● Pad Data Signal Flow
In order for the DTXPRESS to effectively manage trigger signals
transmitted from the pads connected to the Trigger Input Jacks (1
KICK, 2 SNARE, … 9/10) and the HI HAT CONTROL jack, trigger signals are adjusted to a suitable signal in the Trigger Setup
Buffer using the Trigger Setup.
Signals transmitted from the Trigger Setup Buffer will enter the
Drum Kit Buffer.
In the Drum Kit Buffer, the Drum Kit is set as to what voices will
be used and how voices will be delivered for each of the Trigger
Input Sources. The Tone Generator’s Voices will be produced
according to these settings and its audio signal will be transmitted
to the OUTPUT jacks and PHONES jack.
● Trigger Setup Data
This mode is used for adjusting the trigger input, from pads and
trigger sensors connected to the Trigger Input Jacks, to a suitable
signal the sensitivity and velocity curve settings. (The signals characteristics will change according to the strength of the hit.) Also,
cross-talk and double-trigger can be effectively eliminated with
the settings available here.
4
Along with 7 preset trigger setups (No. 1-7), there are another 4
user trigger setups (No. 8-11) available for storing original setups.
After selecting a trigger setup for use, the data will be copied to
the Trigger Setup Data Buffer where the copied data will be used
in performance. (Refer to the illustration above.)
Setup data can be freely changed in the Trigger Setup Edit mode
and saved, if necessary, to the User Trigger Setup’s memory (No.
8-11).
● Drum Kit Data
This mode is used for setting drum kit voices, for example, assign
a voice to each pad (trigger input source) used in the drum kit and
perform settings such as selecting the voice, tuning, reverb level,
etc.
The DTXPRESS has 48 preset (No. 1-48) drum kits and another
32 user (No. 49-80) drum kits that are used for saving original
drum kits created by the user.
As in the Trigger Setup, the selected drum kit’s data will be copied
to the Drum Kit Data Buffer where the copied data will be used in
performance. (Refer to the illustration above.) This Drum Kit data
can be freely changed in the Drum Kit Voice Edit mode and saved,
if necessary, to the User Drum Kit’s memory (No. 49-80).
DTXPRESS Internal Makeup
● Tone Generator
The DTXPRESS’ tone generator contains a total of 910 drum and
percussion voices.
Preset Drum Kits use an exclusive Drum Kit Map for each kit in
which voices for the kit are assigned to individual MIDI note numbers.
The User Drum Kit uses one drum map (User Drum Map) that is
common for all drum kit numbers 49-80. The Utility mode’s [5.
Map (Drum Map)] group can be used to assign voices to each
MIDI note number (0-127) and edit the drum kit.
Along with the DTXPRESS’ drum and percussion voices, the
DTXPRESS possesses a variety of keyboard voices (128 voices)
that are based on the GM System Level 1. It is possible to deliver
piano and brass voices by hitting the pad and playback songs with
the internal sequencer or from external sequencer data. A maximum of 32 voices can be delivered simultaneously.
● Song Data
The DTXPRESS contains 95 preset songs (No. 1-95) that consist
of not only drum parts but also keyboard, brass, etc., accompaniment parts.
You can enjoy the songs as they are or mute the song’s drums or a
single drum voice (snare drum, etc.) and play along with the drum.
Also, you can record your performance to the User Song memory
(No. 96-127). Each song consists of two tracks and each track can
include data for MIDI channels 1-16.
● MIDI/TO HOST Jacks
All drum kit setting data and sequencer data are managed with a
MIDI data.
By connecting the DTXPRESS’ MIDI OUT/IN jacks to the MIDI
IN/OUT jacks on an external MIDI device, MIDI data can be exchanged. The TO/HOST jack is used to transmit and receive MIDI
data from a computer.
According to the MIDI data transmitted from an external MIDI
device or computer connected to the DTXPRESS, drum kits can
be switched, the song can be controlled and the tone generator can
be sounded freely.
For example, song data (sequencer data) transmitted from an external sequencer to the DTXPRESS’ MIDI IN jack can be used to
play the voices produced by the DTXPRESS’ internal tone generator. You can use the DTXPRESS to play along with these songs
and record both external sequencer and DTXPRESS parts.
Also, MIDI data produced when the DTXPRESS can be transmitted to an external MIDI device and/or computer. Playing the
DTXPRESS in this configuration allows you to trigger the external tone generator’s voices and when a drum kit is switched, have
the external MIDI keyboard’s voice change as well. The
DTXPRESS’ data can be stored to, as well as retrieved from an
external MIDI device.

Song recording lets you record data, produced as the drum kit is
played, to the sequencer in real-time (one track at a time). All MIDI
channels (1-16) are recorded simultaneously. Also, data produced
by a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN jack can be recorded as well as sequencer data received via the MIDI IN/TO
HOST jacks.
According to the recorded sequencer data (performance information), drum kits and voices can be changed during song playback.
The songs that are recorded can be played back and edited in the
same manner as preset songs (No. 1-48) with the Song Job mode.
