No sound, even when the pad is hit.

●Check whether or not the lamp of the TRIGGER INDICA- TOR lights when you hit the pad. If not, make sure the pads and Drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) are con- nected correctly to the input jacks of the DTXTREME III. (page 12)

●Is the DTXTREME III properly connected to headphones or an external audio device such as an amplifier and speaker ? (page 19)

●Is there a problem with the cable you are using ?

●Check whether or not the power of the external audio device connected to the DTXTREME III is turned on. Also check whether or not the volume level of the external audio device is adjusted properly.

●Check whether or not the Pad Function is assigned to the

pad you hit. The Pad Function parameter setting can be confirmed in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF2] PAD FUNC. If a specific function is assigned to the corresponding pad, hitting the pad trig- gers no sound.

●Check the Trigger Bypass parameter (page 126) in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF3] TRGBYPS. If this parameter is set to on, no sound is pro- duced even if you hit any pad.

●Check the Local Control parameter (page 130) in the dis- play called up via [UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF1] SWITCH. If this parameter is set to off, the internal tone generator will not accept the Trigger Input Signals.

No sound or the sound volume is lower than expected.

●Check whether or not the volume sliders (page 31) on the front panel of the DTXTREME III are set properly.

●Check the Volume parameter (page 80) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF2] OUT- TUNE. If this parameter value is too low, raise the value.

●Check the Volume parameter (page 95) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F6] OTHER → [SF1] COM- MON. If this parameter value is too low, raise the value.

●Check the Volume parameter (page 124) in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF1] TG. If this parameter value is too low, raise the value.

●Check the Gain and Velocity Curve parameters (page 109) in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. No sound may be produced depending on the settings on this display.

●Check the OutputSel parameter (page 81) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF2] OUT- TUNE. If this parameter is set to a value other than “L&R+ph,” the sound of the corresponding pad is not output via the PHONES jack and OUTPUT jacks.

●Check the Attack and Decay parameters (page 83) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF3] EQ-TONE. No sound may be produced depending on the settings of these parameters.

●Check the Effect and Filter settings. No sound may be produced especially depending on the Filter settings.

The external MIDI tone generator produces no sound.

●Is the MIDI cable (connector) properly connected? (page 20)

●Make sure the MIDI Transmit Channels of the DTXTREME III match the MIDI Receive Channels of the connected external MIDI tone generators. For information about the MIDI settings in the Drum Kit mode, see page 96. For information about the MIDI settings during Song play- back, see page 103.

●Check whether or not a specific drum instrument of the external tone generator is properly assigned to the corre- sponding MIDI note number (generated by hitting the pad connected to the DTXTREME III). If no instrument is assigned, no sound is produced on the external tone generator even if you hit the pad.

●Make sure the Trigger Bypass parameter (page 126) is set to off in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF3] TRGBYPS.

●Check the MIDI IN/OUT parameter (page 131) in the dis- play via [UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF3] OTHER. If this parameter is set to “USB,” the DTXTREME III cannot communicate with the external MIDI tone generator con- nected via the MIDI cables.

Unexpected sound is produced.

●Check the Pad Type parameter in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If the combination between the Input and the Pad Type is not appropriate, unex- pected sound may be produced.

●When the external tone generator connected to the DTX- TREME III via MIDI produces unexpected sound, check whether or not the Voice setting for the tone generator’s MIDI channel equivalent to the Transmit channel of the DTXTREME III is properly set.

●Make sure you have not plugged the monaural phone plug or monaural pad when the power is still ON. This sets the rim switch ON on the DTXTREME III. Turn the power OFF and ON again.

Sound is distorted.

●Are the Effect settings appropriate? Use of an Effect at certain settings may produce distortion.

●Check the Filter and Resonance parameters (page 83) in the display called up via the [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF3] EQ-TONE. Distorted sound may be produced depending on the settings of these parameters. Exces- sively high filter resonance settings can cause distortion.

●Is the MASTER VOLUME set so high that clipping is occurring?

Wrong pitch or unexpected pitch.

●Check the Tune parameter (page 124) in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF1] TG. If this parameter is set to a value other than “0,” unex- pected sound may be produced.

●Check the Tune parameter (page 80) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF2] OUT- TUNE. If this parameter is set to a value other than “0,” unexpected sound may be produced.
