About the Trigger Input Sources
Sets the voice for each input source of the pad.
The Input Source is trigger data that is transmitted by the
pads or trigger sensors connected to input jacks 1 to 9 of the
DTXPLORER.
When monaural pads TP60/65/80, KP60/65/80, PCY60/65/
80/130, DT10/20, etc. are used, one Input Source will be as-
signed to one input jack.
When stereo pads TP65S/80S, PCY65S/80S/130S, etc. are
used, two Input Sources (pad input and rim switch input or 2
kinds of pad input, etc.) will be assigned to one input jack.
When a 3-zone pad such as the TP65S/PCY150S, etc., is used,
three Input Sources (pad input and two rim switches, etc.)
will be assigned to one input jack.
To select the pad (Trigger Input Source), simply hit the target
pad, or press the [SHIFT] + [<]/[>] buttons.
