This mode contains various settings related to trigger
input from the pads and trigger sensors that are con-
nected to the DTXPRESS III.
It allows you to adjust pad sensitivity and assign drum
voices to each trigger input. Trigger Setup data consists
of seven preset types (No. 1-7) and four original setup
types (No. 8-11) for storing user setup data.
What you can do with the Trigger Setup Edit
Mode
The Trigger Setup Edit Mode lets you alter a variety of settings for
each of the trigger inputs jacks (1-10) of the Trigger Setup.
You can edit both preset (No. 1-7) and user Trigger Setups (No. 8-11).
The edited Trigger Setup can be stored in a User Trigger Setup
(No. 8-11) using the Store Operation.
* Selecting another Trigger Setup before storing your changes
will result in the data reverting to its default settings.
* Data cannot be stored to preset Trigger Setup (No. 1- 7).
 Entering the Trigger Setup Edit Mode
Hold the [SHIFT] button and press the [TRIG] button on the front
panel.
Once the Trigger Setup Edit Mode is entered, the INPUT
parameter’s main page (pad type), shown below, will be displayed.
5.Use the [VALUE–], [VALUE+] buttons to set the
parameter’s value or ON/OFF setting.
* Once a setting is changed, “*” will appear on the display next
to “TRIG”. After data is saved, the mark will disappear.

HH contrlerThe HH65/60 Hi-Hat-Controller can be connected
to Trigger Input 1 and used as a kick drum pedal.
*1 When the TP65S is connected to In-
put 2/6/7, its 3-zone function is avail-
able (pad x1, rim sound x2). If the pad
is connected to any other input, the
rim will produce only one sound.
For closed rim shots, sensitivity is set
high on TP1/SnrA rim 1 and TP1/
SnrB rim 2. Sensitivity settings for
right and left rims are identical on TP1/Tom.
*2 Rim1 and rim2 sounds on the TP1/SnrB are reversed from
those on TP1/SnrA. This provides left-handed drummers with
a proper setting when using a left-handed setting.
*3 When the TP80S is connected to Input 2/6/7, the voice as-
signed to rim 1 will be produced by TP2-A (Input 2:snrR1,
Input 6:rideE, Input 7:crashE), and the voiced assigned to
rim 2 will be produced by TP2-B (Input 2:snrR2, Input6: rideC,
Input 7:crashC). (
Refer to page 17.)
*4 To use an RHP series pad as a stereo pad, connect it to Input
9/10 and assign the pad voice to Input 9 and rim voice to Input
10. If the pad is connected to any other input, the rim sound will
not be produced.
*5
To use the BP80 as a stereo pad, connect the pad to Input 9/10.
1-2.  Gain, Minimum Velocity
This function sets the input sensitivity (Gain) and velocity range
(Minimum Velocity) for each input jack q.
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number. (The same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w GAIN (Input Gain)
[Range] 0-99
Adjusts the input gain level (minimum sensitivity) for the trigger
input jack assigned in step q TRIG IN.
Entering a larger value here allows smaller input levels to sound
the voice.
* This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad
type is set in [1-1. Pad Type]. Some fine-tuning of the value will
be necessary.
e MVel (Minimum Velocity)
[Range] 1-127
Sets the MIDI Velocity (volume) that is transmitted when the pad
is hit the weakest. Large values will produce a high volume level
even if the pad is hit softly. However, this will result in a narrow
volume range making it difficult to adequately produce wider dy-
namic levels.
Rim 1
Rim 2 
						

							13
If “HH contrler” is set for the pad type, the value set here will
be transmitted as the velocity.
The trigger input level will be displayed as a % in the upper right
hand corner of the display. The maximum velocity (input level
99%) will be 127. The level is low when the pad is hit the weakest
so a wider dynamic range will be possible.
* This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad
type is set in [1-1. Pad Type]. Some fine-tuning of the value will
be necessary.
1-5.  Specific Rejection
This function prevents cross talk from occurring between two speci-
fied input jacks q and e.
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number (the same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w VelCurve (Velocity Curve)
Sets the Input Velocity Curve for the trigger input jack assigned in
TRIG IN q.
1-4.  Self Rejection, Rejection
This function is used to prevent double triggers* and cross talk
(mixed input signals between the jacks) for each input jack q.
* double trigger: When 2 sounds are played at the same time.
q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number (the same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w SelfRej (Self Rejection)
[Range] 0-9
Prevents double triggers from occuring in the input jack assigned
in TRIG IN q. After an event is detected, further events will be
automatically muted for a certain length of time. Larger values set
longer times.q TRIG IN (Trigger Input Number)
Assigns the trigger input jack number (the same procedure as in
[1-1. Pad Type]).
w SPCRej (Specific Rejection)
[Range] 0-9
After an event occurs from the pad from the input jack assigned in
e, the pad of the input jack assigned in TRIG IN q will not
sound for a certain length of time unless the level is greater than
the value assigned here.
e frm (Assigned Destination Trigger Input Number)
[Range] 1-10, 6&7
Sets the destination trigger input jack number of the pad that will
be rejected. When “6&7” is selected, both trigger inputs 6 and 7
will be assigned.

When a low data value is received from the foot controller, the
voice will sound sooner. So, slightly pressing the foot controller
will result in the voice sounding. In the case of the hi-hat control-
ler, delicate adjustment of the controller’s  “closed” point is pos-
sible.
w T (Foot Splash Detect Time)
Sets the detect time for the foot splash. Large values make foot
splashes easier to produce.
* Values too large will result in splashes being produced under
normal hi-hat use.
2-2.  Increment / Decrement
This sets the pad function that allows the currently selected drum
kit number to be increased or decreased by 1 by hitting the speci-
fied pad.

