Building Your Own Kit; Selecting Sounds (Instruments) - Yamaha DTX700 Owner's Manual

Basic Operation

Building Your Own Kit

With the DTX700, you can assign a different sound to each of
the connected pads. And once you have assembled all of the
sounds you wish to use, you can store them together. The fol-
lowing describes how to perform these operations.
