SAMPLER PAD USER MANUAL V1.10

IMPORTANT NOTES!

POWER SUPPLY
· Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
· The AC adapter will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
· Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

PLACEMENT
· Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
· This device may interfere with radio and television reception, Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
· Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
· When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/ or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition, Therefore, before using the unit. you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

MAINTENANCE
· For everyday cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
· Never use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
· Please be aware that the unit’s memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction or the improper operation of the unit.
· Please take care when using the unit’s buttons or other controls, and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
· Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
· When connecting/disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself-never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
· To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you.

· Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at night and when using headphones.
· When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
· Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit, The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear.

EXT CTRL On: Only output MIDI codes for external use, without playing tones; Off: Play tones while outputting MIDI codes; When this parameter is set to ON, all triggers only output MIDI codes, and the EXT CTRL set in KIT SET-MIDI will no longer take effect.
SOFT THRU When this function is turned on, the received MIDI code will be sent out.
PC SW The Program Change command support. After turning on the function, different sound kits will be switched when receiving PC commands. MIDI CH = GLOBAL CH.
CC SW Support receiving and sending the encoded numerical MIDI codes of the FX knobs.
FX CTRL1 CC MIDI code value of the FX knob. MIDI channel is GLOBAL.
PAD SETUP
This menu can adjust specific parameters of the trigger. Use [F1] and [F2] to switch pages; use the [ ]/[ ] buttons or the trigger you want to set to switch; use the [+]/[-] buttons or SCROLL WHEEL to modify the value.
SENSITIVITY Adjusts the sensitivity of the trigger. A higher sensitivity will produce a louder volume even if you tap lightly; a lower sensitivity will not produce a louder volume even if you tap hard. Range: 1-32
MASK TIME This setting will adjust the time interval between two triggers of the same trigger to prevent false triggers. If the second tap force is greater than the previous force, the mask time will no longer take effect. When you play (especially the bass drum), the hammer head will bounce back and hit the pad again, which will generate two trigger signals. Adjusting the hiding time can effectively reduce the occurrence of this situation.

MASK TIME
TIME
SOUND NOT PRODUCED
Adjustment method: When striking the trigger, make the hammer head rebound and strike quickly, then gradually increase the value until the hammer head rebounds without making any sound. Setting the value too high is not conducive to fast performance; if it is used for fast performance, the value should be adjusted as low as possible. Range: 1-32
RETRIG LEVEL This setting will adjust the velocity range between two triggers of the same trigger within a short period of time to prevent repeated triggering or missing sounds. If the second strike is stronger than the previous one, the re-trigger level will no longer take effect. When you strike a trigger (especially a PAD trigger), the device will vibrate, and the amplitude of the vibration may produce additional triggering effects.
TIME
As shown in the figure, vibration A will produce additional triggering effects. By adjusting the value of the re-trigger level, repeated triggering can be avoided. Adjustment method: When repeated triggering occurs too much, increase this value until repeated triggering does not occur. If you tap twice in a row and the second tap is weak, the second tap may be lost. Reduce this value until the sound is no longer lost. Range: 1-10.
ANTI-CROSS This parameter is to reduce the false triggering caused by the vibration of the device between different triggers or the sound loss caused by the simultaneous tapping of different triggers. When tapping PAD 1, PAD 2 may be triggered due to the vibration of the machine (the vibration amplitude is related to the force of the tapping, the degree of screw tightening, the placement of the device, etc.). At this time, the anti-crosstalk value of PAD 2 can be increased to avoid this situation; when PAD 1 and 2 are hit at the same time, if the force of PAD 1 is large, PAD 2 may be considered as a false touch and cause sound loss.

19

At this time, the anticrosstalk value of pad B can be reduced to avoid this situation. Adjustment method: The higher the value, the lower the probability of false triggering of pad B when tapping pad A; The lower the value, the lower the probability of sound loss when tapping pads A and B at the same time. The anti-crosstalk setting can be adjusted in conjunction with the sensitivity and threshold value.
CURVE Velocity response curve, this setting can change the velocity value of the trigger output at different velocities.
Linear Standard mode, the mode with the most natural changes in tapping force and volume.
VOLUME
TAPPING FORCE Log Soft mode, lighter tapping will produce greater changes.
VOLUME
TAPPING FORCE Exp Heavy strike mode. A heavier strike will produce a greater change.
VOLUME
TAPPING FORCE Max In extreme mode, different intensities will no longer produce changes.
