Getting More Out of Your DTXPRESS

There is much more to the DTXPRESS than what we have covered so far.
With a full understanding of these functions you can get the most out of the DTXPRESS.

■ Factory Set

The internal settings of the DTXPRESS will be returned to their
factory preset condition.
m Utility Mode [1-6. Factory Set] (P. 53)
If the factory set operation is carried out, data for
the User Drum Kit, User Trigger Setups and User
Songs will be lost.
■ Functions related to connections and input
source (pads)
• Drum kits can be selected by hitting a pad. For example, with
an optional Yamaha Bar Pad BP80 connected to the trigger
input jack 9/10, you can hit the left bar pad to decrease the
value of the drum kit number by 1. Likewise, hitting the right
bar will increase the value of the drum kit number by 1.
