- Page 55 Situation 4 – Recording: All instruments individually You connect the Hybrid Pro XT to an external mixing console and want to provide the sound engineer with as many individual channels as possible. To do this, you convert the headphone jack into the individual outputs 7+8 using a Y-split cable (1x stereo jack to 2x mono jack).
- Page 56 english Perc: Choose only Bus 8 HiHat: Choose only Bus 7 Assigned to OUT1·2 ist the gruop BUS 1+2. The headphone jack (“PHONS”) is assigned to the group BUS 7+8. The setting under SUB no longer plays a role in this constellation, as the SUB signal is not present at any output socket.
- Page 57 english Kick on Bus 3 Snare on Bus 4 HiHat only on Bus 5 Toms only on Bus 6 Cymbals (Cymbs) stereo on Bus 7+8 On the OUT page, the SUB mix is assigned to the output jacks OUT1•2, and the group BUS 7+8 is assigned to the headphone jack.
- Page 58 english Situation 6 – Live 3: Variation of Situation 5 There is another, slightly more sophisticated way to use the PERC group for loops, for example, without having to output the cymbals in mono. In this application situation, the song signal and the PERC group share the OUT1•2 sockets.

In the meantime, numerous add-on packages with additional sounds and samples have been released, which are already included in the Fame Hybrid Pro XT from the factory. These are authentic and modern cymbal and drum sounds, commissioned by us in a professional recording studio. Renowned microphones, preamps, and converters were used to ensure a high-quality sound experience. - Page 63 Your creativity knows no bounds. Included in the delivery of the Hybrid Pro XT are exclusive new sounds originating from an elaborate sampling session of a Yamaha Recording Custom Drum at the Scheren-Museum in Solingen.
