6.2 Selecting and adjusting drum kits
A drum kit is a compilation in which a certain sound (Voice) and several sound
parameters are assigned to each pad. Selecting dierent drum kits lets you customise
the sound of your drum kit in seconds to the desired music genre. Besides the 30 pre‐
programmed drum kits you can also create, customise and save 10 user drum kits.
When the device is not used it automatically shuts o after 30 minutes.
Selecting a drum kit

To select a certain drum kit, proceed as follows:
1. Press [KIT/VOICE].
The current kit name and kit number are displayed.
ð
2. Use the arrow buttons ([<] / [>]) or the jog wheel to select the desired kit.
The setting is automatically stored.

1. Hold down [KIT/VOICE] for about 2 seconds.
The current Voice name and Voice number are displayed.
ð
2. Strike the pad whose Voice you want to change.
The name of the current pad is displayed.
ð
3. Use the arrow buttons ([<] / [>]) or the jog wheel to select the desired voice.
The setting is automatically stored.
Like on an acoustic drum kit, the pads respond to dierent playing techniques and
dynamics. All pads are velocity sensitive. Some voices change their timbre
depending on the punch used.
n Drums
With the snare drum we distinguish between Head and Rimshot.
– Head
Strike the head only.
– Rimshot
Simultaneously strike the head and the rim or only the rim of the pad.
n Cymbals
We distinguish the following cymbal zones:
– Bow
Play in the area between the edge and the bell of the cymbal.
– Choke
Choke Play is possible with Crash and Ride cymbals but not with the Hi-hat.
To do so, stop the sound of the Crash and Ride cymbals with the hand at the
edge of the cymbal immediately after hitting it.
n Hi-hat
With the Hi-hat we distinguish between Hi-hat pedal change, open Hi-Hat,
closed Hi-hat, Hi-hat pedal and Splash.
– Hi-hat pedal change
When the pedal is pressed in dierent positions, the voice changes when hit‐
ting the Hi-hat pad (similar to an acoustic drum kit).
– Open Hi-hat
Strike the Hi-hat pad without pressing the pedal.
– Closed Hi-hat
Strike the Hi-hat pad with fully pressed pedal.
– Hi-Hat pedal
Press the Hi-hat controller pedal to generate a closed sound without striking
the Hi-hat pad.
– Splash
Play the Hi-hat with fully pressed pedal and then open it suddenly.

sion and melody). The volume of both parts can be adjusted separately.

cessively produced when
playing a pad. This eect can
i.a. be caused by irregular
waveforms especially in the
decaying of the trigger. With
this parameter, these distor‐
tions can be suppressed. The
higher the value is, the higher
the likelihood that rapidly suc‐
cessive strikes - such as in a
drum roll - are no longer
detected. So the value should
be set as low as possible.

Introduction
Balanced and unbalanced transmis‐
sion
1/4" TS phone plug (mono, unbal‐
anced)
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 ts 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 hi
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 aects 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.

9 Cleaning
Cleaning
Device components
Clean the externally accessible device parts regularly. The frequency of cleaning
depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surround‐
ings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the device parts.
n Clean with a soft dry cloth.
n Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth.
n Never use cleaners containing alcohol or thinner.
n Do not place vinyl objects on the device, as vinyl may stick to the surface or
cause it to discolour.
