1. Switch the power ON

After confirming that all devices, pads, external devices, etc.,
are properly connected, press the POWER switch located on
the rear panel to switch the power ON.

After purchasing the DTXPLORER, the following message
will appear in the display the first time you switch the power
on.

After hitting a pad several times, switch the power off and then
on again, and the total number times the pads have been hit is
shown in the display (Hit Counter Function).

* The Hit Counter is reset to “0” after carrying out the factory

set. (P. 23)

When the Drum Kit Select display (shown below) appears, the
DTXPLORER is ready to be played.

* The most recently used drum kit is selected in the display.

* Press the [DRUM KIT] button if another display is shown.

2. Play the DTXPLORER

While hitting on the pads, rotate the volume knob on the rear

hit. Drum kit numbers 1 through 32 consist of 32 different types
