User manual ROLAND KD-120 MANUAL 2

[. . . ] ® OWNER'S MANUAL We'd like to take a moment to thank you for purchasing the Roland KD-120. Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" (p. 2­3) and "IMPORTANT NOTES" (p. These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. [. . . ] If this occurs, adjust the angle of the KD-120's pad to prevent such contact. Keep the adjustment within a range that does not allow the KD-120's pad hoop to touch the plate of the stand. Allow sufficient clearance here. Prevent contact between the hoop and plate. 90° If the kick pedal has no under-plate, then arrange the stand's plate section at a right angle to the floor. 11. Make any fine adjustments necessary and tighten the stand brackets to make sure the KD120 is secure on the stand. Make sure the KD-120's four legs and heel portion of the kick pedal is securely on the floor by loosening the stand's T-bolts and adjusting the length of the legs. * If the kick pedal has no under-plate, then arrange the stand's plate section at a right angle to the floor. 12. Adjust the striking point for the beater. Normally the beater's striking point is adjusted to fall at the center of the head. Adjust the striking point so that it doesn't extend beyond the cushion on the back of the head. Moving the striking point closer to the sensor increases the sensitivity, so carry out fine adjustment to suit your preferences. 6 When Using a Twin (Double Kick) Pedal With the KD-120, you can also play using a twin (double kick) pedal. Set this up so that the striking points of the two beaters fall at equal distances to the left and right of the center of the head. fig. 13. e * When using a twin (double kick) pedal, as with a regular pedal, use the included beater or a plastic beater as the beater for the kick pedal. Connecting to the Sound Module Connecting the KD-120 to a sound module (TD-20, TD-12, etc. ). To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. · Make sure that KD-120 does not touch the drum stand or the other pads. · The appropriate Trigger Type settings need to be made for the percussion sound module. Replacement heads (optional): Mesh Head (MH-12) Replacing the Head When replacing the head, use the included drum key or the drum key for your acoustic drums. * Do not apply excessive force to the sensor and cushion located under the head. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it. fig. 14. e a c Lock nut tighten f e loosen HEAD MADE BY REMO U. S. A. d 1. 9. b Loosen the lock nuts on the tuning bolts.
