0 POWER UP

Find a microUSB cable or go to your nearest store and buy 
3 AA batteries.
Connect the USB cable to a powered 5V USB socket or 
insert the batteries to the battery compartment the right 
way - as indicated on the battery holder.

Flip the power switch to the USB or BATT position based 
on which power source you are using. There is a LED close 
to the TEMPO knob which should light up. If it doesn’t, it 
means the USB socket is not powered or you connected the 
batteries in a wrong way or they are completely depleted.

1 OUT

Use the OUT jack to connect your headphones or an audio 
cable from your speaker system. The main output of the 
drum synth engine is routed to the DRUMS jack.

2 DRUM

At the core of the main sound chip there are 8 different 
synthesis types falling into the categories granular noise,
