Connections
To supply power, connect the included AC adapter to the DC IN jack or connect a mobile battery to the USB port.
To hear the sound, connect headphones to the headphone jack or connect the line-out jacks to a powered speaker or
PA (P.6).
How to press the buttons
When pressing the panel buttons, press
lightly inward from the outside of the
panel (right or left) in the direction of the
arrows (toward the inside of the panel).
Turning the power on
Place the aFrame in the orientation in
which you want to play it, then hold down
the POWER button until the circumfer-
ence of the encoder in the middle of the
panel is lit green. Once it is green, release
the POWER button and the power-on pro-
cess will complete.
When the following screen appears in the display,
the aFrame is ready to play (Play mode).
Important
During the power-on process, the "zero-point" of the pressure sensor is calibrated. Hold the aFrame in the desired
playing position and don’t touch the striking surface until the instrument is in Play mode.
If you continue holding down the POWER button, all LEDs are lit yellow, the display shows the aFrame's version
number, and operation halts. Normally you should release the POWER button when the circumference of the encod-
er is lit green.
Before you start playing
Hold down
the POWER button
until this is lit green,
then release.
