Basic Structure of the DTXTREME III

Trigger Setup

The DTXTREME III provides Trigger Setup parameters for optimum handling of the trigger signals transmitted from the pads and to ensure the expected sounds are produced. The Trigger Setup parameters include sensitivity (determining how the DTXTREME III responds to the trigger signal) and settings for avoiding problems such as double-triggering (two sounds played at the same time) and cross-talk (mixed input signals between the jacks).

The DTXTREME III lets you create up to five original settings as User Trigger Setups as well as the seven preset Trigger Setups.

Pad and Trigger Input Jack

As described above, some pads feature multiple Trigger Input Sources, each of which can generate its own trigger signal. Depending on the jack to which the pad is connected, however, some trigger signals cannot be transmitted to the DTX- TREME III. To avoid trigger signal drop outs, refer to the list below when connecting pads to the jacks on the rear panel of the DTXTREME III.
