SD7K User’s Manual

digital drum kit

• All the drum pads and cymbal pads use a single trigger sensor for the whole pad, except the dual-zone snare pad that

uses one trigger for the head and another trigger for the rim.

• All the pads are velocity sensitive. Some voices can change sounds depending on the velocity level (striking force).

• The trigger area of the cymbal pads (ride, crash or hi-hat) is near the edge of the pad.

• Similar to an acoustic drum kit, the Hi-Hat sound varies depending on the position of the pedal (Hi-Hat Control):

• Open Hi-Hat: Strike the hi-hat pad without pressing the pedal

• Half Open Hi-Hat: Strike the hi-hat pad with the pedal pressed half-way

• Closed Hi-Hat: Strike the hi-hat pad with the pedal pressed all the way down

• Foot Close: Press the pedal all the way down

• Splash: Step fully on the pedal and release it immediately

metronome

The SD7K includes a Metronome feature with two types of sounds: Click (Bell sound

on the rst beat, and click sound on the other beats) or Vocal Counting (“one”, “two”,

“three”, “four”, …).

Press the [CLICK] button to start the metronome with Click sound.

Press the [CLICK] button a second time to change the metronome to Vocal Counting.

Press the [CLICK] button again to stop the metronome.

While the metronome is playing, the Beat indicator ashes at the current tempo.

While the metronome is playing, the LED shows the current time signature.

The time signature of the metronome can be changed using the [+] and [-] buttons.

There are ve available options: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/8.

The SD7K returns to the previous display when the metronome is stopped.

Press the [Tempo +] or [Tempo -] buttons to change the tempo (30 ~ 280). The LED

shows the current tempo and returns to the previous display after about 2 seconds if

there is no operation of the Tempo [+] and [-] buttons.

The volume of the metronome can be adjusted by holding down the [CLICK] button

and pressing the [+] or [-] buttons. The LED shows “Cxx” (xx = metronome volume:

0 ~ 16), and returns to the previous display about 2 seconds after releasing the

[CLICK] button. The metronome volume resets to its default value when turning

off the SD7K.
