Chain Feature

A Chain is a series of drum kits and songs arranged in the
order you want. For example, you can arrange different drum
kits to be selected in a specific order — for example, to match
that of a set list in a live performance, or to use with a series of
practice songs arranged in order of difficulty.
The DTXTREME IIs can memorize up to 32 chains for
instant recall them whenever you want them.

Switching the Chain Display

When pressing the CHAIN button, the Chain Play display
appears first, allowing you to play existing chains. Pressing
the CHAIN button again calls up the Chain Edit display,
from which you can create a new chain or edit an existing
one. Every press of the CHAIN button toggles between these
two displays. When you finish using this feature, simply press
the EXIT/NO button to return to the default display.

Creating or Editing a Chain

The first step in using chains is to create one. You can also
freely edit an existing chain at any time. Once you create or
edit a chain, you'll need to store it BEFORE you start
working with another chain.
n Select a target chain in the Chain Play screen beforehand (page 32).
Chain Edit Screen
Here you can arrange drum kits or songs one by one to each
step in a chain. A chain can contain up to 32 steps, and you
can link a chain to another if you want a long chain that
exceeds 32 steps or a looped chain that repeats a specific series.
