Basic Techniques

Building Your Own Unique Kits

It's easy to build your own unique drum kits with the DTX502—simply change the drum sounds
assigned to the individual pads on pages KIT2 to KIT6 as described below.
NOTE
The KIT1 page is used only for selecting different kits.
Tip
Voices, instruments, and kits
Pads such as the snare, hi-hat, and cymbals (pages 16 to 18) have
been designed to trigger different voices (or sounds) depending on
the zone of the pad that is struck (see Input Sources on page 29). In
terms of the DTX502, an "instrument" is a collection of the voices
assigned to the various zones of a specific pad. A kit comprises a full
set of instruments—one for each pad.
NOTICE
When any of a kit's parameters have been changed but not yet saved, an
asterisk (*) will appear beside the page name at the top-left of the screen. The
asterisk will disappear when you save your settings. (See page 25.)
If you select another kit without saving your changes, they will be lost.
To edit a kit, you must first carry out the following two steps.
1.
Press the [KIT] button to access the Kit area.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to select the kit you wish to edit.
The changes that can be made on each of pages KIT2 to KIT6 are described below.
