Features

The DTXTREME IIs is designed for professional drummers and has a comprehensive variety of ﬂexible drum-triggering features, a 64-note polyphonic tone generator compatible with the GM System Level 1 standard, as well as a built-in music sequencer that enables recording and playback of rhythm or accompaniment patterns, and even lets you create an entire song. The instrument is ideal for virtually any application — live performance, rhythm training, music creation and studio recording.

Drum Triggering

•Flexible external controls via 16 trigger inputs (total of 12 jacks), hi-hat controller jack, and footswitch jack. These jacks can connect to any Yamaha triggering gear including traditional DTX/DTXPRESS drum pads, DT-series trigger pickups, and the latest drum pads.

•Combined with the latest drum pads, DTXTREME IIs enables manual control of the drum voice tone with a built-in knob.

•Freely adjustable trigger inputs. Each trigger input can be edited to suit the input device (type) connected to the jack, letting you determine the sensitivity and other settings.

•Freely assignable voices. Using MIDI note numbers, each trigger input can be assigned a speciﬁc voice from the internal tone generator. A set of trigger-to-voice conﬁgurations can be stored as a drum kit. DTXTREME IIs stores up to 40 drum kits internally and up to 99 externally on convenient memory cards. Also, DTXTREME IIs comes with 90 preset drum kits.

• Each trigger input can be set to play several MIDI note numbers simultaneously or sequentially, enabling the playing of chords or melodic phrases, or even entire drum patterns with a single pad.

Tone Generator

•A variety of high-quality sounds (voices) in a 64-note polyphonic AWM2 (PCM) tone generator compatible with the GM System Level 1 standard.

•Preset voices include 2,174 drum or percussion sounds and 128 keyboard sounds. DTXTREME IIs offers dynamic drum voices, including high-quality Yamaha drum sounds, plus the latest samples and looped sounds — guaranteed to inspire you as you play and create.

• An all-new sampling feature that lets you easily add your own samples to the drum kit. DTXTREME IIs can also import samples (audio ﬁles) from the computer using memory cards.

• Each drum voice can be edited using various parameters for effects, volume, pan, pitch, and so on.

Effects

•High-quality digital reverb and chorus are provided as System effects. A versatile pair of separate Insertion effects is also provided with 44 effect types.

• The Localizer provides a three-dimensional (3D) stereo effect that simulates natural sound when monitored with stereo headphones.

Page 8

Music Sequencer

•A wide variety of Preset songs. Also, the DTXTREME IIs has internal memory space for up to 32 User songs.

•Song playback. In addition to a main song that is controlled by the panel transport buttons or external MIDI events, DTXTREME IIs can play up to four pad-controlled songs assigned to a drum kit (pad songs). These songs can be freely selected from the Preset and User songs.

•Groove check feature that measures timing accuracy when hitting the pads. This is especially useful for practicing and learning purposes.

•Click feature for playing with the sequencer. You can choose a click sound separately from the drum kit settings.

•Simple and easy two-track sequencer that can be used for real-time recording of your performances or for recording external sequence data as User songs. Each track can contain several MIDI channels (1 to 16). Since the DTXTREME IIs can sync with an external sequencer, you can start recording by simply hitting a drum pad or Start button on the top panel or an external sequencer. The sequencer also offers step recording so that you can manually create or edit a song step-by-step, using the DTXTREME IIs LCD display.

•Selective playback feature. Since you can simply mute the drum or any other part in a song while controlling the volume of each part, this is ideal for “minus-one” practice and so on.

Easy Operations and Useful Controls

•Backlit LCD display and LED display that provide clear visual information in any performing and editing situation.

•Data entry knobs. These ﬁve knobs on the top panel provide easy accessibility to parameters shown in the LCD display.

•Chain play feature that can play drum kits and songs in a speciﬁed order.

•Built-in mixing features. Top-panel volume slider controls let you easily adjust the volume balance between instruments or parts (drum kit, accompaniment, and click). These slider controls can even adjust the reverb return level for an entire drum kit, as well as the reverb send level for each instrument in the kit. This simpliﬁes the process of adjusting the reverb settings to suit the acoustics of your surroundings. Two more dedicated slider controls are also provided for adjusting headphones and click (metronome) volumes.

Interfaces and Expandability

•MIDI (IN, OUT, THRU) and USB ports offer connectivity between the DTXTREME IIs and external MIDI devices — such as a computer or sequencer — for advanced recording and data storage applications.

•Versatile sound outputs. In addition to the stereo outputs, there are six individual outputs for separately sending speciﬁc sounds (snare drum, bass drum, tom, etc.) to an external mixer for further processing. Also, the new digital output (S/PDIF) is useful to transfer the DTXTREME IIs stereo sounds with digital quality.

•External sound input. Use the AUX IN stereo jack to connect an audio player (CD, MD, tape, etc.) — and play the drum kit along with playback of your favorite songs. This jack can also be used for sampling from the connected audio source.

•External storage using the memory card (SmartMedia). You can use the memory card to store and read data including drum kits, songs, and chains. The memory card can also be used to supply a waveform sample (audio ﬁle) for sound expansion.

Pads and Triggers

Compatible Products

You can use the DTXTREME IIs with any currently available Yamaha pad products. Since each pad is designed for a speciﬁc purpose and has its own speciﬁcations, you’ll need to check which product is most suitable for connecting to a speciﬁc DTXTREME IIs trigger input. When you purchase additional pads for your kit, refer to the following table for optimum compatibility.

n For detailed information on Yamaha pad products, refer to the

DTXTREME IIs product brochure or your local Yamaha website.

Drum Pad (TP100/TP120SD)

A new series of drum pads that adopt a newly developed rubber head. When used for the snare drum and toms, these pads can produce real continuous tone change by three-zone position sensing. These pads also employ a new pad controller for adjusting the snare or tom tone (such as tuning) while playing the kit.

Rubber Pad (TP/PCY/KP/BP series)

Standard lineup of drum and trigger pads made of rubber material. In addition to traditional dual and single trigger pads (dual pads have a rim switch), several new pads with three-zone position sensing feature are also available. These pads are convenient for triggering pad songs or switching a drum kit or song in chain play.

Hi-hat Controller (HH/RHH series)

Indispensable for subtle hi-hat work with a DTXTREME IIs drum kit. Choose your favorite combination of the hi-hat "pedal and cymbals," such as HH-series controller and TPseries pad. You can even choose a real hi-hat stand (such as Yamaha HS series) and an RHH130 pad with two zone position sensing.

Real Head Pad (RHP/KP series)

These pads feature a wooden drum shell made of plied birch and mahogany, and a real drum head — just as on acoustic drums. This series include three different pads for bass drum, snare drum, and toms and designed especially for use with Yamaha System Drums.

Drum Trigger (DT series)

These trigger pickups are designed for attaching to acoustic drums, making them ideal for expanding the capabilities of your acoustic drum kit with the DTXTREME IIs electronic sounds. Each pickup can produce a single trigger. Keep in mind that attaching two drum triggers to a single snare drum will not produce the same effect as using a dual trigger pad.

Page 15

Attaching a Drum Trigger

To use an acoustic drum as a triggering device, you will need to attach a Yamaha DT-series drum trigger. Observe the following precautions and attach the trigger properly as described in the diagrams below.

Attaching to a Tom

Attach the sensor portion of the trigger near the rim on the shell. Ensure that the sensor does not touch the rim or other parts in the drum kit (snare drum, other toms, percussion instruments, etc.).

• First remove dust or oily dirt from the batter head or drum shell to which you will apply the sensor using a cloth dampened with water or a alcohol (use no chemical solvents), then apply the sensor.

• Cover the sensor and cord with tape to avoid accidental disconnection that may be caused by drum vibrations.

• Double triggering may occur if the drum head produces a sustained sound or irregular vibrations. If this is the case, change the tuning or mute the head to avoid unnecessary vibrations. It is recommended to use the ring mute.

Attaching to a Bass Drum

Attach the sensor portion of the trigger near the rim on the batter head. Ensure that the sensor does not touch the rim.

