The indicator light will show charging status.
2. Placement: Place the pedal on a stable, flat surface on the floor where it is comfortable for you to operate with your foot during performance.
3. Connection to Instrument: Connect the LAVA LIVE DRUMS PEDAL to your compatible LAVA instrument (e.g., LAVA ME guitar with L3 Smart System) using the appropriate cable (often the same magnetic connector cable used for charging, or a dedicated data cable, depending on your instrument model).

6. Operating Instructions

The LAVA LIVE DRUMS PEDAL provides real-time control over drum functions within your LAVA instrument's ecosystem. The exact functionality of each button may vary slightly depending on the firmware version of your instrument and pedal, and any custom settings you have configured.

6.1 Basic Button Functions

• RESET: Press this button to immediately stop the current drum pattern and return to a default or silent state.
• BREAK: Tap this button to insert a drum break or fill into the ongoing rhythm. The duration and style of the break are typically pre-programmed or customizable within your LAVA instrument.
• OUTRO: Activates a pre-defined outro sequence, bringing the drum track to a natural conclusion.
• FINISH: Stops all drum playback and ends the performance.
• A, B, C: These buttons are typically assigned to trigger different drum patterns, loops, or sound effects. Refer to your LAVA instrument's software settings to customize their functions. A short press usually activates, while a long press might offer alternative functions or settings.
• TAP: Use this button to set the tempo of the drum patterns by tapping it rhythmically. Tap it at least two or three times to establish a new tempo. It may also serve other rhythmic functions depending on the instrument's mode.

6.2 Customization

The LAVA LIVE DRUMS PEDAL is designed to integrate seamlessly with LAVA instruments. Many functions, especially those assigned to buttons A, B, and C, can be customized through the settings menu of your connected LAVA guitar or other compatible device. Consult your instrument's user manual for detailed instructions on customizing pedal functions.
