Detaching A Drum Trigger Pickup; Connecting To Audio Equipment - Yamaha DTXTREME Owner's Manual

Detaching a Drum Trigger Pickup

You need to detach the trigger when replacing the drum head. Before removing the head,
unstick the sensor portion of the trigger carefully using a knife or similar object. Be careful
not to pull the cord.
Handling the Drum Trigger Pickups
• First remove dust or oily dirt from the batter head or drum shell (where you will
stick the sensor) using alcohol or a detergent, and then stick the sensor.
• Cover the sensor and cord with tape to avoid disconnection that may be caused by
drum vibrations.
• Double-triggering may occur if the drum head is tuned to produce a sustained
sound or irregular vibrations. If this is the case, change the tuning or mute the head
to avoid unnecessary vibrations. It is recommended to use the ring mute.
• When sticking the sensor back on, remove old remnants of tape completely and
then re-attach it using new tape. Such remnants may cause problems regarding
trigger sensitivity (no or bad triggering, double triggering, or so on).

Connecting to Audio Equipment

To output the DTXTREME sounds for recording or live performance, it should be connected
to an external audio device such as mixer or recorder. Simply connect the master output
jacks (OUTPUT L (MONO) and R) on the DTXTREME rear panel to the audio equipment.
You can then play the DTXTREME sounds from speakers or record them to a recorder.
Since the DTXTREME not only has the master outputs, but also 6 individual outputs
(INDIV.OUT 1-6), you can separately control up to 8 parts when they are sent to an external
mixer using all these outputs.