Sticky tape

Setup

Detaching a Drum Trigger

Yo u’ll need to detach the trigger when replacing the drum head. Before removing the head, remove the sensor portion of the trigger carefully using a knife or similar object. Be careful not to pull the cord.

n When replacing the sensor, remove any remnants of the

old tape completely and then re-attach it using new tape. Such remnants may cause problems regarding trigger sensitivity (poor or no triggering, double triggering, etc.).

Attaching to a Snare Drum

Attach the sensor portion of the trigger near the rim at the opposite end to the player, on the batter head. Ensure that the sensor does not touch the rim.

Peripherals

In addition to the built-in triggering system, DTXTREME IIs also features a built-in MIDI tone generator, builtin music sequencer, and mixing functions with various effects. This all-in-one self-contained system makes it possible to play the DTXTREME IIs system right out of the box — once you ﬁnish pad connections and turn the system on. What’s more, the system can easily be expanded with other peripheral devices since the instrument supports various types of connections. Here we’ll show you some typical audio and MIDI connections so that you can learn how to ﬁt the DTXTREME IIs system into your own working environment.

Audio Connections

When recording your performance on a DTXTREME IIs drum kit or sending its sounds to a mixer, connect your equipment as follows (Yamaha AW4416 works in both situations as mixer and recorder):

DTXTREME IIs

DRUMTRIGGERMODULE

DIGITAL OUT

DIGITAL IN

The OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) and INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT (1 to 6) jacks produce line level audio signals regardless of whether headphones are connected or not. These jacks are mono phone type. To make audio connections via these jacks, use cables with a mono phone plug for the DTXTREME IIs and an appropriate plug for the other device.

Use both of OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO and R) for stereo output. If the other device has a mono input, use the L/MONO jack only.

Connect a set of headphones to the PHONES jack for monitoring the stereo output (identical to that of the OUTPUT jacks). The sounds output from the INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT jacks cannot be heard from the headphones connected to the PHONES jack.

The DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal allows you to output the stereo signal as digital audio to an audio device that has a coaxial-type digital input (S/PDIF). The stereo output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack is identical to that output from the OUTPUT jacks.

External audio signals input to AUX IN can be monitored together with the DTXTREME IIs sounds via headphones connected to the PHONES jack (page 75), and can be recorded as a waveform sample for an additional drum voice (page 83). In either case, you can adjust the AUX IN input level using the AUX IN VOL control.

MIDI Connections

DTXTREME IIs has USB and MIDI (IN/OUT/THRU) ports, and you can use these to transfer MIDI events to/ from external MIDI-equipped devices.

The USB port allows bi-directional transfer of MIDI events between the DTXTREME IIs and a personal computer with a single USB cable. With a USB connection, you can record your performance on the drum kit — and even the song playback of the Instrument — with MIDI sequencer software on your computer. You can also play the internal tone generator of the DTXTREME IIs with a MIDI sequence from the computer or capture it to the Instrument as a DTXTREME IIs song.

The MIDI ports offer one-way transfer of MIDI events. Use MIDI OUT to play an external sound module with a DTXTREME IIs drum kit or song. Use MIDI IN to control the internal tone generator from an external device. You can use MIDI THRU to connect an additional external sound module, controlling it from a MIDI controller connected to MIDI IN. If you want to share an external sound module with DTXTREME IIs and an external controller, connect the controller to MIDI IN, connect the module to MIDI OUT, and use the MIDI merge function (page 79).

n You cannot use USB and MIDI ports simultaneously. When you connect a USB cable to the DTXTREME IIs, the MIDI ports are

automatically disabled. If you make MIDI and USB connections at the same time, external devices connected to any MIDI port will not function. However, if you want to make a temporary USB connection to a computer for some reason, you can keep the MIDI devices connected to the DTXTREME IIs, since the USB connection does not affect or harm the MIDI devices at all.

available setting pages (LCD screens).

4 If you are working in a speciﬁc page or performing a

speciﬁc operation, and the ENTER/YES indicator ﬂashes, this is a prompt indicating you should answer YES or NO. Simply press the ENTER/YES button to execute the operation, or press the EXIT/NO button to cancel it. Pressing the STORE button to save edited data also causes the ENTER/YES indicator to ﬂash. In this case, press the ENTER/YES button to save the data, or press the EXIT/ NO button to cancel the store operation.

n Since most settings are automatically stored into the memory of

the DTXTREME IIs, you do not need to execute the store operation unless prompted.

Basically, this is all you need to know to start working with and playing your DTXTREME IIs. Any crucial operations are preceded by a conﬁrmation display that allows you to cancel the operation as needed. However, you must ﬁrst complete one very important setting before actually playing with the DTXTREME IIs. Here is a chance to put into practice some of the things you’ve just learned...

3 There are ﬁve knobs beneath the LCD display. Each knob

corresponds to a parameter shown above in the LCD screen and can be used to set the value. To advance rapidly or jump through the available values, simultaneously hold down the SHIFT button and turn the appropriate knob. When you are editing a drum kit and want to set the same parameters for different targets (trigger inputs 1 to 16, etc.), you can use the leftmost knob to conveniently switch the target without changing the screen you are working in.

Page 22

Play Section

The DTXTREME IIs conveniently always enters the Play mode when it is turned on. The Play mode is where you can start working and playing with the DTXTREME IIs — simply select a drum kit and song to play (or edit in other modes). Other features related to performance are also accessible in Play mode. You can play any drum kit chosen from 90 Preset kits (P1 to P90) and 40 User kits (U1 to U40) that you can create and store in the DTXTREME IIs memory. You can also select a main song from a variety of Preset songs (song numbers starting with P, Q and R) and 32 User songs that can be recorded into the DTXTREME IIs memory (page 60). By using an optional memory card to store your User kits (C1 to C99), you can have a virtually unlimited number of drum kits at your disposal. Use any combination of a drum kit and a song for rehearsals, jam sessions, etc. You can even create a complex drum solo by controlling playback of up to four songs using the pads (see Pad song, page 25).

n If your beat setting is different from the song-native one, the click

count speciﬁed with CLICK 5 will not match at every ﬁrst beat of the measure. This is not a malfunction, but is a useful technique for counting into a difﬁcult phrase — for example, using a 3/8 count to lead into a 4/4 song. The click count and beat will sync together when you reset the playback position to the song beginning, or when the song-native beat setting is changed during playback.

5 CLICK

A song consists of two sequence tracks (Tracks 1 and

2) and header data. The header data at the beginning

of the song contains general song information such as tempo and time signature, as well as program change and volume data for each MIDI channel. The data is automatically loaded when you select a song. Each sequence track can contain performance information for MIDI channels 1 to 16, just as with conventional MIDI sequencers. When song playback is started, this data is sent to the built-in tone generator for the sounds to be played back.

Playback Parts

Part selection buttons allows you to enable or disable playback of a speciﬁc part (MIDI channel) in the song. For example, you could mute the rhythm part to play rhythms yourself using the pads, or you could play along with just the bass part sounding, or you could jam with an actual bass player with all other accompaniment parts enabled. Indicators for the following buttons show that the corresponding part is enabled (lit) or disabled (unlit). The part is alternately enabled or disabled each time you press the corresponding button.

Each song can be played back as a main song or pad song. A main song is a song selected in the default screen and played back with the transport control buttons. A pad song is a song assigned to a trigger input and started or stopped when you hit a pad that is set speciﬁcally for that control. Each drum kit can contain pad songs as part of the sound program (page 40), and some Preset kits are provided with pad songs. Since the DTXTREME IIs can play one main song and up to four pad songs at a time, you can play a guitar phrase or a chorded brass hit by hitting pads while playing the drum kit along with the main song.

Timing difference for each hit: The difference in timing accuracy each time you hit a pad or drum is displayed as a number in the range of –48 to +48 (slower to faster). A negative value means you are playing slower than the song tempo, and a positive value means you are playing faster. A value of zero means you are playing exactly on time. This is useful to measure the timing tightness of a speciﬁc instrument such as the snare or bass drum.

Average: The difference in timing accuracy is measured as an average and displayed as a number in the range of –48 to +48 (slower to faster). A negative value means you are playing slower than the song tempo, and a positive value means you are playing faster. A value of zero means you are playing exactly on time.

