When you power on the drum module, it will always start in Kit Mode. Kits Selecting Kits To select a kit: 1. Press Kit to enter Kit Mode (the default view when you power on the drum module). 2. Turn the data dial to scroll through the available kits. The name of each kit will appear in the display. 3. When you reach the desired kit, stop turning the data dial for a second to load the kit. Important: Your Strike module can load large amounts of high-quality samples-and you don't have to wait until it's done loading to start playing. You can start playing immediately as the drum module continues to load samples "in the background," shown by the Streaming indicator. 7
