DTX900

1. Connecting to the Drum Trigger Module

Connect your drum triggers to the jacks for the DTX900 voices you wish to play by using the stereo audio cables that came with

the triggers. Refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your DT50S/DT50K for details on how to use the drum triggers and

mount them on acoustic drums.

2. Setting Parameters on the Drum Trigger Module

This section describes how to set parameters to play voices by using signals from DT50S/DT50K triggers connected to your

drum trigger module.

2-1. Selecting the Pad Type

Set the pad type for the DT50S/DT50K connected to the trigger input jack. Make sure to select the appropriate pad type for the

drum trigger in order to take full advantage of its functions.

1. Press the [TRIGGER] button to access Trigger mode.

2. Press the [F2] button to open the PadType parameter page.

3. Set the PadType parameter.

Select the trigger input jack (q), and then set the pad type (w). Refer to the table below for settings.

(S): Only the head trigger of the DT50S will produce a sound.

*: If mounting a DT50S on a bass drum, such as in the Yamaha Junior Kit, set the PadType parameter to “DT50K”.

NOTE

• The DTX900 has only one dual mono input jack (L: trigger, R: trigger)—[!0KICK/!1]. If you wish to produce two sounds with a DT50S (which is

designed for snares and toms), one for a head shot and one for a rim shot, connect the trigger to this jack.

• You can connect multiple DT50S/DT50K triggers to the module. See

TIPS! for sample connections.