Chain Feature

A Chain is a series of drum kits and songs arranged in the order you want. For example, you can arrange different drum kits to be selected in a speciﬁc order — for example, to match that of a set list in a live performance, or to use with a series of practice songs arranged in order of difﬁculty. The DTXTREME IIs can memorize up to 32 chains for instant recall them whenever you want them.

Switching the Chain Display

When pressing the CHAIN button, the Chain Play display appears ﬁrst, allowing you to play existing chains. Pressing the CHAIN button again calls up the Chain Edit display, from which you can create a new chain or edit an existing one. Every press of the CHAIN button toggles between these two displays. When you ﬁnish using this feature, simply press the EXIT/NO button to return to the default display.

Creating or Editing a Chain

The ﬁrst step in using chains is to create one. You can also freely edit an existing chain at any time. Once you create or edit a chain, you’ll need to store it BEFORE you start working with another chain.

n Select a target chain in the Chain Play screen beforehand (page 32).

Chain Edit Screen

Here you can arrange drum kits or songs one by one to each step in a chain. A chain can contain up to 32 steps, and you can link a chain to another if you want a long chain that exceeds 32 steps or a looped chain that repeats a speciﬁc series.

1 Chain Name

Enter the desired name for the current chain, using up to eight characters. Use the leftmost knob to move the entry position (cursor) for each character. Then, use the second-toleft knob to enter a character at that position. Repeat this step and specify the chain name (maximum of eight characters).

❏ Settings: song, kit, jump, END

n If you make a chain with a jump point on the way to the ﬁnal step,

the chain will not play the steps after the jump point.

n If you specify neither jump or END within a chain, it will continue

playing to the 32nd step. To effectively use the chain, set jump or END at the ﬁnal step.

Procedure

Create or edit a chain referring to above explanations concerning each item in the edit screen.

n In the Chain Edit screen, a dot appears in the LED display. This

means you have edited the chain but not yet stored it. If, while editing, you switch to Chain Play display and select another chain, your edits will be lost (the LED dot will go out). Be sure to save necessary edits before selecting another chain.

1. Use the two left knobs to specify the chain name.

4 Num=

Specify the item according to the Type 3 setting made above. Select a drum kit for kit, a song for song, or a destination chain for jump. You can view the number in the upper row and the name in the lower row. If you set the current chain for the destination, you will have a looped chain. You do not need set anything for END, since the display shows “---” (no setting).

❏ Settings: When Type 3 is set to song: Preset or User song

When Type 3 is set to kit: Preset or User drum kit When Type 3 is set to jump: 1~32 (chain)

n If you select a drum kit or a song on the memory card (C1-C99 for

each), you'll need the appropriate memory card containing the relevant drum kit or song data for correct playback of the chain. Otherwise, “No Card” is shown in the display.

2. Use the center knob to select a step, and then use the two

right knobs to set the type and number for the step.

3. Specify other steps in the same manner.

4. Press the STORE button to save this chain.

5. Use the second-to-right knob to select a chain number

(1 to 32), to which the current chain you’ve created or edited will be stored.

6. Press the ENTER/YES button. A conﬁrmation message

will appear in the display.

DTXTREME IIs as Drum System

Because of their quick decay and non-pitched nature, drum and percussion instruments are ideal for electronic music. Rhythm machines and samplers make it easy to use actual instrument sounds and assemble the rhythms in authentic, dynamic ways. However, programming of drum sounds to realistically reproduce the natural energy, feel, groove and dynamics of the original is very difﬁcult to do. Most musicians feel that there is nothing like “pounding out” the rhythm on a set of drums to get the proper quality of “comfortable randomness.” Hit and sound, and repeat this to create a rhythm — this primitively simple process produces a very humanized performance. Our research and development was focused on that point — a entirely new fusion of acoustic and electronic instruments. The answer is DTXTREME IIs. Converting what a player intends to represent through drumming into trigger signals, and linking them to MIDI, an industry standard for electronic musical instruments, DTXTREME IIs enables a creative rhythm-oriented musical performance beyond what you can expect from traditional acoustic drums.

From Trigger Input to Sound Output

Before getting deep inside the DTXTREME IIs system, let’s take a look at its mechanism, structure, and basic ideas.

1 Send trigger signals to the DTXTREME IIs by hitting drum pads (or drums attached with a trigger pickup) connected to the

trigger input jacks 1 to 16 and the HI-HAT CONTROL and FOOT SW jacks.

2 Set each trigger input properly so that DTXTREME IIs can receive the trigger signals, and also assign a speciﬁc function to

each trigger input. You can assign songs (pad song) or note numbers other than those of MIDI channel 10 (rhythm and drum part) for a variety of performances.

3 Assign a drum voice to each note number of MIDI channel 10 (rhythm and drum part) so that you can play a drum voice by

hitting a drum pad. You can also specify how each drum voice will sound (volume, pan, etc.) in the kit. Optionally, you can activate MIDI settings for other parts when you choose the drum kit.

4 Set system effects applied to the entire drum kit, and insertion effects applied to speciﬁc drum voices.

5 Sound out drum and other voices as audio signals, according to the above settings 2 to 4.

The above settings 2 to 4 in combination are referred to as a drum kit — just as is indicated on the panel, with the three buttons TRIGGER, VOICE, and EFFECT outlined by DRUMKIT. When you press one of these buttons, you can start editing that part of the current drum kit. Your drum kits can be stored as up to 40 User kits (U1 to U40) in the DTXTREME IIs memory, or up to 99 User kits (C1 to C99) to an external memory card.

Page 35

Memory, Buffer, and

To save the current drum kit data, execute the store operation by pressing the STORE button.

Store Operation

When editing a drum kit, you need to be aware of the relationship between the storage memory and the working buffer. Every time you select (recall) a Preset kit or a User kit from the DTXTREME IIs internal memory or an external memory card, the drum kit data is copied to the working buffer.

Internal memory

(ROM)

n Because of the working buffer, you can select and edit any drum kit

card

even when it is a Preset kit (read-only data). When creating your original drum kit, ﬁrst select an existing Preset or User kit, edit it, and then store as a new User kit.

Drum kit data in the buffer will be used for everything — for your performance or for editing. Once you edit any data (change the data from its stored status), the rightmost dot in the LED display will light.

n The LED display may show the current tempo (page 76).

If you select another drum kit at this point, the dot will go out. This means other drum kit data is newly copied to the working buffer, overwriting the drum data you were working with. If you wish to save what you edited, make sure to do so BEFORE selecting another drum kit.

You do not need to select a new destination if you edit an existing User kit and overwrite it with edited data. However, if you edit one of Preset kits (P1 to P90) and want to store a new drum kit, you need to specify a User kit number in the internal memory (U1 to U40) or on the memory card (C1 to C99). After selecting the destination, press the ENTER/YES button. The following conﬁrmation message will appear in the display.

Press the ENTER/YES button again to execute the store operation. When complete, “Done.” will be shown brieﬂy. Press the EXIT/NO button to cancel the operation. In either case, the display will return to the default Play mode screen. Note that the dot in the LED display goes out after you execute the store operation.

You can store the current drum kit any time during editing. Save your edits often — frequent updates ensure that your important data is maintained.

5 PadCtl

When using a TP120SD or TP100 pad for the snare drum or tom (connected to trigger inputs 1 to 6), you can use the pad controller to adjust the drum tone. Specify a voice parameter (page 48) adjusted by the pad controller. Select a value that ends with an “R” letter, for simultaneous control for both pad and rim 1 voices.

n The decay+R value can continuously adjust the voice decay rate and

switch to another speciﬁc voice (strainer-off tone for the snare drum, for example) at a minimum setting.

n You can select any parameter here, but actual effect by the pad

controller depends on the drum voice selected in the voice settings.

6 Level

Set the range of trigger levels for the target input 1, as minimum and maximum values. Trigger levels within the speciﬁed range are accordingly converted into velocity values. If the trigger signal is below the minimum level, no sound is output. If the trigger signal exceeds the maximum level, it will be converted into the maximum velocity, speciﬁed with the Velocity 7 parameter. When you hit the pad, the trigger level is displayed as a percentage to the right of Level.

