onates with the Kick or Tom sound. 
From this display, you can set the parameters related to the 
Pad Song for each Trigger Input Source. The Pad Song 
function lets you play a Song by hitting the pad instead of 
pressing the [>/■] button. One Song is assigned to one 
Trigger Input Source and up to four Pad Songs can be set.
1
SOURCE (Trigger Input Source)
Determines the Trigger Input Source to which you want to 
assign the Pad Song. You can change the Trigger Input Source 
by hitting the corresponding pad when Input Lock is turned 
off. 
BPad Song
Determines whether or not the Pad Song is assigned to the 
selected Trigger Input Source. When set to on, the Trigger 
Input Source can be used to start playback of the Song speci-
fied below. When set to off, the rest of the parameters below 
cannot be set. 
CSong No (Song number)
Determines the Song number when the Pad Song is set to on. 
You can start playback of the Song specified here by hitting 
the pad corresponding to the Trigger Input Source. When the 
Pad Song is set to off, this parameter cannot be set. 
DRepeat
Determines whether or not the song plays back repeatedly. 
When set to on, the Song (started by hitting the pad) will play 
back repeatedly. When set to off, the Song playback will stop 
automatically when it reaches the end. 
EMode
Determines how the Song playback responds to your pad hit-
ting. When “play” is selected, hitting the pad starts or stops 
the specified Song. When “chase” is selected, hitting the pad 
plays only one measure of the specified Song. When “cutoff” 
is selected, hitting the pad stops any Songs started by hitting 
other pads (for which the Mode parameter is set to “cutoff”) 
then starts the specified Song. Hitting the pad again stops the 
specified Song. Keep in mind that only a single Song can play 
back from all the Pad Songs for which the Mode parameter is 
set to “cutoff.”

NOTE
•The Pad Song plays back according to the tempo specified in the 
Song mode or Click mode. The DTXTREME III has only the single 
tempo value. 
•Keep in mind that hitting the pad softly may not start the Pad Song. 
Make sure to hit the pad more strongly than a specified level. 
•If both the Pad Function (which can be set in the display called up via 
the [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF2] PADFUNC) and Pad Song are 
assigned to the Trigger Input Source, the Pad Song setting is can-
celed. 
•Depending on the selected Pad Songs and normal Song, an unex-
pected sound may be produced. This is because each Song may be 
transmitting different setups to the internal tone generator via the 
same MIDI channel. If you plan on using two or more Songs together, 
you should make sure that the MIDI channels used for the Songs are 
all set to different values.

94DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual
From this display, you can set the parameters which deter-
mine how the DTXTREME III responds to the Trigger Sig-
nal for each Trigger Input Source. This display consists of 
two pages.
1
SOURCE (Trigger Input Source)
Determines the Trigger Input Source to be edited. You can 
change the Trigger Input Source by hitting the corresponding 
pad when Input Lock is turned off. 
BTrigLink (Trigger Link)
When any other value than “off” is selected here, different 
Trigger Input Sources (on the same pad) can generate the 
Trigger Signals simultaneously by simply hitting a certain 
Trigger Input Source. Keep in mind that the available values 
(Trigger Input Source) differ depending on the Trigger Input 
Source specified at 1.
CTrigVelocity (Trigger Velocity)
Determines the value of velocity generated by hitting the pad 
corresponding to the SOURCE specified at 1. When “vari-
able” is selected, the velocity value is determined by your hit-
ting strength. When a value between “1” – “127” is selected, 
the corresponding value is used as the velocity regardless of 
your hitting strength. 
DPAGE >
This appears when another page can be called up from the 
current page. Use the Cursor [M] or [N] button to call up 
another page. 
E[SF6] Input Lock
You can turn Input Lock on or off by pressing this button. 
When Input Lock is turned on (the [L] indicator appears at the 
top right of the display), the Trigger Input jack 1 cannot be 
changed even if you hit any pad. This function is useful when 
you want to adjust the parameters of the current pad (con-
nected to the current Trigger Input jack) while hitting other 
pads.
FTrigAltGroup (Trigger Alternate Group)
Determines the Alternate Group to which the Trigger Input 
Source is assigned. If multiple Trigger Input Source are 
grouped with the same number assigned, only one input from 
that group is enabled at a time. When a Trigger Input Source 
is enabled from a trigger alternate group, other Trigger Input 
Source from the same group respectively generate a MIDI 
note off event for the corresponding MIDI note number. The 
RcvKeyOff parameter for the drum Voice (10 ch) should be 
set to “on” in the display called up via the [DRUM KIT] → 
[F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. 
Up to 32 Alternate Groups can be defined. You can also select 
“off” here if you wish to allow the simultaneous playback of 
sounds. 
GTrigMono/Poly (Trigger Mono/Poly)
Determines whether the current Trigger Input Source is 
played back monophonically or polyphonically. If “mono” is 
selected, triggering the same Voice continuously will stop the 
previous sound, then start the same Voice sound. Note that the 
previous sound is stopped by a note off message, unlike the 
Mono/Poly parameter in the display called up via the [DRUM 
KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. Accordingly, the 
RcvKeyOff parameter for the Voice (current Trigger Input 
Source) should be set to “on” in the display called up via the 
[DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. If “Poly” is 
selected, there is no such limitation.
HMask Time
Determines the amount of time within which the DTX-
TREME III does not accept the Trigger Signal from the cur-
rent Trigger Input Source after you hit the corresponding pad. 
When this parameter is set to “2.0s” for example, the DTX-
TREME III ignores the Trigger Signal for two seconds after 
you hit the corresponding pad. 
IHold Mode
This parameter is normally set to “off,” so that that hitting the 
same pad (current Trigger Input Source) only triggers (starts) 
the corresponding Voice sound. On the other hand, when set 
to “on,” hitting the same pad alternately both triggers and 
stops the corresponding Voice sound. Because note off mes-
sages are used for stopping the Voice sound, you need to set 
the RcvKeyOff parameter to on in the display called up via 
[DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER.
