SD1250 FUNCTIONALITY - HOW TO PLAY THE KIT
The SD1250 can be played immediately after you start it up, however there
are some functions to be aware of when you want to take full advantage of
its functions
SNARE AND TOM DUAL ZONES
The snare and toms all have dual zones. The module plays a different
sound when you strike the head or the rubber rim section. This can useful
for when you want an additional percussion sound readily available to play
on the kit.
* Please Note: Not all preset Kits have the tom rims assigned.
CRASH AND HI HAT DUAL ZONES WITH CHOKE
The crash and hi-hat cymbal inputs are dual zone as well. This means you
can strike the bow of the cymbal pad for one sound and the hit the rim of
the cymbal for another sound. You can stop the crash from ringing when you
grab the edge of the cymbal to replicate the effect of choking a cymbal.
RIDE TRIPLE ZONES
The ride cymbal has three separate zones, bow (middle of the cymbal) bell
(center) and edge.
KICK DRUM
The kick drum has only one zone.
HI HAT PEDAL
The SD1250’s hi hat pedal is multi-positional. As you move your pedal with
your foot you can change the hi hat cymbal sound to be open, semi-open
(sizzle) and closed. You can also strike the heel of the hi hat pedal hard with
your foot to emulate the splash sound you get with an acoustic hi hat pedal.
SONG MODE
The song functionality in the SD1250 is designed as an interactive mode to
allow you to play along with audio files for practice or live use accompani-
ment. You can also record your playing for playback as either MIDI or audio
(when recording to a USB device). MIDI recordings can be used in the
Pattern play mode for triggering from a strike to a drum or cymbal.
DEMO SONGS
There are 4 demo songs in the SD1250 to get you started with using the
sequencer. These are preset as the first 4 songs in the Song mode. When
playing the demo song you can press the Part Mute button on the front
panel next to the transport controls to mute the preset drum part and play
your own part.
The tempo adjustment will not work on the demo songs.