❏ Settings: Minimum level: 0~99, Maximum level: 1~100

7 Velocity

Set the range of velocity values that corresponds to the Level range 6, as minimum and maximum values. The drum voice will sound in the speciﬁed velocity range. When you hit the pad, the converted velocity value is displayed to the right of Velocity.

❏ Settings: Minimum velocity: 0~126, Maximum velocity: 1~127

n Setting a high minimum velocity will produce a loud sound when

you hit the pad lightly. However, this will narrow the dynamic range and reduce the amount of expressive control you have over the volume change.

Relationship between Trigger Level and Velocity

Ex. 1

In this illustration, velocity values are output for trigger levels between 12% and 99%. For a trigger level of 12%, the velocity is 001. For a trigger level of 99%, the velocity is 127.

Ex. 2

In this illustration, velocity values are output for trigger levels between 50% and 99%. For a trigger level of 50%, the velocity is 064. For a trigger level of 99%, the velocity is 127. No sound is produced (velocity value of zero) for trigger levels between 0% and 49%.

n This “trigger level to velocity” conversion is also applied to

the rim velocity (velocity output from the pad rim; page

41). When you use a pad rim for cymbal muting, the trigger level generated by holding the rim will be converted to a velocity value of zero.

1 Input=

Select a target trigger input (1 to 16).

2 SelfRej

Use this to avoid double triggering caused by the target input 1 itself, produced by stick rebound. If there are 2 trigger signals is generated at the input 1 within the speciﬁed period here, the second signal is detected as double triggering.

❏ Settings: 5ms (milliseconds) ~10.0s (seconds)

3 Rej

Use this to avoid crosstalk caused by vibrations while playing the drum kit. If a trigger signal is generated at the target input 1 and its level is lower than speciﬁed here, that trigger signal is detected as crosstalk.

❏ Settings: 0 (no rejection) ~9

4 Spec Rej

Use this to avoid crosstalk caused when hitting a speciﬁc (interfering) pad. If a trigger signal at the target input 1 is generated with a level lower than speciﬁed here, after the trigger signal at the interfering input speciﬁed here, the trigger signal at the input 1 is detected as crosstalk.

❏ Settings: Level: 0 (no rejection) ~9, Input: IN1~IN16

n Use the two right knobs for setting the level and interfering trigger

input.

Besides triggering a drum voice, drum pads connected to the trigger inputs can be used for various controls. Since this control function can also be assigned to the pad rim, you can play the head of the pad normally while using the rim to control a parameter or function. Keep in mind that a pad rim or head that is assigned to a control function cannot also be used to trigger a drum sound.

1 Input=

Select a target trigger input (1 to 16). For trigger inputs 1 to 8, you can select from two rims (1R1, 1R2, ..., 8R1, 8R2).

n Rim settings are effective with a dual trigger pad. In the Pad-to-

Input Matching Chart (page 16), for combinations indicated by “A (Best)” or “B (Good),” you can use up to two rims. You cannot use the pad rim for “C (Fair)” combinations.

2 Func

Select the function of the target input 1. This speciﬁes what you can trigger by hitting the drum pad or rim.

❏ Settings:

• normal: Plays a drum voice and outputs MIDI events.

• padsong: Controls a pad song. Specify a song with the

parameters 3~5.

• click: Enables or disables the click.

• inc: Increment — selects the next drum kit in the Play mode display, or selects the next step in the Chain Play display.

• dec: Decrement — selects the previous drum kit in the Play mode display, or selects the previous step in the Chain Play display.

•bypass: Temporarily disables trigger inputs other than the target input 1 (page 37).

• strt/stp: Controls playback of the main song (same as Start/Stop in the transport control).

• MIDI EG: Outputs Control Change data continuously (page

44).

Setting a Pad Song

You can play up to four pad songs from one drum kit. If you have already speciﬁed four pad songs for other trigger inputs, the following parameters 3~5 cannot be set and “---” is shown in the display.

3 Song

Select a song for the pad song. You cannot choose a song from the memory card.

❏ Settings: Preset or User song

4 Repeat

Enable or disable repeated playback of the pad song.

❏ Settings: on (enabled), off (disabled)

5 Mode

Specify how you want the pad song to play back.

❏ Settings:

• play: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the pad. Song will always play from the beginning.

• chase: Each time you hit the pad, the song will play one measure and automatically stop. If you hit the pad during playback, the song will resume playback from the next measure.

• cutoff: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the pad. If you start a different pad song during playback, the current song will stop.

n When you play multiple songs (main song and pad songs) with one

drum kit, keep in mind the MIDI channel assignments for those songs. You may get unexpected and confusing results if different data in two or more songs share the same MIDI channel.

[TrgMIDI1] Key On Mode

In this page you can specify how MIDI Note On events will be triggered when a pad is hit. Triggering by hitting a pad can be associated with pressing a key on the keyboard, and a triggered note will sound according to a speciﬁc rule. This rule is called the Key On mode.

1 Input=

Select a target trigger input (1 to 16). For trigger inputs 1 to 8, you can select from two rims (1R1, 1R2, ..., 8R1, 8R2).

n Rim settings are effective with a dual trigger pad. In the Pad-to-

Input Matching Chart (page 16), for combinations indicated by “A (Best)” or “B (Good),” you can use up to two rims. You cannot use the pad rim for “C (Fair)” combinations.

2 Mode

Specify the Key On mode for note numbers (page 42) assigned to the target input 1.

Each of the trigger inputs 1 to 16 (except for rims) can be assigned to play up to six notes simultaneously (stack mode), or up to nine different notes played in turns (alternate mode). Each of these has two different modes, mono and multi. In mono mode, previously triggered notes will be muted by newly triggered ones.

❏ Settings for other than rims (R1 and R2):

• stack: Stack & multi mode.

• alter: Alternate & multi mode.

• stkmono: Stack & mono mode.

• altmono: Alternate & mono mode.

• hold: A variation of stack & mono mode, letting notes triggered by hitting the pad continue sounding until you hit it a second time.

n If you only trigger a drum voice by hitting a pad, and do not play

either a chord (stacked notes) or a phrase (alternate notes), select a multi mode (stack or alter) here. If you select a mono mode, it will cut off notes triggered continuously, producing unnatural sounds.

There are three Key On modes for rims: Single mode, which is suitable for closed rimshots (cross sticking); hold mode, which is for sounding a rim voice as long as you want; and withpad mode, which is suitable for open rimshots.

❏ Settings for rims (R1 and R2 only):

• single: Plays a drum voice assigned to the rim of the target input

• hold: A variation of single mode, letting a rim voice triggered by hitting the rim continue sounding until you hit it again.

• withpad: Simultaneously plays a drum voice (and other stacked or alternate notes) and a rim voice for the target input 1 each time you hit the rim.

Page 41

n Withpad mode does not demand that you play a real open rimshot

[TrgMIDI2] Note Note# GateTime Channel Input=16 4th *88 E5 0.3s 10

14532

(hitting the pad rim and head at the same time). It lets you play both the pad and rim sounds by only hitting the rim.

3 TrgAltG

Specify the trigger alternate group number to which the target input 1 belongs. If multiple trigger inputs are grouped with the same number assigned, only one input from that group is enabled at a time. As a result, hitting a pad from that group will mute notes triggered by other pads in the same group. This is useful to prevent an unnecessary stacking of notes.

❏ Settings: off (not grouped, default), 1~32

n This function works in conjunction with the RvKeyOff setting

(page 52) for a drum voice associated with the trigger input (by MIDI note number). When a trigger input is enabled from a trigger alternate group, other trigger inputs from the same group respectively generate a MIDI note off event for the corresponding MIDI note number. This note off event is then sent to the internal tone generator and is used to mute a drum voice assigned to that MIDI note number. If this voice is set to receive the Note Off event (RvKeyOff=on), you can successfully mute its sound by the trigger alternate group setting. Otherwise (RvKeyOff=off), you cannot mute it even though the Note Off event is generated and sent to the tone generator.

4 RimVel

This parameter is available only when a rim (1R1 to 8R2) is selected for the target input 1, and determines how to output the rim velocity. The “trigger level to velocity” conversion (page 37) for the target input 1 is applied to all settings other than the ﬁx settings.

