position sensor connected to the [
i
RIDE] jack), you can create natural tonal changes according to the location within the
Zone.
Bow shots
Striking the main surface of the cymbal pad (i.e., the bow section located between the
cup and edge) produces a bow shot sound.

tonal changes according to the location within the Zone.
