Making Connections Using a stereo phone cable q (included), connect the KP90's OUTPUT jack w to an appropriate input jack on a DTX Series drum trigger module. Be sure to connect the L-shaped end of the cable to the KP90. • On the drum trigger module, set the corresponding pad type as a kick pad. Setting of any other pad type may have unintended consequences such as double triggering (where a single strike produces two distinct sounds). For more details, refer to the Owner's Manual that came with the drum trigger module. • If using the KP90 as a standalone pad with no other pad connected to it, a mono phone cable can also be used to make this connection to the drum trigger module. q w  Connecting an additional pad The PAD INPUT jack e provided on the KP90 can be used to add an additional pad (sold separately). To do so, connect the output connector on the additional pad to the PAD INPUT jack e using a mono or stereo phone cable. • When connecting a drum trigger module and a KP90 having a pad connected via its PAD INPUT jack e, the most suitable jack will depend on the type of module being used. For more details, refer to the Owner's Manual that came with the drum trigger module. • When you hit a pad connected to the PAD INPUT jack e, only the main surface (head or pad on the snare/ tom pad, or bow on the hi-hat/cymbal pad) produce sound. No sound will be produced on any other section, such as the rim or edge. In addition, special functions using the rim switch (such as choking and muting) will not supported in such a case.

w
to an appropriate input jack on a DTX
Series drum trigger module. Be sure to connect the L-shaped end of the cable to the KP90.
On the drum trigger module, set the corresponding pad type as a kick pad. Setting of any other pad type
may have unintended consequences such as double triggering (where a single strike produces two dis-
tinct sounds). For more details, refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with the drum trigger module.
If using the KP90 as a standalone pad with no other pad connected to it, a mono phone cable can also be
used to make this connection to the drum trigger module.
Connecting an additional pad
The PAD INPUT jack
e
provided on the KP90 can be used to add an additional pad (sold separately). To do so, connect
the output connector on the additional pad to the PAD INPUT jack
e
using a mono or stereo phone cable.
When connecting a drum trigger module and a KP90 having a pad connected via its PAD INPUT jack
e
, the
most suitable jack will depend on the type of module being used. For more details, refer to the Owner’s
Manual that came with the drum trigger module.
When you hit a pad connected to the PAD INPUT jack
e
, only the main surface (head or pad on the snare/
tom pad, or bow on the hi-hat/cymbal pad) produce sound. No sound will be produced on any other sec-
tion, such as the rim or edge. In addition, special functions using the rim switch (such as choking and mut-
ing) will not supported in such a case.