❏ Settings:

• mute hi: Outputs a velocity value according to how hard you hit the rim. When you hit (hold) the rim with strength below a certain level, a velocity value of zero is output and produces the muting effect. Select this if you connect a cymbal pad to the target input 1.

• mute lo: Same as mute hi, but the muting sensitivity is lowered. If you cannot easily get the muting effect with mute hi, select this setting.

• variable: Outputs a velocity value according to how hard you hit the rim. Select this if you connect a drum pad to the target input

• ﬁx1~ﬁx127: Outputs a ﬁxed velocity value regardless of how hard you hit the pad. However, you cannot use the muting effect with one of these ﬁxed values.

n If you connect and specify an RHP-series real head pad to the target

input 1, mute hi or mute lo for the rim velocity 4 will be shown in brackets. This means the trigger input and the pad type do not match, therefore the muting effect is disabled.

[TrgMIDI2] Note On Event

After you’ve speciﬁed how the trigger signal is converted into a velocity value (page 38), and how to produce a triggered sound (page 40), now go on to this page and specify the note for that sound with its pitch and length (note number and gate time), as well as the MIDI channel assignment. This determines a speciﬁc MIDI Note On event (consisting of channel, note number, and velocity) output when you hit a pad. Again, in this page, you can specify up to nine notes (including the basic note for a drum voice) according to the speciﬁed Key On mode, up to two notes for rims, and an optional note for muting respectively, by note number, gate time, and MIDI channel.

Edit Section

1 Input=

Select a target trigger input (1 to 16).

2 Note

Select a target note (1st to 9th for an alternate mode, 1st to 6th for the stack mode), rim notes (rim1, rim2), or a mute note.

When selecting the trigger input 1 for hi-hats (page 45), ﬁve notes are available for hi-hats instead of the 1st to 9th notes:

• open: For an open hi-hat sound by hitting the pad.

• clse: For a closed hi-hat sound by hitting the pad.

• fcls: For a foot-closed hi-hat sound.

• spls: For a foot-splashed hi-hat sound.

• clsRim: For a rim sound by hitting the pad while the hi-hat pedal is depressed.

• opRim1: For a rim1 sound by hitting the pad while the hihat pedal is released.

• opRim2: For a rim2 sound by hitting the pad while the hihat pedal is released.

n The mute note setting is a powerful performance feature that lets

you mute the sound played by the pad, simply by touching/hitting the edge or rim. More than that, it also lets you play a second sound. For example, you could perform a cymbal “choke” by grabbing the edge of a cymbal pad — and at the same time have a reverse cymbal or other sound play.

3 Note#

Assign a note number for the note 2 of the target input 1. Since the note number is shown with its note name (key and octave), both will change accordingly as you turn the associated knob. Also refer to the column below for more about the note number.

❏ Settings:

• off: Use this as end mark for the phrase. If you play a six-note phrase by setting to an alternate mode, set the 7th note to off. This enables you repeat the phrase by continuously hitting the pad. For stack modes, this setting has no effect.

• note number: Note numbers below 13 (C#-1) or above 94 (A#5) are shown in brackets. This means they will be output as MIDI events, but will not play sounds from the built-in tone generator.

• skip: Available only for alternate modes. Use this as a rest mark for the phrase. This enables you play a phrase containing rests by repeatedly hitting the pad.

n An asterisk (*) displayed to the left of a note number means that the

same note number for MIDI channel 10 has been assigned elsewhere, warning you that the same drum voice would be triggered from multiple pads. For your information, copying trigger settings from a Preset kit (page 44) ensures that the 1st note for each trigger input will sound a proper drum voice (e.g., bass drum for KICK, etc.).

4 GateTime

Set a gate time (note length) for the note number 3 to match the note length with the drumming or main song tempo, or to naturally sound a phrase containing rests. For the note on the channel 10 5 (drum voice), its note length is determined in conjunction with the voice settings (page 52).

❏ Settings: 0.0s~9.9s (in 0.1s increments), =1st

n For triggering a chord (multiple notes in a stack mode), you can

easily set the same gate time to all notes. Set any necessary gate time to the 1st note, then set the same value to the rest of the notes.

5 Channel

Set a MIDI channel for the note number 3. This channel will be used for both transmission and reception. You can use this channel for playing the built-in tone generator from an external MIDI controller, as well as sending the Note On event to an external sound module by hitting the pad.

❏ Settings: 1~16, =1st (same as GateTime, convenient for triggering

a chord or a phrase)

Setting the Note Numbers

MIDI note numbers are used to specify the pitch of a sound. Middle C, for example, is note number 60. In general, each note is indicated by its name and octave, such as C3 for middle C. So the note an octave above C3 is C4, and the note number is 72. This standardization makes things easier when playing notes on an external sound module.

You can easily set multiple note numbers for a chord or a phrase in the [TrgMIDI2] page (only available in this screen).

Using a Chord Name

To call up the following page, simultaneously hold down the SHIFT button and press the Rewind button.

Use the second-to-left and center knobs to specify a chord by its root and type. Also, you can automatically set the chord to the current trigger input, using up to ﬁve note numbers.

❏ Settings:

• Root: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B

• Type: Maj7, Maj, 6th, m7(11), Maj9, add9, min, min6, min7, m7(b5), mM7, min9, madd9, 7th, 7(#5), 7(b9), 7th9, 7(#9), 7(#11), 7(b13), 7(13), 7sus4, sus4, dim, aug

After you’ve selected a chord, press the ENTER/YES button. An “Are You Sure?” conﬁrmation message will appear in the display. Press the ENTER/YES button again to actually set the note numbers. Press the EXIT/NO button to cancel the operation. When you return to the previous page, try hitting the pad. You can play the chord in a stack mode, or arpeggio in an alternate mode.

Page 43

Using an External MIDI Keyboard

You can assign a note or multiple notes such as a chord using an external MIDI keyboard connected to MIDI IN on the rear panel. Select the 1st note 2 and then play the desired chord on the MIDI keyboard. The chord you play is automatically divided and programmed into individual numbered notes in played order (1st to 6th for stack modes, 1st to 9th for alternate modes).

n If you select a note other than 1st, only the ﬁrst note (of a

chord) you play will be assigned to that note.

2 Note

Select a target note (1st to 6th).

❏ Settings: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th

n You can select other notes, but cannot set the velocity crossfade

value 3 when “----” is shown.

3 VelXFade

Set a velocity curve (volume curve) for the note 2, to the pad playing strength (softly to hard). For example, you could set Curve 2 to the 1st note and Curve 3 to the 2nd. In this case, the 1st note will sound louder when you play more softly, and 2nd note will sound louder when you play harder.

Viewing the Current Assignments

Press the SHIFT and TRIGGER buttons simultaneously to call up the following page,

[TrgMIDI3] Velocity Crossfade

We’ve seen earlier how to convert the trigger signal into a speciﬁc velocity value, and you can guess that setting when applied to chords results in each note of the chord sounding with the same volume. In this page, you can set a velocity crossfade curve for each note triggered, applying a kind of natural randomness to the velocity of the notes in the chord.

n If you always use a speciﬁc pad only to trigger an external sound, set

NoAssign to that pad (note number) 3. However, if you normally play a voice 3 from the built-in tone generator, and sometimes replace it with an external sound, it is more convenient to temporarily mute the internal voice by disabling a speciﬁc Note On event sent to the built-in tone generator (page 80), which saves you the trouble of re-assigning NoAssign every time you need to replace a sound.

Special snare drum is a two-layered composite voice, which is created by combining two different drum voices, adjusting the volume balance between these voices, and modifying the composite voice tone using the Filter and Decay parameters. If you use a TP120SD or TP100 pad for the snare drum, you can also use the pad controller to dynamically adjust one of the following parameters for a dynamic tone change (page 37).

[Voice4] Envelope

[Voice5] Polyphony

This page lets you adjust the volume envelope of the voice assigned to the note number. Every musical instrument has a unique volume envelope that helps distinguish what kind of instrument it is. For drum or percussion instruments, their unique characteristics come from the attack and decay rates (speeds) in the volume envelope. Adjusting these two factors lets you create a variety of tonal nuances in the voice.

