Play Section - Yamaha DTXTREME IIs Owner's Manual

P l a y S e c t i o n
The DTXTREME IIs conveniently always enters the Play mode when it is turned on. The Play mode is where you
can start working and playing with the DTXTREME IIs — simply select a drum kit and song to play (or edit in
other modes). Other features related to performance are also accessible in Play mode.
You can play any drum kit chosen from 90 Preset kits (P1 to P90) and 40 User kits (U1 to U40) that you can create
and store in the DTXTREME IIs memory. You can also select a main song from a variety of Preset songs (song
numbers starting with P, Q and R) and 32 User songs that can be recorded into the DTXTREME IIs memory
(page 60). By using an optional memory card to store your User kits (C1 to C99), you can have a virtually
unlimited number of drum kits at your disposal.
Use any combination of a drum kit and a song for rehearsals, jam sessions, etc. You can even create a complex
drum solo by controlling playback of up to four songs using the pads (see Pad song, page 25).
