becomes dirty. If necessary, use a damp cloth that

has been wrung out well to wipe it.

If the Ring Controller surface becomes dirty, wipe it

with a soft damp cloth that does not shed bers.

Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or solvents such

as alcohol, benzene or paint thinner.

Breakdown and malfunction

If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, imme-

diately disconnect the AC adapter, turn the power

off and disconnect other cables. Contact the store

where you bought the unit or ZOOM service with the

following information: product model, serial number

and specic symptoms of breakdown or malfunction,

along with your name, address and telephone num-

ber.

Usage and Safety Precautions

This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-

tion against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in-

stalled and used in accordance with the instruc-

tions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular in-

stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determined by turning the equipment o

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equip-

ment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the re-

ceiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

Disposal of Old Electrical & Electronic Equip-

ment (Applicable in European countries with

separate collection systems)

Products and batteries that

have been marked with the

symbol of a crossed-out

wheeled waste bin must not

be disposed of with household

waste.

Old electrical/electronic equip-

ment and batteries should be

recycled at facilities that are

able to process them and their

byproducts.

Contact the local government

for information about nearby

recycling facilities. Conducting

recycling and waste disposal

properly helps conserve re-

sources and prevents harmful impacts on human

health and the environment.

The contents of this document and the specications of

the product could be changed without notice.

Usage and Safety Precautions (continued)Usage and Safety Precautions (continued)

Pattern

This is a short musical part of several bars.

Patterns are made of sequences (performance

information) and kits (sound sets). You can also

save parameters controlled by the Ring Con-

troller, quantization and other settings for each

pattern separately.

The A has preset patterns that cover a

variety of musical genres.

Song

This is a combination of multiple patterns that

form a single musical piece.

Step

A step is the length of the shortest notes that

can be input to a sequence.

Steps are usually one 16th of a measure, so you

can set sounds to occur in 16th note intervals.

This length can be changed in the settings.

Sequence

A sequence is performance data that records

the timing when various sounds are played.

The A has a STEP mode that allows you

to record sequences one step at a time and an

INST mode that allows you to record playing the

pads in real time.

Instrument

These are the smallest elements of sounds. A

variety of sound sources, including drum sets,

percussion instruments, basses and synthesiz-

ers, are already prepared for use.

You can also use WAV les saved on an SD card

by a computer as instruments.

In addition to selecting sounds, various settings

are available in each instrument. These include

envelopes with attack and sustain times, lters

and eects.

Kit

One pattern can use up to 33 instruments. This

collection of instruments is called a "kit".

A kit created in one pattern can be copied to

another pattern.

• The Ring Controller U corresponds to the Base Station u.

• Press p on the Ring Controller to show the remaining battery charge on the Base Station

screen.

Names of parts (continued)

The A consists of a Base Station and a Ring Controller.

Ring Controller

Base Station

With the Base Station, you can edit tones, create songs and save them, for example. Use the Ring

Controller for input when creating songs.

Since the Ring Controller can be detached from the Base Station, you can hold it in your hand and

play it like an instrument. You can also connect it wirelessly to a Mac computer or iOS device and use

it as a MIDI controller (→ P. 108).

The Ring Controller includes an LED matrix with 5 rows of 32 blocks (3 rows with pads and 2 rows for

display only). Placing a two-dimensional matrix on the surface of a three-dimensional hoop enables

conrmation and operation of all steps in a compact form.

Using the A

Grip area

You can set a grip area that does not respond

to touch in order to prevent pads from being

pressed unintentionally when using the Ring

Controller separately from the Base Station. You

can set the grip area range as you like.

For details about how to set this, see "Grip area

setting" (→ P. 103).

Turning the Ring Controller

over

If you turn the ring controller over and place it

so that the side with the power key and the side

with the eect keys are reversed, the functions

assigned to the rings and the display of LEDs

will be reversed top to bottom. Moreover, the

direction of movement will also be switched.

As a result, when the Ring Controller is viewed

from above, movement will always be clockwise

and the top ring will always be on top when you

use it.

TOP

BOTTOM

Use the same way even when turned over

NOTE

If the grip area has been set, turning the ring

controller over will not reverse assignments or

the direction.

Guideline

In STEP mode, the LEDs of the top and bottom

inner rings can light for each beat to assist in

step recording.

See "Setting inner ring display" (→ P. 96) for set-

ting instructions.

For 16 beats

Playback position

When Guideline mode is active, the LEDs of the

top and bottom inner rings light green at the

step currently playing during playback of pat-

terns and songs, for example.

In addition, in INST mode and during other real-

time input, the LEDs light red.
