Cymbal (CY-15R/14C)

Bow Shot
This is the most common playing method, playing the middle
area of the cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of the "head-
side" of the connected trigger input.

This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick. When played as shown in the figure, the
"rim-side" sound of the connected input is triggered.

Bell Shot (CY-15R)
This playing method involves striking the bell. On the CY-
15R, when played as shown in the figure, the "rim-side"
sound of the connected input is triggered.
fig.Play-Bell
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the stick.
* On the CY-14C, bell shots are not supported.

Choke Play

Choking (pinching) the cymbal's edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the figure. If
you choke an area where there is no sensor, the sound does
not stop.
