When this parameter is set to on, the following MIDI events are transmitted via MIDI OUT. COutputSel (Output Select) Determines the output jack for the click sound. From this display, you can set the parameters related to the Measure Break function. By using this function, the Click Voice can be played back for specified measures and muted for specified measures repeatedly. This function can be effectively used to bring your rhythm technique and timing up to a higher level—letting you play a certain drum phrase for several measures while listening to the Click Voice, then play the next several measures with no Click sound. For example, to have four measures with the Click Voice followed by four measures without, set the Measure parameter to 4 and the Break parameter to 4. 1 Measure/Break Determines whether the Measure Break function is active or not. When set to on, the Click Voice is played back for mea- sures specified at 2 and muted for measures specified at 3 repeatedly.

Reference 108DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual ReferenceDrum Kit mode Song mode Click modeTrigger modeFile mode Utility mode Chain mode Sampling mode Trigger Mode[TRIGGER] This chapter explains the Trigger mode called up via the [TRIGGER] button. In the Trigger mode, you can set the parameters related to the Trigger Signals received from the pads or Drum Triggers (such as Yamaha DT20) which are connected to the Trigger Input jacks. These settings let you optimize the DTX- TREME III for best operation and response to the Trigger Signals. If you are using drum triggers attached to acoustic drums, or pads you’ve bought separately, you’ll need to adjust the sensitivity and assign Voices to the individual Trigger Input Sources. This mode also has settings that help prevent crosstalk* and double triggering*. *Crosstalk A triggering problem in which the vibration generated by hitting a certain pad may cause unwanted triggering in another (usually adjacent) pad. *Double triggering A triggering problem in which two or more Trigger Signals may be generated simply by hitting a certain pad once. Basic Procedure in the Trigger Mode 1Press the [TRIGGER] button to enter the TRIGGER mode. 2Note the tab menus (corresponding to the [F1] – [F5] and [SF1] – [SF2] buttons) to find the desired function, then press the relevant button to call up the desired dis- play. 3Move the cursor to each parameter, then set the value by using the data dial, or [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. 4After setting, press the [ENTER/STORE] button. The following display will appear. 5Select the destination Trigger setup num- ber by using the data dial. 6Press the [ENTER/STORE] button. The following display prompts you for confirmation before executing the store operation. 7Press the [INC/YES] button to execute the Store operation. NOTE •Creating an appropriate Trigger Setup is necessary to get optimum results and obtain the expected response and sound when you hit the pads. One good way to ensure this is to find an exisiting Trigger Setup close to your favorite one, then edit it. •Once you have found or created your favorite Trigger Setup, it is a good idea to assign the Trigger Setup number to the TriggerNo parameter in the display called up via the [UTILUITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF4] STARTUP. In this way, you can have your favor- ite Trigger Setup number automatically called up every time you turn the power on. •Refer to page 26 for details about the [SF6] Input Lock. NOTE •The Trigger Input jack, the level of the Trigger Signal and velocity are shown at the top of the display when one of the [F1] – [F4] displays is called up. Destination Trigger setup number •The edited Trigger Setup will be lost when selecting a different Trigger Setup or turning the power off. Make sure to store the Trig- ger Setup data to internal memory by pressing the [ENTER/ STORE] button before selecting a different Trigger Setup or turn- ing the power off. •Never attempt to turn off the power while the message “Please keep power on” is shown on the display; otherwise, all the settings in the Trigger mode may be lost.

Trigger Mode [TRIGGER] Reference DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual109 Drum Kit mode Reference Song mode Click mode Trigger mode File mode Utility mode Chain mode Sampling mode Selecting the Trigger Setup[F1] SELECT Explanations about this display is described in the Quick Guide section on page 26. Selecting the Pad Type[F2] TYPE From this display, you can set the type of pad or drum trigger connected to the Trigger Input jack. Make sure to select the appropriate type matching to the particular pad or drum trigger, in order to use it at its full potential. 1 INPUT (Trigger Input jack) Determines a target Trigger Input jack. You can select the Trigger Input jack by hitting the desired pad when Input Lock (page 79) is turned off (when the L indicator is not shown at the right top of the LCD display). BPad Type Determines the pad type for the Trigger Input jack specified at 1. The list below shows the pad types that can be set for the connected pads or drum triggers. Trigger Sensitivity Settings[F3] SENS From this display, you can set the sensitivity-related parameters, which determine how the DTXTREME III responds to the Trigger Signals received via the Trigger Input jacks. In other words, the parameters here determine how the level of the Trig- ger Signal (strength of your hits) is converted to the velocity recognized by the tone generator block. Keep in mind that the level and velocity generated by hitting a pad are shown at the top of the LCD display in real time. 1 INPUT (Trigger Input jack) Determines a target Trigger Input jack. You can select the Trigger Input jack by hitting the desired pad when Input Lock (page 79) is turned off (when the L indicator is not shown at the right top of the LCD display). BGain Determines the gain with which the DTXTREME III receives the Trigger Signal from the pad. The higher the value, the more easily you can get sound even when hitting the pad softly. NOTE •Keep in mind that each number in the display corresponds to the number of the Trigger Input jack printed at the top of the front panel. Above each number, the status of the Trigger Signal received from the pad is shown in real time.

Trigger Mode [TRIGGER] Reference 110DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual ReferenceDrum Kit mode Song mode Click modeTrigger modeFile mode Utility mode Chain mode Sampling mode CCurve Determines how the actual velocity will be generated and transmitted according to the level (strength) with which you hit the pad. The “loud2” curve, for example, provides increased response, especially for lower velocities. The “hard2” curve, for example, effectively lessens the overall response compared to the other curves. DLEVEL Determines the level range within which the velocity is changed. If the Trigger Signal is below the minimum level set here, no sound is produced. Even if the Trigger Signal exceeds the maximum level, the sound is produced with the maximum velocity and no greater. EVEL (Velocity) Determines the velocity range within which the Voice sound is produced. Setting the Rejection[F4] REJECT From this display, you can set the Rejection-related parameters, letting you prevent “false hits”—such as double triggering caused by stick rebounds, and crosstalk cause by pad vibration. The Trigger Signals regarded as “false hits” will be ignored by proper setting of the Rejection parameters. 1 INPUT (Trigger Input jack) Determines a target Trigger Input jack. You can select the Trigger Input jack by hitting the desired pad when Input Lock (page 79) is turned off (when the L indicator is not shown at the right top of the LCD display). BReject Time Determines the amount of time within which the current Trig- ger Input jack will not accept new Trigger Signals from the moment receiving the previous Trigger Signal. The setting here prevents unexpected sounds generated via double trig- gering. CReject Level From ALL Determines the minimum level of the Trigger Signals (gener- ated by hitting any other pads) which the current Trigger Input jack will accept. In other words, the current Trigger Input jack will not accept Trigger Signals (generated by hit- ting any other pads) having a level lower than that specified here. The higher the value, the less unexpected sounds are generated via crosstalk. DReject Level From *** Determines the specific Trigger Input jack and the minimum level of the Trigger Signals (generated by hitting the pad cor- responding to the Trigger Input jack specified here) which the current Trigger Input jack will accept. In other words, the cur- rent Trigger Input jack will not accept Trigger Signals (gener- ated by hitting the pad corresponding to the Trigger Input jack specified here) having a level lower than that specified here. The higher the value, the less unexpected sounds are gener- ated by crosstalk between the pad corresponding to the cur- rent Trigger Input jack and the pad corresponding to the Trigger Input jack specified here.
