Precautions Location Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction. • In direct sunlight • Locations of extreme temperature or humidity • Excessively dusty or dirty locations • Locations of excessive vibration • Close to magnetic fields Power supply Please connect the designated AC adapter to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not connect it to an AC outlet of voltage other than that for which your unit is intended.

Cautions for use Each individual WAVEDRUM unit will differ slightly depending on the type of head used, how it is tuned or played, and how it has been maintained. Please take note of the following points as well as the preceding “Cautions for safety.” About the documentation How the documentation is organized If pressure is applied to the surface of the head for a long period, the rubber cushion and sensor under the head will become deformed, and this can harm the playability of the instrument.
PAGE 4
Introduction Main features The WAVEDRUM generates sound by detecting the sound of your strike via the head and rim sensors, and processing this audio source by DSP (Digital Signal Processing) sound synthesis technology to create unique sounds. At the same time, a PCM sound source is also played using your strike as the trigger. Using this combination of methods, the WAVEDRUM produces a rich variety of percussion sounds that give you an extremely wide range of freedom for performance expression.

Preparations Connecting audio devices Connecting the output jacks to powered monitors or a mixer • Connect the WAVEDRUM’s OUTPUT L, R jacks to the input jacks of your powered monitors or mixer. If you’re monitoring through headphones, connect your headphones to the WAVEDRUM’s headphone jack. The VOLUME knob adjusts the L & R OUTPUT as well as the headphone volume. 3. Press the WAVEDRUM’s power button to turn it on. When powering-on the WAVEDRUM, do not rest your hand or any other object on the head.
PAGE 7
Performing Performance techniques The sound of the WAVEDRUM will respond to the subtle nuances in the way that you strike, rub, or scratch it with your fingers or hand, or the way that you strike it with a stick, mallet, or brush. It will also respond differently depending on whether you strike the center of the head, the edge, or the rim.

Editing Basic editing procedure 1 WRITE The [E1], [E2], or [G] indicator at the right of the BANK/MODE button will blink. 2. Select the page that you want to edit. Press the BANK/MODE button. Press the button until the desired page appears. Alternatively, you can turn the VALUE knob to select a page. For example if you press the BANK/MODE button in Edit 1 mode, the page will change in the order of Tune ( t u n )  Decay ( d c Y )  Level ( L E U )  ... (See PG page 3). 3.
PAGE 9
Saving your edited settings If you would like to use your edited program again later, you’ll need to save it. If you’ve edited a program and then power-off or switch to a different program without saving it, the changes that you made will be lost. Changes you make to the settings of Global mode will also be lost if you power-off without saving. After editing, be sure to save your changes if you want to keep them. Never turn off the power while data is being saved. Doing so may harm the memory.

Français Deutsch Program structure for single-size algorithms (See QS page v) Single-size algorithms use two algorithms for each program. These algorithms are used for the head and the rim. Programs that use a single-size algorithm also allow you to use PCM instruments (PCM sound sources) for the head and the rim.
PAGE 11
Appendix Restoring the factory settings Here’s how to return the WAVEDRUM’s programs (preset and user), Live mode, and Global mode settings to their factory default state. You can choose to restore either of the following two types of data. a) Program and Live mode data b) All data (Programs, Live mode, Global mode) When you execute these operations, all of the corresponding data will be rewritten to the factory default settings. Be aware that all the settings you’ve made will be lost.
