown here. The reason we suggest this is because these kits are pre-set. You
can edit them temporarily, but once you change the kit, they automatically return to their factory settings.

While tapping one of the pads, use the [+]/[-] buttons or the Control knob, and you will not only hear what
is happening to the sound, but the Value meter on the right hand side of the display will indicate how much
muffling is being applied, as well as the numerical values in the display.
If you want to apply the same amount of muffling to all sounds in the kit, while holding down the [SHIFT]
button press the CONTROL knob.

you don’t hear a difference in the sound of the right pad, press a little harder on the left pad.
You will hear how the pressure placed on one pad can mute the sound of another, very useful when playing
congas or bongos etc. This is an example of the “mute” function, and demonstrates pad interactivity and
control. The [+]/[-] buttons or Control knob can be used for on/off switching.
7.
Now play the right pad once, and use the [+]/[-] button or Control knob to turn “Rx Mute” to
“OFF.”

Use the [+]/[-] buttons or the Control knob, and set it to -1200.
When using the [+]/[-] buttons for data entry, by holding down [SHIFT] and then pressing either of the
buttons, the increments/decrements move much quicker.
Or just turn the Control knob quickly to the left, to get to the -1200 position.
6.
Now pass your hand over the D Beam quickly and at close
range, and you will hear the sound bend.
7.
Then move your hand over the D Beam, and once the sound is
heard, move your hand up and down, to hear how you are
controlling the sound.
8.
Try this:
While you can still see <Rx Pitch> -1200 in the display, tap once the
large pad on the left and set this also to -1200. Now, while tapping the
pad with your left hand, place your right hand above the D Beam, and
then slowly lower your hand. Here you can see how the D Beam can
control the pitch of sounds assigned to other pads.
* Remember, the D Beam is sensitive to the light in the space where
you are playing it. See p. 25 for adjustments to the D Beam.
*Actual infrared beam is invisible.
