Restoring the factory settings
Here's how to return the WAVEDRUM’s program settings
to factory default.
Be aware that when you execute this operation, the
contents of the user programs will also be rewritten
to factory default.
1.
While holding down the WRITE button, press the
power switch to turn on the power. The display will
blink

.
2.
Hold down the blinking WRITE button for about one
second. The factory settings will start being loaded.
When loading is complete, the display will blink

.
Never turn off the power while data is being loaded.
Doing so may destroy the data.
3.
Turn off the power, and then turn it on again.
Replacing the drum head
If you need to replace the head, please use the optional
(separately sold) Replacement Head HD-WD. You may
also use 10" drum heads made by Remo Inc.
note:
Please be aware that the sound of the WAVEDRUM
may change depending on the type of head you install.
Drum head replacement procedure
Before you begin this procedure, you must unplug
the power cable of the WAVEDRUM and any cables
that connect it with other equipment. Perform the
procedure on a stable and flat location.
1.
Using the included tuning key, sequentially loosen the
five tension bolts on the rim, and remove the rim.
Place the WAVEDRUM on a flat location so that no
stress is applied to the connecting sheet that is attached
to the rim and the lower case.
2.
Remove the old head, and replace it with the new
head.
When doing so, never allow your hand to touch internal
components such as the sensors or the circuit board.
Take care that foreign objects do not enter the WAVE-
DRUM.
3.
Once you have replaced the head, place the rim back
in its original position, and tighten the tension bolts.
For details on how to tighten them, refer to the follow-
ing section: “Tuning the drum head.”
4.
After you’ve tuned the drum head, calibrate the head,
rim, and pressure sensors, and adjust the sensitivity as
desired (
Tuning the drum head
• To tune the drum head, use the included tuning key to
tighten each tension bolt, skipping one bolt each step
to ensure that the head is tensioned evenly.
Avoid tightening the bolts excessively when tuning
the head. Doing so will cause deformation and pos-
sibly malfunctions.
On conventional percussion instruments, the tension
bolts must be tightened equally to apply even tension to
the head. If this is not done, not only will the instrument
not sound good, but the life of the instrument can also be
affected. Likewise for the WAVEDRUM, uneven tuning
will cause the head surface to become warped and
remain in contact with the cushion and sensor, eventually
causing malfunctions.
If you must use commercially-available tension bolts due
to wear or loss of the original bolts, be sure to use bolts
that are 1.10"–1.57" (28–40 mm) long.
Standard drum head tuning method
The standard method for tuning a drum head for the
WAVEDRUM is described below. After replacing the
drum head, you must tune it in the following way.
When using this tuning method, start with the tension
bolts completely loosened.
1.
Using the included tuning key, tighten each tension
bolt, skipping one bolt each step. Be sure to use only
light force to turn the bolt, and stop when the bolt
stops turning (i.e., at the point that strength would be
required). Do this for all five bolts.
2.
Tighten each tension bolt one full turn, skipping one
bolt each step. Do this for all five bolts.
3.
Tighten each tension bolt approximately 45 degrees,
skipping one bolt each step. Do this for all five bolts.
