Getting Familiar
Turning the Power On/Off
941, 942
Make sure the volume controls on the HandSonic 10, and any connected devices are set to “0.” Then turn
on the device connected to the MIX IN Jack. Turn on the HandSonic 10’s power switch. As there is a built-in
protection circuit, it will take a few seconds before you see the kit name appear in the display. Until that
time, Do NOT touch any pad, or use the D BEAM. Turn on the device connected to the output jacks. Then
adjust the respective volume settings.
When turning the HandSonic off, turn down all respective volumes before turning off the power.
Preset Kit Buttons
The 5 Preset kit Buttons, [1]–[5], will take you to the indicated kits. These 5 kits can NOT be modified, as
they are separate from the 64 user kits. Using the [+]/[-] buttons will let you scroll only through those 5 kits.
To return to the user kits, press [KIT]. However, when used in combination with the [SHIFT] button, they can
be used to quickly jump to your own pre-determined selection. How to make settings for this function will be
explained further on. We’ll use a few of these kits to help you get to know the HandSonic.
Instrument View Mode
There is a way to call up the name of the sounds being played without
using the EDIT function. While in Kit mode, press the [ ] cursor once.
Then when you play any pad you can see the instrument name in the
display.
Positional Sensing
Press the [CONGA] kit button (#1).
Play the 2 larger pads starting
near the center, and as you move towards the edge, play a bit
harder, and you will hear what the positional sensing function does.
Slap the edge. This works on specific sounds only. (More about that
is explained later.)
