NOTE
• If you want to replace some of the pads from your drum set, or if
you need to solve any crosstalk problems, the operation "Trigger
Setup Edit" on page 34 describes how to make a detailed setting
for each pad after the above setting is done. If you have created a
setup for these reasons, that setup can be saved to one of the Trig-
ger Setup locations (8-11).

● About Connecting Pads
• The DTX500'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. 36).
• Pad-controller-equipped pads like the XP100SD, TP100,
etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jack 1SNARE.
• Three-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY155/150S, PCY135/
130SC, 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/ 0, 3TOM2/ !, 4TOM3/ @ 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
stereo 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 KP125W/125/65 kick pad is connected to the
DTX500's input jack 9 with a stereo cable, the external pad
input jack on the KP125W/125/65 can be used as the input
for Input jack 9.
• In addition to the 8KICK/ 9 jack, the 2TOM1/ 0,
3TOM2/ !, and 4 TOM3/ @ jacks can be used to con-
nect a second bass drum pedal to create a double-bass drum
set.
