CVS-10: q CVS-10 pad x 1, w Legs x 2, e Wing bolts x 2, r Washers x 2, t Anti-slip stoppers (incl. Adjust the position of the foot pedal and the length of the foot pedal's beater i such that the beater makes contact with the center of the pad o. Double foot pedals (such as those of the Yamaha DFP Series) can be used with the CVS-10. If using such a pedal, adjust the position of the foot pedals and the lengths of the two beaters i such that the central point between the beaters roughly coincides with the center of the pad o as shown in Figure A. CAUTION · Storage Precautions If storing the CVS-10 with no foot pedal connected, be sure to disconnect the cable going to the tone generator module and lay the pad unit flat with the striking surface facing upwards. If these precautions are not observed, the CVS-10 unit could topple over and damage the cable. Lowering an anti-slip stopper Retracting an anti-slip stopper Figure A 4 Making Connections Using a stereo phone cable q (included), connect the CVS-10's OUTPUT jack w to an appropriate input jack on a DTX Series tone generator module. Be sure to connect the L-shaped end of the cable to the CVS-10. · On the tone generator 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 tone generator module. · If using the CVS-10 as a standalone pad with no optional pad connected to it, a mono phone cable can also be used to make this connection to the tone generator module. Connecting an Optional Pad The PAD INPUT jack e provided on the CVS-10 can be used to add an additional mono pad (sold separately). To do so, connect the trigger output connector on the optional mono pad to the PAD INPUT jack using a mono or stereo phone cable. · When connecting a tone generator and a CVS-10 having an optional pad connected via its PAD INPUT jack e, the most suitable trigger input jack will depend on the type of module being used. Specifically, the CVS-10 should be connected to the trigger input jack shown below. DTX900 and DTXTREME III: 10/11 DTX-MULTI 12: 14/15 or 16/17 DTXPRESS IV: 8/9, 2/10, 3/11, or 4/12 DTXPLORER: 8/9 DTXTREME and DTXTREME IIs: 9/10 to 15/16 DTXPRESS and DTXPRESS II/III: 9/10 DTX Version 2. 0: 9/10 or 11/12 · If a pad featuring a rim switch (PCY65S, etc. ) is connected to the PAD INPUT jack, no sound will be produced by the rim section, regardless of whether or not a voice is assigned to it. [. . . ] In addition, special functions using the rim switch (such as choking and muting) will not supported in such a case. 5 Adjusting the Output Level The level of the trigger signals output from the CVS-10 can be raised by turning the level adjuster q clockwise and viceversa. Be sure to adjust this level to best suit the strength with which you strike the pad, your desired dynamic range (i. e. , the difference between loudest and quietest volumes), and the type of DTX Series tone generator module being used. If playing fortissimo (ff) passages with the CVS-10 connected to a DTX Series tone generator module, the gain level on the module's trigger setup screen should be adjusted to between 90% and 95% of the displayed input level. For more details, refer to the Owner's Manual that came with the tone generator module. Excessively large output levels can have unintended consequences such as a reduced dynamic range and double triggering (where a single strike produces two distinct sounds). Troubleshooting No sound is produced or the volume is too low. [. . . ]
