,1 OWNER'S MANUAL INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the YAMAHA Real Head Kick Pad KP120. The YAMAHA Real Head Kick Pad was developed as the bass drum trigger pad for use with an electric drum system. For its head, the kick pad utilizes Remo Coated Ambassador heads. The system delivers a richer, closer to acoustic feeling that extends greater expressive potential to the drummer. Just like a real, high quality acoustic drum, the shell is made of birch then covered with a clear finish. To get the most out of your YAMAHA Real Head Kick Pad KP120, please read this manual carefully. After reading, please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. I Handling Precautions • Do not disassemble (except for when replacing the head or a cushion as described in this manual) or alter the product. Doing so may result in damage or deterioration to the product. • Do not step on or place heavy objects on the product. It may result in damage. • Do not use or keep the product in places with extremely high temperature (places in direct sunlight, close to a heater, in a closed car, etc.) or damp (bathroom, outside on a rainy day, etc.). It may result in deformation, discoloration, damage or deterioration. • To clean the product, please wipe with a soft cloth or a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly. If the product is soiled, use a neutral detergent on a cloth then wipe with a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly to remove any remaining detergent. Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol as it may result in discoloration or deformation. Also pay close attention so as not to let the water and detergent come into contact with the cushions used in the product, it may result in deterioration. • When connecting and disconnecting cables, make sure you hold the cable by its plug. Also, please make sure you never place heavy or sharp objects on the cable. Excessive force applied to the cable may result in troubles such as shorted cables, etc. I Inside This Package Before setting up, please make sure that all of the items listed below are present and accounted for. If anything is missing, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased the unit. • KP120 Unit (including Leg x2, Riser x1) x1 KP120 Main Unit • Monaural Phone Cable (3m) x1 LEVEL Legs Legs Riser I Part Names (When Assembled) LEVEL Tuning Bolt Wing Bolt for Legs Legs Leg Rod Hoop Lug Drum Head Shell Bottom Cover OUTPUT Jack Leg Rubber Riser Adjustment Bolt Wing Bolt for Riser /FYU LEVEL LEVEL I Output Level (LEVEL) Adjustment Controls the trigger output level produced by the KP120. Turn the LEVEL adjustment to the right (+) to increase the level. Turn to the left (-) to decrease the level. Adjust the level according to the amount of strength you use when playing, the required dynamic range, or specific needs regarding the devices that you use. NOTE : When the KP120 is used with the DTXTREME/DTX/ DTXPRESS, the value on the Input Level display, found in the Trigger Edit Mode's [PAD GAIN] page, should be set somewhere between 90% and 95% when the pad is struck at ff. For more information, please refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with your DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS.If the Output Level is set too high, the dynamic range may be reduced, or result in problems such as double triggers (when a single stroke produces multiply triggered sounds). : Do not exert excessive force on the level adjustment knob. Doing so may result in damage. LEVEL Adjustment Knob To Increase the Sound Volume To change the volume of the sound assigned to the KP120, when the KP120 is used with the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS, first adjust the Output LEVEL as described previously, then use the (VOICE) EDIT mode to set the volume on the DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS. Please refer to the "Owner's Manual" supplied with your DTXTREME/DTX/DTXPRESS. I Replacing the Drum Head Just as on acoustic drums, the KP120's drum head will need to be replaced in time. When the head's condition deteriorates, please replace the head with a new head by yourself (we recommend Remo Coated Ambassador 12" drum heads). Other than the recommended drum head, you can use any drum head you prefer but, when a drum head that is different from the supplied or recommended drum head is used please understand that the feeling, sound, output level, etc. may be slightly different. NOTE : For sensing and sound dampening purposes, the KP120 utilizes a cushion that gives support to the drum head from within the pad. When replacing the drum head, make sure the cushions are positioned in the same manner as when the unit was shipped from the factory. The yellow cushion is placed on the bottom while the three gray cushions with holes are positioned so as the holes, other than the center hole, are staggered. Improper positioning of the cushions may alter the pad's feel, sound and output. $VTIJPOXJUIIPMFT (SBZ $VTIJPOʢ:FMMPXʣ I About Replacing Worn Parts (Cushion, etc.) • This product uses parts (drum head, cushion, Output Level Adjustment knob, output jacks, etc.) that will wear or deteriorate over time. How these parts wear or deteriorate will depend upon the environment, length of time, etc. that the device is used. • Please ask the dealer from whom you purchased the device about replacing the parts.
