Your DTX will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given below:

Location

Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions, to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. Direct sunlight, such as near a window. High temperatures, for example, near a heat source, outdoors, or in a car during the daytime. Excessive humidity. Excessive dust. Strong vibrations.

Power Supply

Always use the supplied Yamaha AC Adaptor (PA-1207, PA-3B or an equivalent) to power your DTX. Other adaptors may cause damage to the DTX. Also, make sure that the adaptor you have is appropriate for the AC mains supply voltage in the area where you intend to use the DTX. Turn the power OFF and unplug the AC adaptor when the instrument is not in use. Unplug the AC adaptor during electrical storms. Avoid plugging the AC adaptor used with the DTX into the same AC mains outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage. Turn off the power before making or breaking connections. To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), always turn the power switches of all related devices OFF before connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.

Electrical Interference

The DTX contains digital circuitry and may cause interference or noise if placed too close to TV sets, radios, or similar equipment. If such a problem does occur, move the DTX further away from the affected equipment.

Memory Back-up

The DTX contains a special long-life battery that retains the contents of its internal RAM memory even when the power is turned OFF. The backup battery should last for several years. When the back-up battery needs to be replaced, the message “ERR-Low battery” will momentarily appear on the display when you turn the power ON. When this happens, have the back-up battery replaced by qualified Yamaha service personnel. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE BACKUP BATTERY YOURSELF. Transfer important data from your DTX to a MIDI data recorder such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer for safe long-term storage. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for data loss caused by battery failure or improper operation of the DTX.

Service and Modification

The DTX contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry can lead to irreparable damage and will void the warranty. Refer all maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Handling and Transport

Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors, or other parts of the instrument. Always plug and unplug any cables by gripping the connector, not the cord itself. Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument. Dropping the DTX or otherwise subjecting it to strong physical shocks can damage it. Handle it with care.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet and panel with a soft dry cloth. A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt. Do not use solvents such alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet or panel. Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument. Vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface.

Third-party Software

Yamaha cannot take any responsibility for software produced for this product by third-party manufacturers. Please direct any comments about such software to the manufacturer or their agents.

Yamaha is NOT responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

When changing the batterhead, carefully remove the trigger sensor with a sharp object before loosening the head. Take care not to pull the cord when you are removing the trigger.

ATTENTION

Make sure the surface of the batterhead or the shell where the trigger is mounted is free from dirt or grind. Clean the surface with alcohol in advance.

To prevent broken trigger cords caused by the vibration of the drum rim, cover and fix the triggers and cords onto the batterhead with sticky tape.

Irregular vibration and sustained resonance on the batterhead or the shell may cause double-triggering. This can be prevented by applying a mute (such as the Yamaha Ring Mute) to the batterhead and controlling the excessive vibration.

Once you have removed the drum trigger and want to mount it again, be sure to completely remove the used sticky tape and apply new sticky tape. Using used sticky tape may cause bad pick-up response or double-triggering.

Overall Structure and Modes

The following describes how the DTX works in detail.

Drum or Percussion Sounds and Drum Kits

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

Your DTX has a total of 928 drum voices (drum and percussion sounds). These drum and percussion sounds are categorized and called “drum kits.” Drum kits consist of drum voices which are stored in correspondense to MIDI note numbers (P.41) There are 29 user drum kits and 32 preset drum kits which are frequently used, each categorized by music style. You can assign drum and percussion sounds to register 32 user drum kits. Each drum and percussion sound can be edited in many ways such as changing the pitch, adding a reverb, etc. You can use the chain function to set drum kits in the order of your preference and play them back in this order. This function is useful for live performances. Your DTX also contains 128 normal keyboard voices. These voices are used to add bass or chord parts to the DTX rhythm pattern. It is also possible to play a melody or obbligato by changing a part (MIDI channel). The tone generator section complies to the GM standard level 1 and can be used to play back the commercially available Standard MIDI Files by an external sequencer.

Pattern and Song

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

A “pattern” consists of a rhythm track containing various drum voices and a backing track containing the chords and bass line which accompanies the rhythm. The rhythm pattern is displayed on the LCD in 4 parts: KICK, SNARE, CYMBAL and MISC. (other instruments) enabling you to visually check the rhythm structure.

