Trigger Mode

[TRIGGER]
This chapter explains the Trigger mode called up via the [TRIGGER] button.

In the Trigger mode, you can set the parameters related to the Trigger Signals received from the pads or Drum Triggers (such as Yamaha DT20) which are connected to the Trigger Input jacks. These settings let you optimize the DTX- TREME III for best operation and response to the Trigger Signals. If you are using drum triggers attached to acoustic drums, or pads you’ve bought separately, you’ll need to adjust the sensitivity and assign Voices to the individual Trigger Input Sources.

This mode also has settings that help prevent crosstalk* and double triggering*.

*Crosstalk

A triggering problem in which the vibration generated by hitting a certain pad may cause unwanted triggering in another (usually adjacent) pad.

*Double triggering

A triggering problem in which two or more Trigger Signals may be generated simply by hitting a certain pad once.

NOTE

•Creating an appropriate Trigger Setup is necessary to get optimum results and obtain the expected response and sound when you hit the pads. One good way to ensure this is to find an exisiting Trigger Setup close to your favorite one, then edit it.

•Once you have found or created your favorite Trigger Setup, it is a good idea to assign the Trigger Setup number to the TriggerNo parameter in the display called up via the [UTILUITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF4] STARTUP. In this way, you can have your favor-

ite Trigger Setup number automatically called up every time you turn the power on.

•Refer to page 26 for details about the [SF6] Input Lock.
