Creating A Drum Kit - Yamaha DTXTREME III Owner's Manual

Quick Guide

Creating a Drum Kit

The DTXTREME III lets you create your own original Drum Kit by assigning your favorite Drum Voice to each pad and
setting its tuning, pan, decay, reverb, etc.
<Terminology>
● Drum Voice
A Drum Voice is an percussion/drum instrument assigned to each pad. Assigning Drum Voices to pads makes up a
Drum Kit.
● Drum Kit
A Drum Kit is a collection of Drum Voices assigned to the individual pads. Selecting a Drum Kit assigns the Drum
Voice(s) to each pad.
● Voice Set
When you connect a stereo pad (referred to as a "two-zone pad" and "three-zone pad") to the Trigger Input jack (pages
12 and 60), a different Drum Voice is triggered by the pad depending on the section you hit. A set of Voices that can be
triggered from a single pad is referred to as a "Voice Set." You can assign a Voice Set to each pad (Trigger Input jacks).
Here, select a Voice Set for each of pads (Trigger Input jacks) to create your original Drum Kit.
