Product Information: MicroDrummerII
MicroDrummerII is a drum machine that captures audio samples
from a real drum set. It has 6 different music types, 8 different
rhythm types for each, and a total of 48 grooves. The machine has a
fill function for adding variation during play and a tap tempo
function for speed setting. It also has two different EQ presets
for different situations.
Precautions:
Before proceeding, please read the following precautions
carefully:
- Connect only the designated AC adapter to an AC outlet of the
correct voltage. Be sure to use an AC adapter which supplies 9VDC,
120mA. - Unplug the AC power adapter when not in use or during
electrical storms. - To avoid deformation, discoloration, or other serious damage,
do not expose this unit to radio frequency interference. Operate
this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions. - Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, cleaning alcohol,
paint thinners, wax, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Product Usage Instructions:

LEVEL knob to adjust the volume level of the drum machine. Press

includes 8 different rhythm types. Toggle the switch to select
between those styles. Then rotate the PATTERN to select a rhythm

4. Speed
There are two methods to set up the speed:
- Rotate the EQ/SPEED to adjust the speed. The 12 o’clock
position is for 120 bpm. You can adjust it from 40 bpm to 260
bpm. - TAPTEMPO. Press and hold the footswitch to activate TAPTEMPO
function. The button LED will blink in RED. Then you can press the
footswitch three times to set up the speed of drum machine. The
TAPTEMPO mode will quit after being idle for 3 seconds. The button
LED will blink in RED/BLUE to indicate the speed value.
5. Add Variation Manually (Fill)
MicroDrummerII has 48 different rhythm grooves, and each of them
has a unique variation (Fill). The variation will not be activated
during normal playing. Press the right footswitch (TAP/FILL) during
drum machine playing to add variation (Fill). After the variation

play.
