You risk damaging speakers or other equipment if you make connections while the power is ON. After everything has been connected, use the cable ties or cable clips (supplied with MDS-7U) to fix the cables to the drum stand. * To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. * Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Use of any other power adaptor could result in damage, malfunction or electric shock. Connect the Pads to the TD-7 using the cables supplied with PD-7 or PD-9 (with stereo 1/4"phone plugs). AC adaptor cord around the cord hook as show below. This way, you can prevent the plug from being accidentally pulled out (or from being tugged over at an unsuitable angle, which can damage the jack). Stereo Headphones Stereo Casette Player To connect with the AUX IN jack, use a cable that does not include a resistor. Amplifier Speaker 6 Playing the Pads First, turn ON the TD-7, then turn on all the connected units. * After you turn on the TD-7's power, vou need to wait until the Patch Plav screen is displayed before hitting anv Pads or stepping on anv pedals. If you start playing before this screen has appeared, the sound you obtain might be softer than you would normally expect, or might be wrong altogether. Should you encounter this problem, you will need to turn the power OFF, then ON again, and then wait until the Patch Play screen is displayed. rt 1 Burn! IJ i PGM# 65 You can now start playing the Pads (and depressing the pedals) to check out how your new kit sounds. By hitting the Hi-Hat pad while you depress the Hi-Hat Control Pedal, you can express the range of sound between open and closed hi-hats. You can also step on the Hi-Hat Control Pedal alone to obtain a pedal hi-hat sound. On the TD-7, a "Patch" is a group of settings that determines what instrument sounds are assigned to which Pads, and certain details about the way the sounds are to be produced. All you need to do is select a Patch number, and you can instantly obtain the whole group of settings it provides. Try out some of the unit's 32 different Patches (see next page). Be sure that the Patch Play screen is displayed. If the display does not show the Patch Play screen, press [EXIT] until it is shown. To change to another Patch number, press the [< ] or /> J button. You can also select Patches by rotating the [DATA] dial. 7 Playing the Pads By using a PD-7 or PD-9, you will be obtain rim-shot and choke (abrupt mute of the sound) style effects. Next, try the Rim Shot effect. To produce a rim shot, you need to strike both the pad and the rim of the pad at the same time. You won't obtain the right sound if you hit only the rim. * The Rim Shot effect cannot be obtained using the PD-5. cChoke effect (for PD-7 or PD-9)> The Choke effect is obtained by grasping the rim of a pad immediately after you hit it, thus silencing the sound right after it has been produced. * The Choke effect cannot be obtained using the PD-5.
