Setting Up
●Some Advice on Connections
• Trigger Input Jacks from 1 KICK to 8 HI HAT are stereo
input type jacks.
Pads equipped with trigger switches like the TP65S,
PCY65S, PCY130S, etc. can be connected to these jacks.
• 3-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY150S, etc. can be con-
nected to Trigger Input Jacks 2 SNARE, 6 RIDE, and 7
CRASH1.
• The DTXPRESS III’s input jack parameters are preset with
settings suitable for pads that correspond to the input’s la-
bel (KICK, SNARE, etc.). If any other type of pad is go-
ing to be connected to an input jack, that jack’s parameters
(sensitivity, etc.) should be changed to settings that suit
the pad.
• Sensitivity is set in the Trigger Setup Edit mode’s [1-1.
Pad Type] (Reference Guide : P. 12).
• The input sensitivity switches (INPUT ATTENUATION)
are sensitivity switches that correspond to Trigger Input
Jacks 1 KICK-6 RIDE.
The switch’s L position corresponds to a low sensitivity
for pads like TP, KP, PCY, BP, etc. The H position corre-
sponds to a high sensitivity proper for use with the DT20
Drum Trigger, etc.
• The HH series Hi-Hat Controller can be used as a kick
pedal (assign settings in section [1-1. Pad Type] (Refer-
ence Guide : P. 12)).
• In addition to the 1 KICK jack, the 9 CRASH2/10 jack
can be used to connect a second bass drum pedal to create
a double-bass drum set.
• The 9 CRASH2/10 jacks correspond to a 2-trigger input
that uses a stereo jack for L (9) and R (10).
You can use an conversion cable plug (stereo plug m mon-
aural plug x2) to input two separate trigger signals.
When a stereo cable is used to connect the KP65 Kick
Pad, you can use the KP65’s Input Jack as the input for the
DTXPRESS III’s Trigger Input Jack 10 (assign settings in
section [2-3. Input Exchange] (Reference Guide : P. 15).
