User manual MORLEY PEDALS MTM

[. . . ] Most of all, we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it. The TimeMaster should be considered a necessary addition to the ever popular metronome. [. . . ] 4) Affix TimeMaster (D) to visible cymbal stand or optional stand (E). 5) Plug in power adapter (Morley's 9 volt 300 mA regulated adapter, center pin negative) or install 9 volt battery into TimeMaster via battery compartment located on back of unit. 6) Plug Conditioner (C) into "SENSOR IN" jack located on bottom right corner of TimeMaster (D). 7) Turn on TimeMaster (D) via "ON/OFF SENSITIVITY" knob located on top right corner of unit. 8) Adjust "ON/OFF SENSITIVITY" control while hitting snare drum with drumstick (make sure you hit snare with same force as you would while playing) so the LED readout shows a consistent pulse being read. The pulse will appear as three dots at the bottom right corner of each LED display. HOW DOES THE TIMEMASTER WORK? Using a piezo sensor attached to the snare drum, the TimeMaster gives a digital read out in Beats Per Minute (B. P. M. ) by measuring the interval between hits on the snare drum or other piece of equipment. The snare drum is used because it usually has a consistent beat pattern. To illustrate the process, use the following diagram: EXAMPLE: When playing at 60 B. P. M. , the readout will normally display readings between 58 and 62. (providing that you are playing consistently) NOTE: You'll find cords fit very tightly into our jacks. The tight fit helps prevent cords from becoming accidentally unplugged. Make sure the cables are completely plugged in for best results. CONTROLS The following is an explanation of the TimeMaster controls: BATTERY The TimeMaster is designed to use one 9 volt battery when not using an adapter (preferred). We suggest you use a good quality alkaline battery. To prolong battery life, turn TimeMaster unit off when not in use. When not used for extended periods, we recommend you remove the battery or replace it every six months to prevent leakage problems. BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the battery becomes weak, the LED displays will become weak and the accuracy of the readout will be affected. [. . . ] Use those 3 LED's to assist in setting sensitivity. WARRANTY The TimeMaster unit and conditioner box warranted for two years from date of purchase. The piezo sensor is warranted for 90 days. [. . . ]