1-4.  Layer Balance
When a drum voice is made up of 2 layers (a single voice consist-
ing of 2 voice waves), this function sets the volume balance be-
tween the 2 layers that are delivered by each layer w of the input
source q.
* When only a 1 layer voice is set, this setting will be ignored.
1-6.  Note Number
This function sets the MIDI note number for each layer w that is
transmitted when a signal is received from the input source q.

Sets the volume balance between 2 layers.
* When the drum voice has only 1 layer “---” will appear in the
display and settings cannot be carried out.
1-5.  Decay, Cutoff Frequency
This function sets the drum voice decay, the filter’s cutoff frequency
and adjusts the tone of each voice that is delivered by each layer
w of the input source q.
q IN (Input Source)
w Layer Number
Assigns the input source and layer for the setting. (Refer to P. 17)
e Decay
[Range] –64 to 0 to +63
Positive values will produce a clearer sound.
r Fc (Cutoff Frequency)
[Range]) –64 to 0 to +63
A positive value will produce a brighter sound, negative values
will produce a rounder sound.q IN (Input Source)
w Layer Number
Assigns the input source and layer for the setting. (Refer to P. 17)
e Note# (MIDI Note Number)
[Range] 0-127 (C-2 to G8)
Sets the MIDI note number. The note number and voice name will
be displayed.
* When the selected MIDI note number has already been assigned
to another input source, “*” will be displayed next to “Note#=”.
1-7.  Channel, Gate Time
This function sets the MIDI transmit channel and gate time (the
length of time from key on to key off) for the MIDI note on data of
each layer w  that is transmitted when a signal is received from
the input source q.

2.  Input Common Parameters
This sub-mode sets the common settings between 2 layers for voice
parameters of each pad’s input source.
The Input Common Parameters sub-group is divided into the fol-
lowing 8 pages.
2-1. Cross Fade ...................................................... 20
2-2. Reverb Send .................................................... 20
2-3. Alternate Group, Key Assign Mode ................. 20
2-4. Hold Mode ....................................................... 21
2-5. Key Off Enable ................................................ 21
2-6. Function ........................................................... 21
2-7. Pad Song ......................................................... 21
2-8. Rim to Pad ....................................................... 22
Select the Input Source for editing
In the Input Common Parameters edit display, first it is necessary
to select the input source q for editing. (Refer to page 16 on how
to select the input source.)
2-2.  Reverb Send
This function sets the reverb send level w for the voice (layer 1, 2)
delivered by the input source q.
*The actual reverb send level will be determined by multiplying the
level set here with the level set in [5-2. Drum Reverb Send] (P. 24).
Drum Kit Voice Edit Mode
However, the same as in Voice Parameters, “If the same MIDI
note number is set to more than one pad within the same drum kit,
the lowest numbered trigger input jack will take priority. Regard-
less of which pad is struck, the same voice (setting) will be deliv-
ered.” So, when the setting is invalid in edit displays [2-1. Cross
Fade] – [2-5. Key Off Enable], the following display will appear
and edits cannot be carried out.
2-1.  Cross Fade
This function sets the velocity (volume) cross fade between the 2
layer voices delivered by the input source q.
KIT IN=kick
X Fade=0 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
KIT IN=kick
(Note# in use )
q IN (Input Source)
Assigns the Input Source for setting. (Refer to the display shown
above.)
w j (Cross Fade Type)
[Range] 0-9
Selects the cross fade type (“1” to “9”). The conversion graph will
appear to the right of the type number.
If this parameter is set to “0”, the cross fade function will not be
valid.
KIT IN=kick
X Fade=1 ¥çœ¬æ…¥
q IN (Input Source)
Assigns the input source for the setting. (Refer to P. 17)
w Reverb send (Reverb Send Level)
[Range] 0-127
2-3.  Alternate Group, Key Assign Mode
This function sets the Alternate Group and Key Assign Mode for
the voice (layer 1, 2) delivered by the input source q.
Alternate Group: This is a group of voices assigned to the same
group number that should not be delivered at the same time.
For example, by assigning an open hi-hat with a closed hi-
hat to the same group number, the open hi-hat sound will be
canceled once the closed hi-hat sound is delivered.
Key Assign  Mode: This defines the sound output rules when mul-
tiple voices that are assigned to the same MIDI note number
are simultaneously delivered.
q IN (Input Source)
Assigns the input source for the setting. (Refer to P. 17)
w Alt (Alternate Group)
[Range] off, pdl, HH, 1-15
Voices that are assigned to the same MIDI note number that you
do not want to be delivered simultaneously.
For the voice (“footCl” or “splash”, etc.) that is played when the
hi-hat pedal is depressed, select “pdl”.
For the voice (“open”, openR”, “close”, closeR”, etc.) that is played
when the hi-hat pad is hit, select “HH”.
If this parameter is set to “off” there will be no truncation.
* Some alternate group voices like Hi-Hat, etc., are preset in the
voices.
e Key (Key Assign Mode)
This defines the sound output rules when multiple voices that are as-
signed to the same MIDI note number are simultaneously delivered.
poly:There are no limits to the number of voices delivered at once.
semi: Up to 2 voices for this note number can be produced at
one time. When a 3rd voice is triggered, one of the first 2
voices will be truncated.
