DTX-PRO Reference Manual
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.
This section explains the relationship between the trigger input jacks, trigger inputs, and trigger input sources.
Trigger input jacks
Trigger input jacks on the DTX-PRO include [qSNARE] through [!4].
By switching the input mode on the [!2KICK/!3] jack, [yTOM3/u] jack, [rTOM2/t] jack, and [wTOM1/e] jack, you can change
between the trigger input and trigger input source.
The [qSNARE] jack and the [!4] jack can be used for a single-piezo 3-zone pad or a multi-piezo 2-zone pad. (The setting is changed automat-
ically when the PadType is selected.)
Trigger input sources
Trigger input source is a trigger signal transmitted from each zone of a pad.
When the DTX-PRO receives a trigger signal from a pad, they play the trigger input source.