Your DTX contains 660 preset patterns (110 styles x 6 sections) with matching preset backings. 100 original user patterns can be created and stored within the DTX. In the same manner as the drum kit, the patterns can also be played back in a specified order using the chain function. These patterns arranged in a specific order and combind with suitable chord progression create a “song”. Chords can be established by combining each root note with 25 chord types. A maximum of 30 original songs can be created using preset or user patterns. You can also actualy play a melody, obligato or drum part and store it as a song. It is also possible to play a drum kit to a particular pattern or song.

Creating a Song

You can create a song on the DTX by following the steps below:

! Audition the preset patterns in a preset style and find the pattern of your preference (P.71).

" If you do not find a pattern of your preference, create your original pattern in the order of drum, bass, and

chord and store it as a user pattern (P.80).

# Place the pattern and chord on the backing track of the song in the order according to the structure of the

song (P.99). It is also possible to enter the tempo changes.

$ Audit the backing track and record the necessary brass refrains, string obligatos, and melody to the

sequence track (TR 1 or TR2) (P.105).

% To complete the song, adjust the tones, volume balance and pan position of each part.

Triggering

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

The term “triggering” refers to drive a tone generated from the DTX. The DTX is designed to produce a trigger signal when a pad or a drum with a trigger sensor connected to the DTX is hit. By assigning up to 5 types of voices of your preference you can produce them at one time by triggering a single signal from a drum pad. This can be used to perform various effects.

Initializing Process

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

Problems due to program conflict may occur when internal settings have been changed while you are using the DTX. It is possible to initialize your DTX if you need to set all of the settings back to factory preset conditions in one procedure for this reason or other.

Once the initialization is executed, the factory preset settings will replace the current contents. Please take precautions to avoid losing your important data. It is also recommended to store the settings you need to save in advance to external devices such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer (MDF2). (See P.199)

The following changes will occur when the initialization is executed.

● The contents of the preset drum kit will be copied to the user drum kit.

● All of the chain data will be deleted.

● All of user songs and user patterns will be deleted.

● All of the parameter values that can be changed will be set to their standard values.

Turn the power switch on while holding the DRUMKIT, PAGE ¡, and PAGE ⁄ buttons all at the same time.

Individually Adjusting the Volume of Snare and Kick

The volume of the snare and kick can be adjusted independently from other voices. Move the ACCOMP (SNARE/CYMBAL) volume slider or CLICK (KICK/MISC.) volume slider while holding SHIFT to adjust the volume of the SNARE voice or KICK voice separately from other voices. This is very handy at live performances where you can directly control the volume of SNARE, KICK.

These volume sliders are originally programmed to function as volume adjustment sliders for an accompaniment part of a pattern (ACCOMP) or metronome click (CLICK) when the SHIFT button is not pressed. You can change the slider assignment between ACCOMP and SNARE, CLICK and KICK by changing the parameters in Slider Mode on the 5th page (P.116) in Utility mode. This enables you to use these volume sliders to directly control the volume of the SNARE and KICK.

When playing the pads to a pattern or song, you can balance the volume of the drum voices you are triggering with the pads and the pattern or

song, as well as adjust the volume of each part of the accompaniment or rhythm independently. Refer to P.75 for details.

Drum Kit Trigger Edit Mode

This mode contains various settings to adjust the sensitivity or velocity of the inputs from pads and triggers or assigning drum and percussion sounds to each pad (input). You can create a new drum kit from scratch or by modifying preset drum kits or existing user drum kits.

These new drum kits can be stored in the user drum kit area (No. 1 to 32).

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. If you have written over No. 1 to 29 , turn the power on while holding down the DRUM KIT, PAGE up and PAGE down keys at the same time to reset it to its original 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.

You cannot edit a preset drum kit. The changes made to the preset drum kit are temporary. If you want to keep the edited data, select a user drum kit and save the changes to the user drum kit.

Use the blank chart provided at the end of this manual (P.166) to memo the editing contents of the user drum kit.

