Creating a Drum Kit

The DTXTREME III lets you create your own original Drum Kit by assigning your favorite Drum Voice to each pad and setting its tuning, pan, decay, reverb, etc.

<Terminology>●Drum Voice

A Drum Voice is an percussion/drum instrument assigned to each pad. Assigning Drum Voices to pads makes up a Drum Kit.

●Drum Kit

A Drum Kit is a collection of Drum Voices assigned to the individual pads. Selecting a Drum Kit assigns the Drum Voice(s) to each pad.

●Voice Set

When you connect a stereo pad (referred to as a “two-zone pad” and “three-zone pad”) to the Trigger Input jack (pages 12 and 60), a different Drum Voice is triggered by the pad depending on the section you hit. A set of Voices that can be triggered from a single pad is referred to as a “Voice Set.” You can assign a Voice Set to each pad (Trigger Input jacks).

Here, select a Voice Set for each of pads (Trigger Input jacks) to create your original Drum Kit.

1 Press the [DRUM KIT] button to enter the Drum Kit mode, then press the [F1] PLAY button as necessary.

2 Select the desired Drum Kit by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons.

A good idea is to select a Drum Kit that is close in sound to the type of kit you intend to create. Here, select “PRE: 01.”

3 Press the [F2] VOICE button, then the [SF1] SELECT button to call up the display shown below.
