Korg's Wavedrum Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer has returned! With a combination of powerful
synthesis and deep expressiveness, the Wavedrum is an instrument that can open new doors for your
playing. Here's how to get started!
Connect and power up
•
Mount the Wavedrum securely to any standard snare drum stand, or set on any level surface.
•
Make sure the POWER button is turned off, and connect the included power supply.
•
Connect ¼" cable(s) to the Wavedrum's outputs, or connect headphones to the headphone jack.
•
Press the POWER button, and the Wavedrum will load the sounds selected for Live Mode.
•
Hit it!!
Adjusting the Wavedrum
Your Wavedrum has a replaceable 10-inch drum head, whose tightness will affect its response, just like an acoustic drum.
Here's how to set up the Wavedrum for the best playing experience:
Using the included drum key (or any other standard drum key), adjust the 5 points on the rim to tighten/loosen the
head to your liking.
•
If replacing the head, be careful while separating the top and bottom sections of the Wavedrum, which are
connected and cannot be completely separated.
•
For stability, and to extend the life of your drum head, follow a star-shaped adjustment pattern, rather than just
moving clockwise from point to point.
•
Test the head (including the center pressure sensor) with various sounds to ensure optimal playability.
•
If the head pressure needs adjustment, turn the center screw on the bottom of the Wavedrum, and/or calibrate
the head and pressure sensors as described in the Owner's Manual.