1 Note Number & Name

Determines a target note number (13~94: C#-1~A#5). Each note number is shown with a speciﬁc note name.

2 Attack

Determines the attack rate of the current voice. The larger the positive value, the faster the attack rate. The larger the negative value, the slower the attack rate. Keep in mind that if the voice originally has a fast attack rate, specifying higher values cannot make the rate faster past a certain point.

❏ Settings: –64~+63 (slower to faster)

3 Decay

Determines the decay rate of the current voice. The larger the negative value, the slower the decay rate. The larger the positive value, the faster the decay rate. If you want a cymbal with a long release, set its decay rate to a large negative value. A large positive value may cause the sound to cut off unnaturally.

❏ Settings: –64~+63 (slower to faster)

This page lets you set how many polyphonic voices are allowed for the speciﬁed note number. The built-in tone generator can play up to 64 polyphonic notes at a time. However, there may be times when this may not be enough — particularly if you play along with many parts in a song or play the drum kit with a large number of short notes. You can prevent this by limiting the polyphony for each drum voice.

Determines a target note number (13~94: C#-1~A#5). Each note number is shown with a speciﬁc note name.

2 KeyMode

Determines how the same voice is played in response to multiple notes.

❏ Settings:

• poly: No limitation until the DTXTREME IIs tone generator reaches maximum polyphony.

• semi8: Up to eight polyphonic notes — every initial note will be muted to play the 9th note.

• semi4: Up to four polyphonic notes — every initial note will be muted to play the 5th note.

• semi3: Up to three polyphonic notes — every initial note will be muted to play the 4th note.

• semi2: Up to two polyphonic notes — every initial note will be muted to play the 3rd note.

• mono: Only a single note — each note will be muted by the subsequently played note.

• himono: Same as mono, but excluded from the last-note priority rule — notes are never muted by other notes.

n If a note number (drum pad) is set to mono and assigned with a

voice with a long release (such as cymbal), hitting that pad continuously will cut off the previous sound unnaturally. However, setting every note number to poly to prevent this situation is not a good idea, since this may “steal” polyphony from other important parts.

3 AltGrp

You can put multiple note numbers 1 in a speciﬁc alternate group. By including several note numbers in the same numbered group here, prevents them from playing simultaneously. For realistic hi-hat sounds using several voices, assign HHpedal to the foot-closed voice and HHpad to other hi-hat voices triggered by the hi-hat pad and rims. This enables the foot-closed sound to mute any other hi-hat sounds when depressing the hi-hat pedal controller (HHpedal has priority over HHpad).

❏ Settings: off (not grouped), HHpedal, HHpad, 1~125 (group

number)

n Only a single note can play at a time from one alternate group, in

the last-note priority manner.

4 RvKeyOn

Determines whether the built-in tone generator receives Note On events for the note number 1. This is useful when you want to output them from MIDI OUT on the rear panel, without routing to the built-in tone generator, for the purpose of triggering only external sounds. Set this to on if you want to play voices from the built-in tone generator.

❏ Settings: off, on

5 RvKeyOff

Determines whether the built-in tone generator receives Note Off events for the note number 1. Set this to off if you want to ensure that a cymbal voice or a one-shot wave sample plays to its full duration.

❏ Settings: off, on

Using Note Off with Looped Voices

Most drum voices are one-shot samples and automatically stop playing at the end of the wave data without receiving a Note Off event (RvKeyOff = off). If you set these voices to receive Note Off events (RvKeyOff = on), adjust the gate time (page 42) properly to match their release time, otherwise playback of the sound will be cut off in the middle. On the other hand, the built-in tone generator also features looped voices, and these need to be set for receiving Note Off events (RvKeyOff = on), otherwise they will not stop playback. Because of this, Note Off is crucial to effectively using looped voices. To properly use a looped voice, set its note number to generate Note Off events (RvKeyOff = on) in conjunction with the gate time setting. For example, you can hit the pad every second measure to play a looped voice endlessly if the gate time is adjusted to match two measures in the performance tempo. You may also need to limit its polyphony to a single note (KeyMode = mono).

Effect Settings

DTXTREME IIs provides reverb and chorus as system effects, as well as two different insertion effects, and a threedimensional Localizer effect.

Reverb

This system effect includes 12 reverb types that let you recreate the ambience of a performance space — from a small room to a large concert hall. In the voice settings (page 53), you can specify the amount of reverb applied to each drum voice in the drum kit. This is useful, for example, if you want more reverb for the snare drum, but less for the bass drum.

Chorus

This system effect includes 13 chorus types of soft to hard modulations (chorus, ﬂanger, jet effect, and so on). In the voice settings (page 53), you can specify the amount of chorus applied to each drum voice in the drum kit. This is useful, for example, if you want unique ﬂanging sounds for hi-hats and other cymbals.

Sound Mixing that Fully Utilizes Effects

Slider controls on the top panel let you easily mix the instrument sounds of the DTXTREME IIs. However, you can also create more complex and more ﬂexible mixing schemes in conjunction with the output routing for each drum voice (page 53) and effect settings explained here. First, take a look at the following diagram. It shows possible output routings for each drum voice with several parameter settings.

Insertion Effects 1 and 2

These additional effects give you tools to further enhance the sound — or even completely change the sonic character of a voice. Each effect block has a wide variety of 44 types (chorus, ﬂanger, distortion, wah, etc.). These two insertion effects are arranged in parallel so that you can selectively apply the effects to speciﬁc drum voices in your drum kit.

Localizer

This effect is optimized for headphone monitoring and creates a realistic 3D sound image of your drum kit — placing each instrument in a speciﬁc “virtual” space in the 3D ambience, so that each sound appears to come from a different direction. This 3D effect can be speciﬁed separately for your drum kit and other instruments in the song, and gives you the feeling of playing drums in a realistic ensemble. This 3D effect is intended for headphones and cannot be heard well if played from normal speakers.

n Both insertion effects and the system chorus effect are automatically

disabled when the Localizer effect is active.

The actual effect settings include the output routing after drum voices are applied with an effect, and this is closely associated with the output setting of each drum voice. In other words, specifying the output of a drum voice also determines which effect can be applied to that voice. In the left part of the diagram, you can see four basic output options — stereo, InsFX1, InsFX2, IND — provided for each drum voice. Also, thru is added to the options when you enable the Localizer.

(Continued from previous page)

4 Completely Separate Effects

If you speciﬁcally set the output of each drum voice, system effects and two insertion effects can be used as four completely separate effects. Here is a example of applying four different effects to four separate drum voices and sending the signals to the stereo OUTPUT jacks:

Settings in the [Voice6] page...

•For drum voice 1: Output = stereo, RevSend = (other

than zero), ChoSend = 0

•For drum voice 2: Output = stereo, RevSend = 0,

ChoSend = (other than zero)

•For drum voice 3: Output = InsFX1

•For drum voice 4: Output = InsFX2

Effect settings:

•In the [Effect] page (master send levels to system reverb

and chorus effects): Localizer = off, RevSend = (other than zero), ChoSend = (other than zero)

•In the [Reverb] page (master return level from system

reverb effect): RevRetrn = (other than zero)

•In the [Chorus] page (master return level from system

chorus effect): Cho➝Rev = 0, ChoRetrn = (other than zero)

•In the [InsFX] pages: Type = (other than THRU) for FX

= 1, and RevSend = 0 (zero), ChoSend = 0, Output = stereo

•In the [InsFX] pages: Type = (other than THRU) for FX

= 2, and RevSend = 0, ChoSend = 0, Output = stereo

If you make four one-on-one routes (from voice to effect) and select a different effect (also different from system reverb and chorus effects) for each insertion effect, you can output each drum voice in stereo, each with a different effect applied.

Effect settings:

•In the [Effect] page (master send levels to system reverb and chorus effects): Localizer = off, RevSend = (other than zero), ChoSend = (other than zero)

•In the [Reverb] page (master return level from system reverb effect): RevRetrn = (other than zero)

•In the [Chorus] page (master return level from system chorus effect): Cho➝Rev = (any value), ChoRetrn = (other than zero)

•In the [InsFX] pages: Type = 2BandEQ for FX = 1, and RevSend = 0, ChoSend = 0, Output = IND1

•In the [InsFX] pages: Type = COMP for FX = 2, and RevSend = 0, ChoSend = 0, Output = IND2

With these settings, you can obtain the following results. Note that you can even count and use the stereo OUTPUT jacks as a pair of INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT jacks.

