20.1 will be retained in memory till another lehera is programmed again in their place.
6.8 To play the Programmed lehera, select tune 20.0 or 20.1 as the case may be and
press START. The pitch and tempo of this lehera can be altered as desired.
7. BATTERY OPERATION :
7.1 To operate the Sunadamala on batteries, pull out the AC Mains Cord from its socket
at the rear of the instrument and insert four 1.5v "C" size dry cells into the battery
compartment. Operate as indicated in steps 2.3 to 2.10.
7.2 Check the condition of the batteries once in 15 days to prevent leakage and damage
to the instrument by corrosion. 7.3 Weak batteries are indicated by irregular or abrupt
stoppage of the lehera. 8. CONNECTING TO "TAALMALA" ELECTRONIC TABLA:
The "Sunadamala" is capable of being connected to a "Taalmala" electronic tabla to
provide a synchronized lehera with tabla accompaniment. This facility is useful for
Kathak dancers. Both the "Taalmala" and the "Sunadamala" should be set to the same
taals to achieve proper operation. Proceed as follows :
8.1 Connect the "SYNC OUT" socket of the "Sunadamala" to the "LEHERA IN" socket of
the "Taalmala". (If your "Taalmala" does not have a LEHERA IN Socket, contact the
manufacturer for a clarification. Do not connect to any other socket).
8.2 Switch ON both the instruments and press the STOP keys of both.
8.3 Select the desired taal on both instruments.
8.4 Press the START key of the "Taalmala". (No sound would be heard now).
8.5 Press the START key of the "Sunadamala". Now the tabla and the lehera would both
be heard together.
8.6 Adjust the tempo on the "Sunadamala" as desired. The tabla would automatically
adjust its speed. (Note: The tempo knob of the Taalmala would have no effect on the
tempo).
8.7 Adjust the pitch of the tabla to that of the "Sunadamala".
8.8 When the lehera is stopped, the tabla will also stop.
8.9 To restart, press STOP and START of the Taalmala and then START the
"Sunadamala".
8.10 If the "Sunadamala" is put into Range 2 or Range 3 of its tempo, press the DEC
key of the "Taalmala" once or twice respectively to obtain the same speed. This should
be done before pressing the START key of the "Taalmala".
