Selecting the Trigger Setup

The Trigger Setup contains various settings related to Trigger Input Signals received from pads or drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) that are connected to the Trigger Input jacks. These settings let you optimize the DTXTREME III for best operation and response to these signals.

Select an appropriate Trigger Setup for your Drum Kit from the pre-programmed Trigger Setups in the DTXTREME III. Use the operation described below to select the Trigger Setup you want to use.

NOTE

•You can create your original Trigger Setup by editing various parame- ters. For details, see page 108.

CAUTION

•For Factory Set operations that take longer to process, a message “Please keep power on…” appears during processing. While such a message is shown (while data is being written to Flash ROM), never attempt to turn off the power. Turning the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This may cause the instrument to not start up properly, even when turning the power on next time.