•Snare drum: Mono output from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 1 without system reverb and chorus effects, after processing with two-band equalizer from insertion effect 1.

•Bass drum: Mono output from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 2, after processing with compressor from insertion effect 2.

•Toms 1 and 2: Stereo output from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 3 and 4 without any effects applied.

•Toms 3 and 4: Stereo output from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 5 and 6 without any effects applied.

•Cymbals: Stereo output from OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) with system reverb and chorus effects applied.

In these examples, the output signal routing and effect settings are closely associated. Try out other signal routings for your speciﬁc applications and requirements.

Parallel Outputs with Effects

You can easily send a drum voice to the INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT jacks if you set Output to IND (in stereo pair or mono) in the voice settings. However, these settings only allow dry outputs of drum voices without any effects applied. You can also utilize insertion effects for parallel outputs of drum voices while applying your favorite effects.

Settings in the [Voice6] page...

•Output = InsFX1 — for snare drum

•Output = InsFX2 — for bass drum

•Output = IND3&4 — for tom 1

•Output = IND3&4 — for tom 2

•Output = IND5&6 — for tom 3

•Output = IND5&6 — for tom 4

•Output = stereo, RevSend = (any value), ChoSend = (any value) — for cymbals

Song Recording and Editing

As you may have already found out by listening to the Preset songs, the DTXTREME IIs has a built-in MIDI sequencer. This sequencer lets you not only play the drum kit along with playback of Preset songs, but also easily record your performance on the drum kit or MIDI keyboard as a User song (U1~U32). You can play a User song as main song or pad song (page 25).

Features of the Two-track Sequencer

Before you start your recording session, take a look below at

Song Recording and Editing

some of the things you can do with the built-in sequencer.

• Three Recording Modes

You can record a song in any of 3 recording modes — Replace, OverDub, Step (page 61). In Replace and OverDub modes, you can record your performance in real time. Within a speciﬁed number of measures, Replace mode offers one-way recording and OverDub mode offers repeated recording. With the Step mode, you can record MIDI events manually, one-by-one into the timeline (data entry area). You can also use Step mode for editing MIDI events you’ve recorded in Replace or OverDub mode.

• MIDI I/O to External Device

With real-time recording, you can use the built-in sequencer to capture a MIDI sequence played on an external sequencer or a personal computer. For this application, connect the DTXTREME IIs to the appropriate device to transfer MIDI data (page 18). You can also set the built-in sequencer to work in sync with an external MIDI device or to be controlled from that device.

• Using Preset songs

Preset songs are provided for playback only. However, you can copy a favorite song to a User song in the DTXTREME IIs memory — then mute the original drum track and play it yourself, or add your own phrases with an external MIDI keyboard in OverDub mode.

Preparation for Recording

Before you start recording a song, set up the DTXTREME IIs as described below.

n You can start recording a song even while editing a drum kit or

using other function modes. When you ﬁnish or cancel recording, you can resume working from the previous display.

• 2-Track Structure

The built-in sequencer offers 2 sequence tracks (Tr1 and Tr2) to each song, and you can use them for both recording and playback. Each track can contain any event on any MIDI channel (1 to 16). This means you can connect a keyboard to the DTXTREME IIs MIDI IN and (with the help of a keyboard playing friend) record both the keyboard performance and your drum kit playing in real time onto separate tracks. If you are a multi-instrumentalist, you can conveniently use OverDub mode to record several different parts, one at a time. Even after recording a part in Replace mode, you can switch to OverDub mode to record other parts onto the same track. Since you can merge contents on both tracks into one and free up a track (page 68), you can use one track only for a speciﬁc part to separately be recorded. The built-in sequencer is very simple to use, yet gives you a full set of comprehensive, ﬂexible tools to manage your recordings.

1. Select the desired User song (U1~U32) for recording in

the default Play mode display (page 23). If you select a new song, its default name (EmptySng) will appear as the song name. Set the desired tempo, beat, and click. You can change the tempo later when playing the recorded song.

KIT=P1 SONG=P1 TEMPO BEAT CLICK Kit name Songname =120 4/4

Tu rn knob

KIT=P1 SONG=U1 TEMPO BEAT CLICK Kit name EmptySng =120 4/4

n The beat (time signature) cannot be changed after recording. Also,

the tempo need not be set when recording in Step mode.

Page 61

2. Set any of the following as desired, using the utility

features.

•

Two-measure count before actual recording (page 82):

By default, you can lead into the recording with a twomeasure click count.

• Click count during recording (page 81): By default,

you can have the click count play throughout recording at the tempo and beat speciﬁed in step1.

• Sync settings to external devices (page 82): You can

control the built-in sequencer from an external sequencer, and sync to that device's tempo.

3. Press the Record button. The indicator will light up in

red, indicating that the built-in sequencer is set to recording standby. If you want to cancel recording, press the Record button again or press the EXIT/NO button (to return to the default display).

n Similar MIDI part settings also exist for the User kits (page 54).

If you enable both MIDI part settings, settings for your MIDI parts will change, both on the DTXTREME IIs’ built-in tone generator and the connected external sound modules — every time you select a User song or a User kit. Meanwhile, if you select a Preset kit or a User kit for which MIDI part settings are disabled, there is a chance that the recalled drum kit will not sound correctly or as expected. This will happen if the last recalled User song has changed settings for MIDI channel 10 (drum part). To play the recalled drum kit with the standard settings, simply select a Preset song. The current settings for MIDI channel 10 will automatically be changed to the standard default settings.

1 Dev.No

Determines the device number. When the same device number (1 to 16) is assigned, the DTXTREME IIs and another device can successfully exchange System Exclusive data (such as bulk data or parameter changes). The DTXTREME IIs can receive exclusive data all the time regardless of the device number, if you set this number to all.

❏ Settings: all, 1~16

n The device number is contained in System Exclusive data

transmitted from the DTXTREME IIs. For this reason, you do not need to set the device number to a value other than all, so long as the setting data stored on another device is used only for a single DTXTREME IIs. However, if you use two or more DTXTREME IIs units together (and each have different settings), you’ll need to be careful about the device number assignments for each unit.

4 Merge

This allows you to mix incoming MIDI data (received at MIDI IN) with MIDI data generated on the DTXTREME IIs, and output them together from MIDI OUT. Merge is enabled when this is set to on.

❏ Settings: off, on

n The Merge function is useful when you have an external MIDI

controller and want to use both it and the DTXTREME IIs to control a connected tone generator.

Utility Features

2 DumpIntrvl

Directory Structure and Stored Data Type

A properly formatted memory card has the following directory tree. Each operation in the CARD pages (read, write, rename, delete, and so on) is performed to a speciﬁc directory in the tree, depending on the type of data that is selected.

ALLDATA

YAM AHA

XXXX.MID

SMF

DTXTREME

1 The ALLDATA directory stores a ﬁle that contains all

setting data for DTXTREME IIs. This directory is used when you select all data for the target data type in each CARD operation.

2 The SYSTEM directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings available in SYSTEM pages in utility features. This directory is used when you select system for the target data type in each CARD operation.

3 The ONEKIT directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for the current drum kit (in the working buffer). This directory is used when you select one kit for the target data type in each CARD operation.

4 The ALLKIT directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for all User kits (U1 to U40). This directory is used when you select all kit for the target data type in each CARD operation.

5 The ONECHAIN directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for the current chain (in the working buffer). This directory is used when you select oneChain for the target data type in each CARD operation.

6 The ALLCHAIN directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for all chains (1 to 32). This directory is used when you select allChain for the target data type in each CARD operation.

7 The ONESONG directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for the current User song. This directory is used when you select oneSong for the target data type in each CARD operation.

)

8 The ALLSONG directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for all User songs (U1 to U32). This directory is used when you select all song for the target data type in each CARD operation.

