No effects are applied.
●Check the Effect Bypass settings (page 89) in the dis-
plays called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F4] EFFECT. If 
Bypass is turned on, the corresponding Effect is not 
applied to the sound. 
●Check the Switch parameter (page 128) in the display 
called up via [UTILITY] → [F3] EFFECT → [SF2] MEF. If 
this parameter is set to “off,” the Master Effect is not 
applied to the sound. 
●Check the Reverb Send, Chorus Send and Variation 
Send parameters (page 80) in the display called up via 
[DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF2] OUT-TUNE. If these 
parameters are set to minimum values close to 0, it may 
sound as if no Effect is being applied to the sound. 
●Check the Reverb Send and Chorus Send parameters 
(page 95) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F6] 
OTHER → [SF1] COMMON. If these parameters are set 
to minimum values close to 0, it may sound as if no Effect 
is being applied to the sound. 
A Song cannot be started even when pressing the 
[>> > >
/■] button.
●Does the selected Song actually contain data?
●Check the MIDI Sync parameter (page 131) in the dis-
play called up via [UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF2] SYNC. 
If this parameter is set to “MIDI,” the Song of the DTX-
TREME III will play back only upon reception of external 
MIDI clock coming from the external MIDI sequencer or 
computer. In other words, the Song cannot play back 
even if you press the [>> > >
/■] button. 
Connected microphone does not work properly. 
●Check the Mic/Line parameter (page 128) in the display 
called up via the [UTILITY] → [F4] AUX IN → [SF1] OUT-
PUT. This parameter should be set to “mic” when using 
the microphone. 
●Check whether the GAIN Knob (page 12) on the rear 
panel is set to minimum position or not. 
Cannot record audio signals in the Sampling 
mode. 
●If you cannot enter the Sampling mode even though 
you’ve pressed the [SAMPLING] button, check whether 
DIMMs have been installed or not. In order to enter the 
Sampling mode, DIMM modules must be installed. (page 
147)
●Is there enough Sample Memory available? (page 136)
●Is the Sampling Source setting appropriate? (page 136)
●Is the Trigger Mode set appropriately? (page 137)
Computer/MIDI instrument problems.
●Check the MIDI IN/OUT parameter (page 131) in the dis-
play called up via [UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF3] 
OTHER. If you are connecting a computer to the DTX-
TREME III via USB, this parameter should be set to 
“USB”; if you are connecting a MIDI device to the DTX-
TREME III via MIDI, this parameter should be set to 
“MIDI.” 
Cannot save data to the external USB storage 
device.
●Has the USB storage device you’re using been properly 
formatted? (page 123)
●Is the USB storage device being used write protected? 
(Write-protect should be set to off for saving data.) (page 
21)
●Is there enough empty memory space in USB memory? 
To check the amount of free capacity in USB memory, 
press the [SF6] button in the File mode. 
The Trigger Signal from the acoustic drum is not 
stable. 
●Check whether or not the Drum Trigger (Yamaha DT20, 
etc.) is attached to the acoustic drum with adhesive 
tape. 
●Check all the items of “No sound or the sound volume is 
lower than expected” above. 
●Is the cable securely connected to the Drum Trigger 
(Yamaha DT20, etc.) jack?
Double triggering problem.
●If the connected pads have an output or velocity control 
volume, adjust them. It may be a good idea to lower 
them. 
●Check the Gain parameter (page 109) in the display 
called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. It may be a good 
idea to lower the value of this parameter. 
●When using acoustic drums, are you using Drum Trig-
gers (trigger sensors) made by manufacturers other than 
Yamaha? To ensure optimum operation, use only Yamaha 
Drum Triggers. 
●When using acoustic drums, check whether or not the 
head of the drum is generating irregular vibration. If so, it 
may be necessary to mute the head. 
●When using acoustic drums, make sure the Drum Trigger 
is attached near the rim (above the bearing) and not near 
the center of the head. 
●When using acoustic drums, make sure that nothing is 
touching the Drum Trigger. 
●Try increasing the value of the Reject Time parameter 
(page 110) to avoid double triggering. Note that the 
sound of a roll or flam cannot be properly produced if 
this parameter value is too high. 
Crosstalk problem (unexpected sound is pro-
duced by other pads)
●When using acoustic drums, place the Drum Trigger 
away from any nearby drum. 
