Differences Between the DTX-PRO and the DTX-PROX DTX-PRO The DTX-PRO provides basic functionality such as Click (metronome), Recorder, and Training features. Moreover, by using the KIT MODIFIER knobs, you can intuitively control the AMBIENCE, COMP and EFFECT settings. Various Training menus can be accessed from the [TRAINING] button. 120 CLICK (Metronome) KIT MODIFIER TRAINING RECORDER Descriptions in this document are based on version 1.02 of the DTX-PRO firmware.
Differences Between the DTX-PRO and the DTX-PROX Reference Manual Notations Model name This document refers to the DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX collectively as the “PRO series modules.” The following icons and background colors are used to distinguish between each model.

How the Triggers Generate Sounds The word “trigger” refers to the trigger signals (information on the strength of the strike and the location in the pad it was struck) generated each time a pad is struck. The drum trigger modules play sounds when trigger signals are received via the trigger input jacks. The Relationship Between Trigger Input Jacks, Trigger Inputs, and Trigger Input Sources This section explains the relationship between the trigger input jacks, trigger inputs, and trigger input sources.
How the Triggers Generate Sounds Trigger Input Jack Input Mode You can set the input mode for the [!2KICK/!3] jack, [yTOM3/u] jack, [rTOM2/t] jack and the [wTOM1/e] jack. Input modes available include “separate” and “paired.” separate With the “separate” setting, the trigger input jack is separated into two single inputs to be used with two Insts. For example, the trigger signal received by the [!3] jack is connected to the trigger input source “Pad13.” The “KickRm” sound is not produced.
How the Triggers Generate Sounds Sounds that are played by trigger (Inst and Voice) You can assign an Inst or voice to each trigger input or trigger input source to play sounds. Inst “Inst” refers to each of the percussion instruments (snare, tom, cymbal, and kick) used in a drum set for the kit. With the PRO series modules, you can use a different inst on each trigger input. Voice “Voice” refers to a sound that makes up an Inst.
How the Triggers Generate Sounds User Voices In addition to the internal voices, you can import audio files and play them as user voices. There are different ways of importing audio files. Importing audio files to trigger inputs Import an audio file by specifying a pad. All input sources play the same wave. Importing audio files to trigger input sources Import an audio file by specifying an input source. Each input source plays a different wave. You can also specify the desired layer: A, B, C, or D.
How the Triggers Generate Sounds Selecting the Trigger Input or Trigger Input Source On the screen for the parameters in which the trigger input or trigger input source setting is required, the trigger input name or trigger input source name and its layer (A, B, C, or D) is displayed on the upper right.
How the Triggers Generate Sounds Individual Trigger Input Source Settings In MENU/Kit Edit/Voice or MENU/Utility/Pad, for example, or in any setting screen in which the trigger input source setting is required, press the “TRG ” ([F3]) button to open the screen for changing the trigger input source. Screen for Changing the Trigger Input Source Name of the currently selected trigger input source Trigger input source The trigger input source can be changed with the [–][+] controllers.
Effect Processor Design The DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX have the same effect block design. Effects are divided into two groups: the effects applied to each kit and the effects applied to the entire system.
Effect Processor Design Effects applied to each kit KIT MODIFIER is comprised of three blocks (Ambience, Comp, and Effect), and the amount of effects on these blocks can be adjusted with the corresponding knobs. Ambience There are two types of Ambience effects as shown below. RealAmbi This is the acoustical characteristics recorded in an actual studio setting. Note that this is not available for some Inst sounds. The depth can be set for each Inst.
Effect Processor Design Inst Effect These effects can be set to each Inst (or pad). The following four effects are connected in series. EQ This is a three-band EQ that allows different gain, frequency, and other settings to be made for each band. Transient Adjusts the attack and release. Comp Finely adjusts the comp settings. Insertion The same effect types as those of MFX can be used. Note however that these effects cannot be applied to Pad3, Pad5, Pad7, or Pad13.
PRO Series Modules Internal Memory Edited content saved to the internal memory lets you hold the data even after the power has been turned off. Trigger settings (MENU/Trigger on the DTX-PRO, or TRIGGER mode on the DTX-PROX) and other general settings (MENU/Utility) as well as system settings can be saved. Data That Can Be Saved to the PRO series modules The following types of data can be saved to the PRO series modules.

MENU Button Trigger (PRO) TRIGGER/SETTING (PROX) Trigger (DTX-PRO) TRIGGGER/SETTING (DTX-PROX) PRO PROX TRIGGER TRIGGER/SETTING This section explains the “Trigger” settings in the menu on the DTX-PRO and the Trigger mode of the DTX-PROX. The characteristics of the trigger signals output from pads when they are played depend on a range of different pad design factors. The “Trigger” settings allow you to optimize trigger signals for each pad for processing by the PRO series modules.
MENU Button Curve MENU/Trigger/Curve Settings Selects a velocity curve for the selected pad. A velocity curve determines how the velocity of the sound is affected by how hard you strike the pad.

MENU Button Pad Type What is a Pad Type? In order to ensure that you get the best sound from each and every pad, we have prepared a full range of optimized trigger parameters (i.e., various values related to pad input signals and the like), and named them accordingly. These groupings of parameters are referred to as “pad types.” Given that pads come in many different varieties, such as kicks, snares, toms, cymbals, and drum triggers, it follows that pad characteristics vary widely.
MENU Button Screen Parameter Settings Description Gain 1–127 Sets the gain (amplification) of the input signal for when hitting the pad selected in Pad Type. NOTE With a high setting, all input signals above a certain level will be amplified to the same level (i.e., the maximum level). This means that variation in the softness or hardness with which the pad is struck can be smoothed out.
MENU Button Screen Parameter Settings Description WaitTime 1–64 (msec) Sets the time until the target pad detects a trigger signal. Adjust the setting so that the trigger signal is detected at its peak and that the strength for striking the pad corresponds to the volume of the sound produced. RimGain 1–127 Sets the rim gain level of a multi-piezo pad connected to a multi-piezo supported jack. When using a mono × 2 input jack, this parameter is effective only in the paired input mode.
MENU Button Crosstalk The term “crosstalk” refers to the output of trigger signals from an electronic drum pad (including an acoustic drum with a drum trigger attached) other than the one that was struck as a result of vibrations or interference between pads. Crosstalk is prevented by suppressing any trigger signal sound that is lower than the specified value.
MENU Button PROX Preset MENU/Trigger/Preset Screen Parameter Settings Description This copies a preset trigger setup to the user trigger setup currently being edited. Store your settings to save changes. Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. Use the [–][+] controllers to select a preset trigger setup. Press “OK” ([F3]) to copy the trigger settings to the user trigger setup currently being edited. Press [EXIT] to return to the TRIGGER screen. Press the [STORE] button to save the settings.

MENU Button Screen Parameter Settings Description MIDI LocalCtrl off, on Enables (on) or disables (off) the internal tone generator when performing with pads. This is normally set to “on.” When set to “off,” the trigger input section and tone generator section are disconnected within the PRO series module, so no sound is produced when the pads are struck.

MENU Button Screen Parameter Settings Description FootClosePos -32 – 0 Use this parameter to adjust the position at which the hi-hat switches from open to closed when the hi-hat controller or the hi-hat pedal is operated. The lower the value, the smaller the virtual opening between the top and bottom hi-hats. FootSplashSens off, 1–127 Use this parameter to set the degree of sensitivity for detecting hi-hat foot splashes.
