Having difficulties
during perfo-
mance
Cymbal/Hi-hat
sounds are too soft
The DTX-PRO pro-
duces sound but the
sensitivity (i.e., vol-
ume) is too low.
Orientation of the
cymbal pad is incor-
rect
Shaft on the Hi-hat
pad is loose
Extra felt is attached
The pad type or trig-
ger parameter setting
is incorrect
Slider is set to the
minimum
The level settings for
the pad are improper
The cymbal edge
switch has not been
detected
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. If this is set improperly, the
cymbal pad may not be fully functional.
• The shaft on the hi-hat stand may come loose during use and cause
the hi-hat pad to rotate. If this happens, the pad may not function
properly. To avoid the problem, we recommend that you tighten the
shaft and check the position of the hi-hat pad on a regular basis.
• Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower volume.
• Ensure that the Pad Type and trigger parameters are set correctly. Is
the pad type shown by the “Pad Type” parameter in MENU/Trigger/
Pad Type correct? (Select the proper pad type for the cymbal pad
connected to the DTX-PRO.)
• The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allow this to be
adjusted.
• Ensure that slider on the MIXER screen for the pad for which a
sound is not being produced is set high enough.
• Ensure that the drumstick is parallel to the pad surface when strik-
ing the pad. The edge sensor switch on the cymbal pad may not
react properly when the pad is struck completely from the side.
Double triggers are
being produced
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• If the pad or drum trigger in question features a controller for adjust-
ing output or sensitivity, turn it down.
• Ensure that the “Gain” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type is
not set too high.
Sound is produced
without striking the
pad Sound is pro-
duced by a pad that
was not struck
(Crosstalk is occur-
ring)
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• Set the “Reject Lvl” parameter from the MENU/Trigger/Crosstalk to
an appropriate level.
• If using a separately-sold pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure that
the level has been set appropriately.
• Ensure that the “Minimum Level” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad
Type has been set appropriately.
Only one Inst is
played when two
pads are struck
simultaneously
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not
producing sound, and raise the value of its Gain parameter.
• From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not
producing sound, and lower the value of its MinLevel parameter.
Sounds are skipped
during rolls and flams
Reduce the “Reject Time” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/
Pad Type.
Cannot choke
Cannot mute
• Check the “Pad Type” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad.
If the orientation of the pad is set improperly, the cymbal pad may
not function fully.
Foot closed hi-hat

played
It is difficult to pro-
duce closed hi-hat

or the hi-hat pedal.
• Lower the setting of the “FootClosePos” parameter in MENU/Utility/
Pad.
• Is the pad type shown by the “Pad Type” parameter in MENU/Trig-
ger/Pad Type?
• Ensure that hi-hat pad or the hi-hat controller is correctly connected
to the [CONTROL] jack of the DTX-PRO.
• Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower volume.
• Ensure that slider on the MIXER screen for the pad for which a
sound is not being produced is set high enough.