●Try adjusting the Reject Level parameter (page 110) in 
the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F4] REJECT. 
●If the pads have a level adjustment knob, adjust them. 
●Try adjusting the minimum level parameter (page 110) in 
the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS.

Sound is missing when performing a roll or flam 
on the pad. 
●Check the Reject Level parameter (page 110) in the dis-
play called up via [TRIGGER] → [F4] REJECT. It may be 
a good idea to lower the value of this parameter. 
●Check the Mask Time parameter (page 94) in the display 
called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF4] TRIG-
GER. It may be a good idea to lower the value of this 
parameter. 
Sound is cut off. 
●Check the Mono/Poly parameter (page 84) in the display 
called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] 
OTHER. Set this parameter to “poly.” 
●Check the note settings in the Stack/Alternate display of 
the Drum Kit mode. If unnecessary notes are set, delete 
them. 
Only one sound is produced even when two pads 
(drums) are hit. 
●Try raising the value of the Gain parameter (page 109) 
for the pad (Trigger Input) that is not producing sound in 
the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. 
●Try lowering the value of the Reject Level parameter 
(page 110) for the pad (Trigger Input) that is not produc-
ing sound. 
●Check the Alternate Group parameter (page 84) for both 
of the pads in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → 
[F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. If both of the pads are 
assigned to the same Alternate Group, change the set-
ting of either pad to a different value. 
The sound volume is louder than expected. 
●Check the Gain parameter (page 109) in the display 
called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. Try lowering the 
value of this parameter. 
●Check the velocity curve settings (page 110) in the dis-
play called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. Set the 
appropriate velocity curve. 
●Check the Trigger Velocity parameter (page 94) in the 
display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF4] 
TRIGGER. If this parameter is set to “127,” for example, 
the maximum volume sound is produced regardless of 
how soft your pad hitting may be. Change the value of 
this parameter to the appropriate one. 
●Are you using a pad made by a manufacturer other than 
Yamaha? Depending on the manufacturer, output levels 
might be too large. 
The sound does not stop.
●Press the [EXIT] button to stop the sound. The sound 
may continue when the Receive Key Off parameter is set 
to “off” in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] 
VOICE → [SF4] OTHER.
The Pad Controller does not work as expected. 
●Check the Pad Controller Type parameter (page 92) in 
the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → 
[SF1] PAD CTRL. If this parameter is set to “off,” the Pad 
Controller installed to the connected pad does not work. 
Select the appropriate value. 
●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display 
called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If this parameter 
is not set to “TP120SD/100” (equipped with the Pad Con-
troller), the Pad Controller does not work. 
●Check whether or not the rim section is pressed. If so, 
the Pad Controller does not work. 
The Closed Hi-Hat sound is not produced even if 
you press the Hi-Hat Controller by foot. 
●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display 
called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If the RHH135 or 
RHH130 is connected to the HI-HAT CONTROL jack as 
well as the HI-HAT jack, the Pad Type parameter with the 
INPUT set to “hihat” should be set to “RHH135” or 
“RHH130.” 
No sound results even if you hit the edge or cup 
section of the cymbal pad. The choke functions 
do not work. 
●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display 
called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If this parameter 
is set to an improper value (such as the model name of a 
snare or tom pad) and the INPUT parameter at left is set 
to ride (to which the ride cymbal pad is connected), 
select the appropriate value (model name of the ride 
cymbal). 
Hi-hat Splashes are not produced.
●Is the foot controller connected to the HI-HAT CONTROL 
jack?
●Check the Foot Splash Sensitivity parameter (page 126) 
in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → 
[SF1] HI HAT. If this parameter is set to “off,” the hi-hat 
splash sound will not be produced. 
Sound is maintained even if the [>> > >
/■] button is 
pressed during Song playback.
●Check whether or not hitting the pad to which the Pad 
Song is assigned is recorded to the Song. If so and the 
Mode parameter is set to “play” or “cutoff” on the display 
called up via the [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF3] PAD-
SONG, only the Pad Song playback cannot be stopped 
depending on the timing you press the [>> > >
/■] button dur-
ing playback. If you cannot find the pad, you can stop 
the sound by changing the Drum Kit in the Drum Kit 
mode.
