2. Pairing the DrumLink™ hub with the DWe pads

You must pair the DrumLink™ hub with the DWe pads when you first connect them. You don’t need to do this if you’ve already paired the DrumLink™ hub with the DWe pads.

If the DrumLink - HUB screen is already shown in “1. Connecting the DWe DrumLink™ hub to the V51”, start from step 4.

  1. On the TRIGGER - ADVANCED screen, press the [F4] (DrumLink) button.
  2. Press the [F1] (HUB) button to display the DrumLink - HUB screen.
  3. If the [F6] (DrumLink) button is off, press the F6 (DrumLink) button to turn it on.
  4. If the [F6] (DrumLink) button does not appear, press the [ã] button several times to move the cursor to “RF Channel”.
  5. Press the [F5] (PAIRING) button, and strike each DWe pad once that you want to pair.
  6. Once the pads or cymbals are paired, a message like the following appears.
  8. You don’t need to strike each pad more than once.
  9. To access the DWe pad setup screen after pairing, press the [EXIT] button and then one of the [F2] (BASIC)–[F4] (OPT/ADV) buttons.

NOTE

The parameters of each DWe pad are not stored in the V51, but are stored in each DWe pad. Note that just changing a parameter does not apply the setting to the pad. You must strike the applicable pad to apply the setting. For details, refer to “5. Adjusting the DWe pad sensitivity”.

MEMO

  1. After pairing, the information for each DWe pad is stored in memory on the DrumLink™ hub. The units automatically pair when you restart the V51 or connect the DrumLink™ hub to a different V51, so there’s no need to pair manually.
  2. Although pairing is not necessary after restarting this unit, you must strike the pad you want to set once to make it show up on the pad settings screen.
  3. To exchange a DWe pad, unpair the pad you no longer need and then pair with the new pad.
  4. The V51 supports connections of up to 12 pads.
