The top row of nine buttons (Conga thru cabasa) are for selection of MIDI channels - the first 8 are numbers 1 to 8,
the ninth button (cabasa) will add 8 to the channel if pressed immediately prior to one of the buttons 1 to 8, thereby
allowing selection of channels 9 to 16.
On the bottom row, CONGA▼ selects Receive channel mode, TOM▼ selects Transmit channel mode , SNARE
selects Receive channel OFF, BASS selects receive channel ON, HI-HAT selects disable MIDI stop/start receive,
COWBELL selects enable MIDI stop/start receive, CLAVE selects Continue=Start OFF, TAMB selects
Continue=Start ON, and CABASA will just return you to the normal operating state.
So the sequence of events for setting a MIDI channel is :-
Red push button (short press)
then Receive or Transmit mode select
then optionally the Add 8 button (for channels 9-16)
then one of the first 8 buttons on the top row to select a channel.
The selected channel will be stored in memory and you will be returned to normal playing mode.
If you want to make another selection, you will need to press the red push button again.
As an example - to get transmit channel 5 and receive channel 10.
1) Press the red button (short press)
2) Press TOM▼ [bottom row of buttons] (Transmit Channel Mode)
3) Press hihat [top row of buttons] (channel 5)
Transmit channel 5 is now set and stored.
4) Press the red button again (short press)
5) Press CONGA▼ [bottom row of buttons] (Receive Channel Mode)
6) Press cabasa [top row ] (adds 8 to the following channel)
7) Press TOM▲ [top row ] (channel 10 including the added 8)
Receive channel 10 is now set and stored.
For all the other feature buttons (SNARE thru TAMB) you only need to press the red button (short press) followed by
the required button. The selected feature will be stored in memory and you will be returned to normal playing mode.
For example to select Receive channel OFF:-
1) Press the red button (short press)
2) Press SNARE [bottom row of buttons] (Receive Channel OFF)
Note that after the red button has been pressed, the drum sound buttons will all sound cabasa to confirm when they
have been pressed.
All of the features on this page features can be selected instead by using a remote MIDI keyboard.
Press the red button (short press), then press the appropriate key on the remote MIDI keyboard to select the feature
you want. The selected channel or feature will be stored in memory and you will be returned to normal playing
mode. If you want to make another selection, you will need to press the red push button again. If you press a key
which has not been assigned a use, you will still be returned to normal playing mode and will need to press the red
button again to make your intended selection.