11 Note= (note numbers settings)

This function assigns note numbers to each input. You can assign up to 7 MIDI note numbers to each input jack. When a trigger signal is sent to the input jack, the MIDI note number assigned to that input jack is sent to the internal tone generator, which delivers the sound assigned to that number. This enables you to play 1 pad and deliver multiple (up to 5) drum sounds. The order of the 5 drum sounds to sound can be designated. By setting the Key On Mode (P.43), the sounds can be delivered simultaneously, or one by one. This feature can be applied to a wide range of ideas and enhance the efficiency of your performance. The MIDI note number can also be transmitted from the MIDI OUT jack on the rear panel of the DTX to an external device. This means you can play a pad and control an external MIDI tone generator or sequencer. Various drum and percussion sounds can be assigned to each note number in Drum Kit Voice Edit mode (P.50). Refer to P.41 for further information on note numbers.

produced at one time. When a 3rd voice is triggered, this function truncates one of the first 2 voices and delivers the 3rd voice.

mono ............ One voice can be delivered at one time.

When a 2nd voice is triggered, this function truncates the first voice and delivers the 2nd voice.

hi mono ........ Truncates the previous voice and produces

only one voice at a time. However, the note number selected in this mode overrules the other voices. For example, the note number selected here will not be truncated even if the number of voices produced at one time exceeds the maximum number of 32 voices.

10 AlterGrp (alternate group)

This sets the Alternate Group for each voice assigned to each MIDI note number. The Alternate Group is a group of voices which should not be delivered at the same time. For example, by assigning an open hi-hat with a closed hi-hat in the same Alternate Group, the open hi-hat sound will be canceled once the closed hi-hat sound is delivered.

Pattern Play Mode

In this mode, there are 660 preset patterns (110 styles x 6 sections) and 100 user patterns to choose from. Change the tempo or chord, adjust the volume of each part, switch sections--a variety of patterns are available for any kind of performance you like. You can practice rhythm by playing the pads to a pattern. You can also mute parts that are not necessary. This mode can be applied in thousands of ways.

The Concept of “pattern”

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

Track Structure

Each pattern consists of 3 tracks: chord, bass, and rhythm.

Chord

Bass

Rhythm

Types of Patterns

Your DTX contains 660 preset patterns (110 styles x 6 sections) and 100 user patterns.

Style

Style refers to the music category of the pattern. There are 110 different styles and 6 sections for each style. Select a section for a style to make a preset pattern.

Section

6 sections are available for each style. A section is a music component combined to create a music piece. The preset patterns have the following six sections programmed:

MAIN A ........ This is the default section. It can be used for the basic verse and chorus structure of a pattern.

MAIN B ........ This is the alternative section. It can be used to bridge patterns.

The following 2 transmission sections play immediately when selected:

FILL AB ........ Used to make the transition between the verse/chorus section and the bridge section. This section continues to MAIN B.

FILL BA ........ Used to make the transition back to the verse/chorus section. This section continues to MAIN A.

INTRO .......... Used for the introduction of the pattern. This section continues to MAIN A.

ENDING ....... Ends the pattern play when completed.

Drum kits are programmed to change in a present pattern. To keep the drum kits from changing automatically. Set the parameter “RecvCh10 PC” on the 17th display page in Utility mode (P.118) to “off”.

Pattern Record Mode

You can records original patterns to user pattern numbers 111 to 210. Each pattern consists of 3 tracks: rhythm, chord, and bass (P.71). You can create patterns by real-time recording: hitting connected pads or playing a connected MIDI keyboard, or step recording: inputting notes one after another one step at a time. Step recording makes it possible to input rather complex beats which would be difficult to play in real time.

8. Setting the Quantization

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

Set the quantization values for the recording. Quantization helps to produce a “tight” recording by automatically aligning notes to the nearest specified beat as you record. For example, if you want to record directly from a hi-hat on the eighth note, you can record your hi-hat sound precisely to the eighth note by setting the quantization value to the eighth note.

The quantization set here will be the minimum unit of the recording data. Pick the shortest quantization in the piece used for the phrase or rhythm you are recording. The performance will be recorded exactly as played if the quantization is OFF. You can also assign the quantization afterwards (P.91).
