Hi-hat splash sounds
are not produced as
intended
Adjust the “FootSplashSens” parameter from MENU/Utility/Pad. Hi-
hat splash sounds will not be produced if “off” has been set here.
Pads with position
sensing do not pro-
duce sounds properly
• Check the “Pad Type” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. When this is not set prop-
erly, the cymbal pad may not be fully functional.
• Make sure to connect the pad to the proper jack that supports posi-
tion sensing.
• Select an Inst or a voice that is compatible with position sensing.
For more information, refer to the Data List (PDF).
Reliable trigger sig-
nals cannot be pro-
duced (when using a
drum trigger attached
to an acoustic drum)
• Check the “Pad Type” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
• Ensure that the “Gain” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type is
not set too high.
• Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha drum
triggers (trigger sensors) or pads. Products from other manufactur-
ers can output excessively large signals, which in turn can result in
double triggering.
• Ensure that the heads are not vibrating in an irregular manner, and
mute them if so required.
• Ensure that drum triggers have been installed properly.
• Increase the “Reject Time” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
Avoid setting too large a reject time, as this can make it impossible
to accurately detect flams, rolls, and the like.
• The longer the bass drum sound, the easier it is to cause double
triggers. Adjust the drum so that it produces a shorter sound. Try
muting/tuning the head/changing the head.
Pads are only pro-
ducing sounds at
very high volumes
(i.e., high velocities)
• Ensure that the “Gain” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type is
not set too high.
• Adjust the “Velocity Curve” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Curve.
• Check the “TrgVel” setting in MENU/Kit Edit/Kit Modifier/Voice/Mes-
sageType. For example, if this parameter is set to “127,” the maxi-
mum velocity will be produced even when the pad is struck lightly.
• Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha pads.
Products from other manufacturers can output excessively large sig-
nals.
Pads produce
unintended sounds
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• If an external MIDI device played from the DTX-PRO does not pro-
duce the expected sounds, review its voice settings for the MIDI
channel on which the DTX-PRO is sending data, and ensure that
they are appropriate for the MIDI data being sent.
• Voices assigned to layers B, C, or D may cause unintended sounds.
• In some cases where unexpected sounds are produced when you
have connected a two or three-zone pad to any of the [
wTOM1/e],
[
rTOM2/t], [yTOM3/u], [!2KICK/!3], [qSNARE] or [!4] jacks. If
so, with Pad 3, Pad 5, Pad 7 or Pad 13, set the “Pad Type” parame-
ter to “off” in MENU/Trigger/Pad Type. With Pad 1 or Pad 14, select
the proper pad type in MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
• Check the crosstalk setting, min level setting and sensitivity setting.
Sounds are distorted • Ensure that effects have been set appropriately. Sound can be dis-
torted with certain combinations of effect type and parameter set-
tings.
• Ensure that the “VoiceFilter” parameter in MENU/Kit Edit/Voice is
configured properly. Depending on the VoiceQ settings (filter reso-
nance), distortion can be caused.
• Lower the DTX-PRO’s master volume.
Sounds play end-
lessly and do not stop
Ensure that the hold function is not turned on.
Press [EXIT] while on the kit screen (top screen) to stop the KIT
sounds.
