The New features of DTX V2

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

As shown in the tree chart below, new features have been added to the Drum Kit Trigger Edit, Song Job, and Utility modes. Minor changes have also been made to Drum Kit Trigger Edit Mode, Drum Voice Edit Mode, Pattern Record/Job Mode, Song Record/ Job Mode, and Utility Mode in the form of additional parameters or modifications in the operation procedure.

This chart contains new features (shaded) and modified or additional (underlined) items. Reference pages of their description or

related information in the Owner's Manual are listed after each of these items.

More Drum Kits

The number of drum percussion voices has increased from 916 to 928 types and the preset drum kits have increased from 32 types to 61 types. (29 new drum kits have been added in user area drum kits 1 to 29.)

No. 1 to 29 include drum kits entered in advance. To edit the drum kit for these numbers, it is recommended to copy a user kit between No. 30 to 32 and use it at a later stage. When you reset an edited drum kit back to its original settings (Owner’s Manual P. 32), it is possible to set it back to factory settings. When you do so, all the data will be erased. Save the data you have edited to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF2 before you reset.

Description of New Features

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Here is the description of the features newly added to each mode. The layout is the same as the Reference chapter of the Owner's Manual for you to use together with this guide.

Drum Kit Trigger Edit Mode

26 In 9to10 (input 9 to 10)

When you play the pad connected to input 9, it is possible also to generate the voice set to input 10. Because you can assign different voice to each input 9 and 10, it is possible to use the kick pad and play a bass sound and a bass drum sound simultaneously. When doing so, by using the alter or alterMN modes on the Key On (key on mode) setting on the 14th display page, you can play a bass drum sound each time you hit (step on) a pad, and also play the bass line. Use this as reference to set the kick pad for the new additional drum kit; “12 kick3itm.” (P.22)

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons. When this is set "on," this function is ON and the voice from input 10 will be generated when a pad connected to input 9 is played. When this is set "off," the function is canceled.

In 9to10

27 In11to12 (input 11 to 12)

When you play the pad connected to input 11, it is possible also to generate the voice set to input 12. As in the case of the "In 9 to 10" on the 26th display page, this function is used to generate different voices assigned to each input simultaneously.

Use the Data Scroll Wheel or the +1/YES or -1/NO buttons. When this is set "on," this function is ON and the voice from input 12 will be generated when a pad connected to input 11 is played. However, input to INPUT 12 is ignored. When this is set "off," the function is canceled.

This sets the performance volume of each MIDI channel within the currently selected song. This function enables you to adjust the volume balance among the tracks within a song which has been recorded.

1 Move the cursor to the Channel focus area and

rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and -1/NO buttons to choose the channel number.

7 PanCh (channel pan)

This sets the pan (stereo pan position of the sound) assigned to each MIDI channel within the currently selected song. This defines the pan position of the sound of each channel between the left and right. This function enables you to adjust the stereo pan position of the tracks within a recorded song. Furthermore, the channel 10 drum kit pan will be adjusted on the 3rd display page of Drum Kit Voice Edit mode (Owner's Manual P.54) and here we will be describing how to set channels 1 to 9 and 11 to

16.

1 Move the cursor to the Channel focus area and

rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and -1/NO buttons to choose the channel number.

2 Move the cursor to the Pan focus area and rotate

the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and -1/ NO buttons to set the pan.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 and set the pan of each

channel.

DTX Version 2.0 — System Upgrade Information Guide

Utility Mode

9 Ma to Aux (main output to auxiliary

output)

This allows the same audio signals as the main output such as OUTPUT L/MONO or OUTPUT R to be sent through the AUX OUT L/R jacks. This also allows only the performer to listen to the output with an additional metronome click during a performance. For example, when you are using the DTX for a live performance you can use this function to set the output of both to audio signals and use the OUTPUT L/MONO and OUTPUT R for the performers (headphones) and AUX OUT L/R jacks for the audience. When doing so, set the metronome sound to OUTPUT L/MONO and make it go through the R jack by selecting “mainL+R” from the ClickOut settings (Owner’s Manual P. 123) on the 33rd display page. This way, it is possible not to mix the click in the audio signals to the audience and separate the output signals. This function is also effective to use during a recording.

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons to set this function on or off. When this is set “on,” the output destination setting for each voice (Owner’s Manual P.58) is disabled and the same audio signals will go through OUTPUT L/ MONO, R jack, and AUX OUT L/R jacks. When this is set “off,” the function returns to regular output and the output returns to its normal settings.

10 Inc Func (increase function)

This enables the function of the pad connected to a specific input to constantly act as an Inc switch regardless of the pad function (Owner's Manual P.

45) settings. When this is set to an Inc switch, you can use the pad as a switch to select the next drum kit number in Drum Kit mode, or advance the position by a step in Chain mode.

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons to select the input number of the switch. The selected input pad will function as an Inc switch. Select "--" to able the function set in pad function (Owner's Manual P.45)

11 Dec Func (decrease function)

This enables the function of the pad connected to a specific input to constantly act as an Dec switch regardless of the pad function (Owner's Manual P.

45) settings. When this is set to an Dec switch, you can use the pad as a switch to select the previous drum kit number in Drum Kit mode, or retreat the position by a step in Chain mode.

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons to select the input number of the switch. The selected input pad will function as an Dec switch. Select "--" to able the function set in pad function (Owner's Manual P.45)

18 SendHH (send hi-hat control change

signals)

This enables or disables control change data to be transmitted out using a foot controller connected to the H.HAT CONTROL jack on the rear panel. This settings allows you to send control change data to external devices. Regardless of the settings here, control change data will always be transmitted to the internal tone generator of the DTX. Furthermore, the hi-hat control functions and the type of MIDI control change data is set in the FC Func or FC MIDI (Owner's Manual P.47) focus areas on the 22nd or 23rd display pages in Drum Kit Trigger Edit mode.

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons to set this function on or off. When this is set "on," the control change data will be sent out. When this is set "off," the data will not be transmitted out.

34 PlyClick (play click)

This enables you to play or stop the metronome click with the START/STOP button on the DTX. For example, it is possible to generate a click at the beginning of a performance or recording, as well as use it with the Count function (Owner's Manual P.

123). Regardless of it being on or off, the CLICK button function is always enabled.

Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and

-1/NO buttons to set this function on or off. When this is set "on," the START/STOP button will start or stop the click. When this is set "off," the function returns to normal operation and only the CLICK button function remains enabled.
