Setup Procedures

DTX-MULTI 12

1. Connecting to the Instrument

Connect your drum triggers to the jacks for the DTX-MULTI 12 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 Instrument

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

instrument.

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. While holding down the [SHIFT] button, press the [UTILITY] button to access the Trigger setting area.

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons and the [ENTER] button to navigate to the TRG2 section, and from there to the TRG2-1 settings

page.

3. Set the pad type.

Use the [ ] button to move the cursor to the jack name (q) and the pad type (w), and set each one with the [–/DEC] and

[+/INC] buttons. 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 Type parameter to “DT50K”.

NOTE

• The following jacks on the DTX-MULTI 12 each comprise a pair of mono inputs (L: trigger, R: trigger): [!4/!5] and [!6/!7]. 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 one of

these jacks.

• You can connect multiple DT50S/DT50K triggers by using a commercially available Y-cable. See

TIPS! for sample connections.

Navigating between sections

Each setting area is subdivided into a number of different sections (e.g., TRG1, TRG2). Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to navigate between

these sections. Each section contains a number of parameter setting pages (e.g., TRG1-1, TRG1-2) that are used to make actual settings.

With a section page displayed, press the [ENTER] button to access its parameter setting pages (which are arranged hierarchically). You

can use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to navigate between the parameter setting pages.
