• Each Preset Drum Kit has its own Drum Map

• User Drum Kits No. 49-80 use a common (one) Drum Map.

Tone Generator

Transmits key on/off, program

change, note number, etc.

MIDI data to a computer or an

external MIDI device.

Audio Signal Output

Along with 7 preset trigger setups (No. 1-7), there are another 4

user trigger setups (No. 8-11) available for storing original setups.

After selecting a trigger setup for use, the data will be copied to

the Trigger Setup Data Buffer where the copied data will be used

in performance. (Refer to the illustration above.)

Setup data can be freely changed in the Trigger Setup Edit mode

and saved, if necessary, to the User Trigger Setup’s memory (No.

8-11).

● Pad Data Signal Flow

In order for the DTXPRESS to effectively manage trigger signals

transmitted from the pads connected to the Trigger Input Jacks (1

KICK, 2 SNARE, … 9/10) and the HI HAT CONTROL jack, trig-

ger signals are adjusted to a suitable signal in the Trigger Setup

Buffer using the Trigger Setup.

Signals transmitted from the Trigger Setup Buffer will enter the

Drum Kit Buffer.

In the Drum Kit Buffer, the Drum Kit is set as to what voices will

be used and how voices will be delivered for each of the Trigger

Input Sources. The Tone Generator’s Voices will be produced

according to these settings and its audio signal will be transmitted

to the OUTPUT jacks and PHONES jack.

● Drum Kit Data

This mode is used for setting drum kit voices, for example, assign

a voice to each pad (trigger input source) used in the drum kit and

perform settings such as selecting the voice, tuning, reverb level,

etc.

The DTXPRESS has 48 preset (No. 1-48) drum kits and another

32 user (No. 49-80) drum kits that are used for saving original

drum kits created by the user.

As in the Trigger Setup, the selected drum kit’s data will be copied

to the Drum Kit Data Buffer where the copied data will be used in

performance. (Refer to the illustration above.) This Drum Kit data

can be freely changed in the Drum Kit Voice Edit mode and saved,

if necessary, to the User Drum Kit’s memory (No. 49-80).

● Trigger Setup Data

This mode is used for adjusting the trigger input, from pads and

trigger sensors connected to the Trigger Input Jacks, to a suitable

signal the sensitivity and velocity curve settings. (The signals char-

acteristics will change according to the strength of the hit.) Also,

cross-talk and double-trigger can be effectively eliminated with

the settings available here.

Preset Drum Kits use an exclusive Drum Kit Map for each kit in

which voices for the kit are assigned to individual MIDI note num-

bers.

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.

Along with the DTXPRESS’ drum and percussion voices, the

DTXPRESS possesses a variety of keyboard voices (128 voices)

that are based on the GM System Level 1. It is possible to deliver

piano and brass voices by hitting the pad and playback songs with

the internal sequencer or from external sequencer data. A maxi-

mum of 32 voices can be delivered simultaneously.

● Song Data

● Page Navigation

The DTXPRESS contains 95 preset songs (No. 1-95) that consist

of not only drum parts but also keyboard, brass, etc., accompani-

ment parts.

You can enjoy the songs as they are or mute the song’s drums or a

single drum voice (snare drum, etc.) and play along with the drum.

Also, you can record your performance to the User Song memory

(No. 96-127). Each song consists of two tracks and each track can

include data for MIDI channels 1-16.

Press the [PAGEs] button to move to the previous page, the

[PAGEt] button to move to the next page. Hold the button to

scroll through the pages.

● Select the Parameter

The flashing parameter on the display is specified for setting.

• Use the [SEL<] and [SEL>] buttons to move the cursor (the

flashing character or symbol).

The [SEL<] button moves the cursor to the left while the

[SEL>] moves the cursor to the right.

• When there is only one parameter on the display, the [SEL<]/

[SEL>] buttons will not operate.

● MIDI/TO HOST Jacks

All drum kit setting data and sequencer data are managed with a

MIDI data.

By connecting the DTXPRESS’ MIDI OUT/IN jacks to the MIDI

IN/OUT jacks on an external MIDI device, MIDI data can be ex-

changed. The TO/HOST jack is used to transmit and receive MIDI

data from a computer.

According to the MIDI data transmitted from an external MIDI

device or computer connected to the DTXPRESS, drum kits can

be switched, the song can be controlled and the tone generator can

be sounded freely.

● Change the setting

The setting (value) of flashing parameter on the display can be

For example, song data (sequencer data) transmitted from an ex-

ternal sequencer to the DTXPRESS’ MIDI IN jack can be used to

play the voices produced by the DTXPRESS’ internal tone gen-

erator.You can use the DTXPRESS to play along with these songs

and record both external sequencer and DTXPRESS parts.

Also, MIDI data produced when the DTXPRESS can be transmit-

ted to an external MIDI device and/or computer. Playing the

DTXPRESS in this configuration allows you to trigger the exter-

nal tone generator’s voices and when a drum kit is switched, have

the external MIDI keyboard’s voice change as well. The

DTXPRESS’ data can be stored to, as well as retrieved from an

external MIDI device.

Adjusts the input gain level (minimum sensitivity) for the trigger

input jack assigned in step qTRIG IN.

Entering a larger value here allows smaller input levels to sound

the voice.

* This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad

type is set in [1-1. Pad Type]. Some fine-tuning of the value will

Sets the MIDI Velocity (volume) that is transmitted when the pad

is hit the weakest. Large values will produce a high volume level

even if the pad is hit softly. However, this will result in a narrow

volume range making it difficult to adequately produce wider dy-

namic levels.

tween the 2 layers that are delivered by each layer wof the input

source q.

This function sets the MIDI note number for each layer wthat is

transmitted when a signal is received from the input source q.

This function sets the reverb send level wfor the voice (layer 1, 2)

delivered by the input source q.

This sub-mode sets the common settings between 2 layers for voice

parameters of each pad’s input source.

The actual reverb send level will be determined by multiplying the

level set here with the level set in [5-2. Drum Reverb Send] (P. 23).

This function sets the Alternate Group and Key Assign Mode for

the voice (layer 1, 2) delivered by the input source q.

Alternate Group: This is a group of voices assigned to the same

group number that should not be delivered at the same time.

For example, by assigning an open hi-hat with a closed hi-

hat to the same group number, the open hi-hat sound will be

canceled once the closed hi-hat sound is delivered.

In the Input Common Parameters edit display, first it is necessary

to select the input source qfor editing. (Refer to page 16 on how

to select the input source.)

note number is set to more than one pad within the same drum kit,

the lowest numbered trigger input jack will take priority. Regard-

less of which pad is struck, the same voice (setting) will be deliv-

ered.” So, when the setting is invalid in edit displays [2-1. Cross

When a low data value is received from the foot controller, the

voice will sound sooner. So, slightly pressing the foot controller

will result in the voice sounding. In the case of the hi-hat control-

ler, delicate adjustment of the controller’s “closed” point is pos-

sible.

wT (Foot Splash Detect Time)

Sets the detect time for the foot splash. Large values make foot

splashes easier to produce.

* Please refer to the [MIDI Data Format] (P. 50) section for more

information related to MIDI.

* Values too large will result in splashes being produced under

normal hi-hat use.