9 The ALLVOICE directory stores a ﬁle that contains

settings for all user voices. This directory is used when you select allVoice for the target data type in each CARD operation.

n User voices are created using external System Exclusive

parameter change data. Since they cannot be created on the DTXTREME IIs itself, you will not normally select allVoice.

) The AUTOLOAD directory is used to load sample

ﬁles. If you store an AIFF or WAV audio ﬁle in this directory on the computer, the DTXTREME IIs will automatically load that ﬁle when it is turned on. You can use the auto-loaded sample as an original drum voice. For your information, an auto-loaded sample must have an eight-character name beginning with a two-digit number (01 to 99), followed by a character that speciﬁes which slider can control the volume level of that audio ﬁle (drum voice). The character must be C, H, K, M, S or T—CYMBAL, HI-HAT, KICK, MISC, SNARE or TOM. Plus, you need to end the name with a three-character extension. Names such as “01SFAT.AIF” (No.01 Fat Snare) or “32CSWISH.WAV” (No.32 Swish Cymbal) enable to control the sample volume with an appropriate slider.

n The AUTOLOAD directory is used only in association

with a computer. You cannot use it with CARD operations.

! The VOLUME directory is a parent directory used to

store a waveform sample captured on the DTXTREME IIs. If you create a volume (page 87), it will be created as a subdirectory contained in the VOLUME directory. You can use this subdirectory to store your captured samples, and specify it as wave directory (page 47) for your custom drum kit samples.

n You can use your computer to make a volume

(subdirectory) inside the VOLUME directory. Once you make a volume, it can also be used to store all necessary ﬁles — drum kits, songs, chains, waveform samples, and even AIFF or WAV audio ﬁles created on the computer — for speciﬁc situations, such as recording sessions or live performances, for which you want to load all necessary ﬁles with a single CARD operation. You need a computer to transfer the necessary ﬁles to the subdirectory (they cannot be transferred using the CARD operation).

@ When you want to play an SMF (Standard MIDI File

Type 0) MIDI ﬁle on the DTXTREME IIs, specify its name with a eight-character name beginning with a two-digit number (01 to 99) plus a “.MID” extension (i.e., MYSONG.MID) and put it in the root directory (where the YAMAHA directory resides) of the memory card. You can select and play the MIDI ﬁle when you specify a song from the card (C1 to C99) with the appropriate card inserted in the CARD slot.

Appendix

Handling the Memory Card (SmartMedia

Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.

* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

■ Compatible Memory Card Type

3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory Cards are not compatible with this instrument.

■ Memory Capacity

There are ﬁve types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/ 16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Floppy Disk Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum.

■ Inserting/Removing Memory Cards

• To insert a Memory Card:

Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section (gold) of the Memory Card is facing upward and forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it is ﬁtted in place. Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction. Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot.

• To remove a Memory Card: Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to conﬁrm that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument’s display.

* It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and making

directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically access the Memory Card to check the media type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card and possibly the Memory Card itself.

■ Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it must ﬁrst be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is unnecessary for you or not, beforehand.

n The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may become

unusable with other instruments.

■ About the Memory Cards

• To handle Memory Cards with care: There are times when static electricity affects Memory Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as a door knob and aluminum sash. Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card slot when it is not in use for a long time. Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way. Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card or put any metallic plate onto the metal part. Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable. Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

•To protect your data (Write-protect):

To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of the Memory Card. Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card. Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.

■ Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory Card is lost or damaged.

● Make sure the pads and triggers are connected correctly to the input jacks of the DTXTREME IIs.

● Make sure the connectors from the DTXTREME IIs OUTPUT jack (and NOT the INDIV. OUT jack) are

plugged correctly to the input jacks of the ampliﬁer or mixer.

● Raise the volume by using the volume slider.

● Make sure the input level is displayed on the LCD when you play the pad or drum with a trigger.

● Raise the minimum value of the level range.

● Make sure the outport settings of the voice is not “INDIV. OUT.”

● Make sure the Trigger Bypass switch in Utility mode is OFF .

● Check the Local Control in Utility mode. The Local Control should be “on.”

● Check the cables.

The External Tone Generator is Not Making a Sound

● Make sure the MIDI connectors are correctly connected.

● Make sure the MIDI channels match the input jack numbers of the connected external devices.

● Make sure the value of the MIDI note numbers are set correctly.

● Make sure the Trigger Bypass switch in Utility mode is “off.”

The Sound does not Match the Settings

● Make sure you have not plugged the monaural phone plug when the power is still ON. This sets the rim switch ON on the DTXTREME IIs. Turn the power OFF and ON again.

● Make sure the output MIDI channel is set to Drum Voice (ch=10).

● Make sure the pad type is set correctly. If set incorrectly, the mute and egde functions will not work properly.

The Velocity (Sound) is Too Small

● Raise the gain setting.

● If the pads have an output or velocity control volume, adjust them (by raising them).

● Raise the velocity.

● Tr y a different velocity curve.

● Raise the volume of the voice.

● Make sure the input type is correct.

● Reset the INPUT ATTENUATION switch on the rear panel.

The Triggered Sound is Not Stable (When using acoustic drums)

● Make sure you have select the correct input type. Try a larger drum.

● Make sure the trigger pickup (DT series) is securely fastened with new sticky tape.

● Make sure the cable is securely inserted into the DT series jack.

Appendix

Page 92

Double-triggering

● If you are using a sensor made by other manufacturers, it may be sending a large signal causing doubletriggering.

● Make sure the head is not causing irregular vibration. If it is, it is necessary to mute the head.

● Make sure the sensor is ﬁxed near the rim (above the bearing) and not near the center of the head.

● Make sure that nothing is touching the sensor.

● If the pads have an output or velocity control volume, adjust them (by lowering them).

● Raise the rejection parameter. Be careful not to set it too high or it may cause a sound to be muted when

another drum is played at the same time.

● Tr y switching the INPUT ATTENUATION switch on the rear panel.

You are Experiencing “Crosstalk”

● Replace the sensor away from the nearby drum.

● The minimum input level needs to be higher.

● Raise the gain setting.

● Raise the rejection parameter.

The Sounds are Cut when you Play Continuously

● If you are playing a rim shot, set the RIM Velocity parameter in Drum Kit Trigger Edit mode to a setting other than “mute hi” and “mute lo.”

● Set the unnecessary 2nd notes on to “off” in Drum Kit Trigger Edit mode.

● Set the Key mode in Drum Kit Voice Edit mode to “semi2,” “semi3,” “semi4” and so on.

Appendix

Only 1 Sound is Heard when 2 Pads (Drums) are Played

● Raise the gain setting of the pad (drum) that is not making a sound.

● Lower the rejection parameter of the pad (drum) that is not making a sound.

● Make sure that the pads (drums) are not assigned to the same group in the Alternate Group settings in Drum

Kit Voice Edit mode.

The Sound is Too Loud (The Velocity is Permanently Too High)

● Lower the gain setting.

● Lower the minimum value of the velocity range.

● Tr y another velocity curve.

● If you are using a sensor made by other manufacturers, it may be sending a large signal.

● Reset the INPUT ATTENUATION switch on the rear panel.

Page 93

The Footswitch Works Oppositely

● Turn the power switch on again with the footswitch connected to the rear panel. The DTXTREME IIs will automatically detect the polarity of the switch and enable regular operation. (If the power is currently ON, turn it OFF once and then ON again).

● Make sure you are not stepping on the footswitch when you turn the power ON.

The Bass or Chord Patterns do Not Play in Pattern or Song Mode

● Make sure the tracks are not muted.

● Make sure the Tr parameter in Song Play mode is not set to “mute.”

The DTXTREME IIs does Not Receive any Switch or Trigger Data

● A data error has occurred. Turn the power OFF and then ON while holding the Play and Trigger buttons and the DTXTREME IIs will reset to its initial settings. Beware that all the data will be lost. Frequent data backup storage to external MIDI devices such as the Yamaha MDF3 is recommended to prevent lost data.

The Sound will Not Stop

● Some sounds may have an extremely long release when the Rev Key Off function is enabled. In such a case, press the Audition button while holding SHIFT to temporarily stop the sound.
