CY-8

1.

Use the included connection cable and connect

the output jack of the CY-8 to the trigger input

jack of the percussion sound module.

Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the CY-
8. This will prevent strain from being applied to the CY-8.

To make use of edge shot and choking play techniques,
you’ll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the
percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots.

2.

Leave some slack in the cable to ensure that they are

not pulled by the movement of the CY-8 when struck.

3.

Make the trigger settings for the percussion sound

module. For the recommended values, refer to p. 12.

Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings for

the percussion sound module, you could likely experience

the following problems:

• Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume)
• The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity)

For information on how to change the parameters for a
percussion sound module, refer to the documentation for
the percussion sound module you’re using.

Playing the CY-8

Bow Shot

This is the most common playing method, playing the pad face
of the cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of the “head-side” of
the connected trigger input.

Edge Shot

This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick. It corresponds to the sound of the “rim-
side” of the connected trigger input.

To make use of edge shot, you’ll need to connect to a
trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that
accommodates rim shots.

Choking

Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.

To make use of choking play techniques, you’ll need to
connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound
module that accommodates rim shots.
