Playing the Pads

If your electronic drum kit has velocity-sensitive pads, Turbo Drum Module will play sounds of

varying timbres depending on how hard you hit the pads. Try hitting the pads with different

amounts of force to experiment with the different sounds produced by the module!

The hi-hat sound will vary based on the position of the hi-hat controller pedal:

• Open hi-hat: With your foot off the pedal, hit the hi-hat pad.

• Closed hi-hat: With your foot pressing the pedal all the way down, hit the hi-hat

pad.

• Pedal close: Press the hi-hat pedal all the way down without hitting the hi-hat pad.

• Splash: Quickly press the hi-hat pedal all the way down, and then release it

immediately.

Learn more about using the drum module in the Operation section of this manual.

Connect the head of the included cable snake here

(multipin with two screws). Then connect the 1/4"

cables at the tail end of the cable snake to each pad

in your drum kit.
