The Trigger Input Jacks are all labeled (1 KICK, etc.
Setting Up Setting up with Acoustic Drums With the optional Yamaha DT10 Drum Triggers attached to a set of acoustic drums, it is possible to connect acoustic drums to the DTXPRESS. ■ A setup example using both acoustic drums and drum pads. Referring to the illustration shown below, connect the output cable from each pad and drum trigger to each Trigger Input Jack located on the rear panel of the DTXPRESS. * When using the drum triggers, appoint suitable settings in the Trigger Setup Edit mode’s [1-1.
Setting Up ■ Connecting a Mixer or Audio Equipment ■ Connecting a MIDI Device Connecting the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear of the DTXPRESS to a mixer or audio equipment allows for audio reproduction through external speakers or the recording of your performance. Data in the DTXPRESS can be stored (Bulk Dump) to a Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, etc. or other MIDI device. Also, an external sequencer can be used to drive the DTXPRESS’ Tone Generator.
Setting Up ■ Connecting a CD Player, etc. (AUX IN jack) ■ Connecting the Power Supply The audio output from a CD player or cassette deck connected to the AUX IN jack (stereo mini) on the front panel can be mixed with the sound of the DTXPRESS and transmitted via the output jacks on the rear panel.

Change the Drum Kit When the click voice resembles voices that are found in the song it might be hard to hear. In this case it is a good idea to change the click voice. • We will use the factory set 4-beat click voice (a high and low bell voice) as an example here. Change voice that is heard on the first beat.
Record Your Performance Next, let’s try recording your performance to the DTXPRESS’ sequencer. With song data you record you can switch drum kits, change the tempo and playback in the same way as preset songs. ■ Recording System • Recording can be done in any of the user songs (No. 96-127) that supplied for recording. You cannot record to preset songs (No. 1-95). • User songs contain 2 tracks that can be recorded to. Recording can be done one track at a time.
Record Your Performance ● When the Record Mode is set to Replace (“Rpl”). The following display will appear while recording (only displayed, cannot be changed). The measure number currently being recorded. REC M= 18=Rp1†=1 Now Recording. When the end of the assigned measure number is reached, recording will automatically stop, and the display will return to the Drum Kit & Song display. * You can also stop recording by pressing the [START/S] button. ● When the Record Mode is set to Overwrite (“Ovr”).
Create Your Own Original Drum Kit You can assign voices you like to each of the pads, and set the tuning (pitch), voice, decay, reverb, etc. to create your own original drum kit. 1.

Getting More Out of Your DTXPRESS ■ Connecting a Computer The following two methods are available for connecting the DTXPRESS to a computer. 1. Directly connect the computer’s serial port to the DTXPRESS’ TO HOST jack. 2. Connect the DTXPRESS’ MIDI IN jack to the computer through a MIDI interface. 1. Directly connect the serial port to the TO HOST jack. The method used for connect and transferring signals between a computer and the DTXPRESS is basically the same, no matter what type of computer is used.
Reference This section describes each function of the DTXPRESS in detail. You can use it like a dictionary to look up the functions you can’t understand. Each mode is listed in the same order as they are displayed in the DTXPRESS. The Table of Contents (P. 6) and Index (P. 85) will assist in locating functions and lists.

DTXPRESS Internal Makeup ● Tone Generator The DTXPRESS’ tone generator contains a total of 910 drum and percussion voices. Preset Drum Kits use an exclusive Drum Kit Map for each kit in which voices for the kit are assigned to individual MIDI note numbers. The User Drum Kit uses one drum map (User Drum Map) that is common for all drum kit numbers 49-80. The Utility mode’s [5. Map (Drum Map)] group can be used to assign voices to each MIDI note number (0-127) and edit the drum kit.
Drum Kit Play Mode This mode enables you to play the DTXPRESS drum voices by hitting the pads (or drums with trigger sensors attached) connected to the DTXPRESS. The DTXPRESS automatically enters this mode when the power is switched on. You can select and play from 48 preset drum kits and 32 user kits. Also, the drum kit, trigger setup and song specified in this mode will be selected and ready for editing when the Drum Kit Voice Edit, Trigger Setup Edit and Song Job modes are entered.
Drum Kit Play Mode Drum Voice Category K, k S, s C, H T, t, P, E, e, L, m When the DTXPRESS is controlled by an external sync, “ext” will be displayed. * The external sync setting is found in [3-6. Sync Mode] (P. 57). e Repeat Playback [Range] —, rp Sets the repeat playback (repeat continuously from the beginning to the end of the song) of the song. When this parameter is set to “rp”, the song will repeat playback. When this parameter is set to “--”, the song will playback normally.
About the Song The DTXPRESS can internally store data for a maximum of 127 songs that can be played back freely. Song numbers 1-95 are preset songs and song data in those songs cannot be changed or rewritten. Song numbers 96-127 are user songs that can be used to record new performance data and also edit song data in. ■ Song Makeup The Song consists of two sequencer tracks plus header data.
About the Song ■ Pad Song Playback (Start/Stop) To playback a Pad Song, hit the pad that is assigned to the Pad Song you want to playback. Hit the same pad during playback will stop the song. Hit the pad again to start the song from the beginning. * Before using, set the pad’s function to “Pad Song Control” and assign a song to the pad (m Drum Kit Voice Edit mode [2-6. Function], [2-7. Pad Song] P. 44).
About the Song Song Recording Song recording lets you record data, produced as the drum kit is played, to the sequencer in real-time (one track at a time). All MIDI channels (1-16) are recorded simultaneously. Also, data produced by a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN jack can be recorded as well as sequencer data received via the MIDI IN/TO HOST jacks. According to the recorded sequencer data (performance information), drum kits and voices can be changed during song playback.
Trigger Setup Edit Mode This mode contains various settings related to trigger input from the pads and trigger sensors that are connected to the DTXPRESS. It allows you to adjust pad sensitivity and assign drum voices to each trigger input. Trigger Setup data consists of seven preset types (No. 1-7) and four original setup types (No. 8-11) for storing user setup data.

Error Messages An Error Message will appear when incorrect settings or operation are detected, or abnormal operation occurs. Check the Error Message below and make the appropriate corrections. ERROR Data Initialized This message appears just after the power is switched on and the device can not correctly read the data. The cause of the problem may be that the backup RAM data has been damaged or the backup battery power is low.
Trouble Shooting The DTXPRESS does not produce sound, and does not recognize trigger inputs. ● Is the pad or trigger sensor properly connected to the DTXPRESS’ trigger input jack? (m P. 10) ● Is the volume knob on the front panel turned down? (m P. 8) ● Is the input level displayed when the pad is hit? (m P. 36 [1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity]) ● Is the gain set too low? (m P. 36 [1-2. Gain, Minimum Velocity]) ● Is the Utility mode’s [1-2. Trigger Bypass] bypass switch set to “ON”? (m P.
Trouble Shooting Double-triggers are produced. ● Are you using a sensor made by a manufacturer other than Yamaha? If the signal is too large, double-triggers may be produced. ● Is the head causing irregular vibrations? It may be necessary to mute the head. ● Is the sensor attached close to the center of the head? Move the sensor closer to the rim (above the bearing). (m P. 11) ● Is the sensor in contact with anything else? ● Pads with output or sensitivity control volumes should be adjusted (lowered).
