DTX502

You can use drum triggers with DTX502 drum trigger modules of Version less than 1.30, but in such

a case, you will need to set parameters individually. We recommend updating the module, as it will

make setup easier.

Follow the steps below to use your drum triggers without updating the DTX502.

1. Connecting to the Drum Trigger Module

Connect your drum triggers to the jacks on your DTX502 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 drum triggers and mount them on acoustic

drums.

2. Setting Parameters on the Drum Trigger Module

2-1. Selecting the Pad Type

Set the pad type for the DT50S/DT50K connected to the trigger input jack.

1. While holding down the [SHIFT] button, press the [SAVE/ENTER] button to access Menu Mode.

2. Turn the Data Dial to select the Trigger area, and then press the [<]/[>] buttons to select the TRG3 page.

3. Strike the head of the connected drum to select the trigger input (q). Alternatively, you can change the selection by holding

down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [<]/[>] buttons.

4. Turn the Data Dial to set the pad type (w). Refer to the table below for settings.

*1: The following jacks on the DTX502 each comprise a pair of mono inputs (L: trigger, R: trigger): [wTOM1/!0], [eTOM2/!1],

[rTOM3/!2], and [uKICK/i]. 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.

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