Cautions for use

The speaker contains a magnet
This speaker that's built into this instrument con-
tains a magnet. Do not place it near cards or medical
devices that might be affected by magnetism.
Do not allow heavy objects to rest on the pad for an
extended time
Do not leave the clip attached for an extended time
If a heavy object is left on the WAVEDRUM Mini's
pad surface for an extended time, a mark may be
left both on the pad surface and on the object touch-
ing it. Do not leave heavy objects on the pad sur-
face, or leave the WAVEDRUM Mini face down for
an extended time. Similarly, leaving the clip
attached for an extended time may cause a mark.
Changes due to aging or the state of the surface may
also cause such marks to occur regardless of how
long the WAVEDRUM Mini is in contact with the
other object.
About feedback
The WAVEDRUM Mini uses a sensor to detect the
vibrations that occur in the pad or clip when you
strike it. In some cases, the sensor will respond not
only to this direct impact but also to the sound from
a high-volume speaker, picking it up as though the
signal was coming through a microphone. In partic-
The WAVEDRUM Mini is a completely new con-
cept in percussion synthesizers, with the following
three major features:
• It can be played anywhere
• It can turn anything into a Wavedrum
• It's easy to transport

Main features

Revolutionary synthesis technology
The pad and clip sensors capture the sound of the
musician's strikes, and a variety of Wavedrum-based
synthesis technologies are used to generate unique
sounds. Since the output is based on the sounds that
ular, when you're playing the WAVEDRUM Mini
while monitoring the sound through a large PA sys-
tem, the WAVEDRUM Mini's sound that's being
output from the speakers may be conveyed directly
from the speakers or as vibration from the floor
transmitted through a stand, and detected by the
WAVEDRUM Mini's sensor, producing acoustic
feedback (a whine or howl) that can cause an
uncontrollable sustained sound to be produced.
Feedback places an excessive load on the amps and
speakers, and may damage them seriously. When
using the WAVEDRUM Mini with a large monitor
system, please use the PA system's equalizers and
limiters to prevent feedback and protect the speak-
ers just as you would do for a microphone used by
an acoustic instrument or vocalist.
Recording with the Looper function will make feed-
back more likely. Please be careful with the volume.
Data handling
Unexpected malfunctions can result in the loss of
memory contents. Korg cannot accept any responsi-
bility for any loss or damage which you may incur
as a result of data loss.

Introduction

you perform, the sound will change sensitively and
diversely in response to your playing technique and
the subtle movements of your fingers and palm,
allowing a high degree of performance freedom
with endless variation.
Turn anything into WAVEDRUM
The clip with the built-in sensor can be attached to
any object, transforming it into a Wavedrum.
This lets you turn a nearby object into a Wavedrum,
and the tonal character will change depending on
the material of the object—wood, metal, or glass
etc.
