Trigger Setup
Normal setting
Wide dynamic range. This setting is designed for maximum expressive control, allow-
ing performance subtleties over a wide dynamic range. Excessive vibration however,
may result in crosstalk (sound being produced by other pads).
Controlled dynamic range delivers stable trigger detection. This setting is designed
for producing a smoother, more uniform sound with reduced volume fluctuations.

● About Connecting Pads
• The DTXPRESS IV's input jack parameters are preset with
settings suitable for pads when an appropriate Trigger Setup
is selected. If you intend to connect any other type of pad or
a drum trigger (Yamaha DT20, etc.) to the input jack, that
jack's parameters (sensitivity, etc.) should be changed to set-
tings that suit the particular pad. Pad sensitivity is set in the
Trigger Setup Select display's Page 3 [TRG3 Gain] setting
(p. 38).
• Pad-controller-equipped pads like the TP120SD, TP100,
etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jack 1SNARE.
• Three-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY150S, PCY130SC,
etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jacks 5RIDE and
6CRASH.
• 7HI HAT is a stereo input type jack. Pads equipped with
trigger switches like the TP65S, PCY65S, PCY130S, etc.
can be connected to this jack.
• The 2TOM1/10, 3TOM2/11, 4TOM3/12 jacks corre-
spond to a two-trigger input that uses a stereo jack for L and
R. A Y-shaped cable (stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be
used to input two trigger signals.
• The 8KICK/9 jack accepts a two-trigger input using a ste-
reo cable and jack for L and R signals. A Y-shaped cable
(stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be used to input two trig-
ger signals.
Also, if the KP65 kick pad is connected to the DTXPRESS
IV's input jack 9 with a stereo cable, the external pad input
jack on the KP65 can be used as the input for Input jack 9.
• In addition to the 8KICK/9 jack, the 2TOM1/10,
3TOM2/11, and 4 TOM3/12 jacks can be used to connect
a second bass drum pedal to create a double-bass drum set.
