To prevent electric shock and damage to the devices, make sure the power is switched OFF on
the DTXPRESS II and all related devices before making any connections to the DTXPRESS II’s
input and output jacks.
Setting Up
■ Connecting the pads
Referring to the illustration shown below, connect the output cable from each pad to each Trigger Input Jack located on the rear panel of the
DTXPRESS II.
The Trigger Input Jacks are all labeled (1 KICK, etc.) so make sure you connect each pad to its corresponding Trigger Input Jack.
• Trigger Input Jacks are all stereo input type jacks.
Pads equipped with trigger switches like the TP65S, PCY65S, etc.
can be connected to these jacks.
• It is possible to connect 3-zone type pads like the TP65S to Trigger
Input Jacks 2 SNARE, 6 RIDE, and 7 CRASH.
• When a pad corresponding to the labeled input jack (1 KICK, etc.)
is connected, the DTXPRESS II will automatically assign settings
suitable for the pads. However, when pads and drum triggers that
possess different characteristics are connected, it will be necessary
to assign suitable settings for parameters such as sensitivity, etc.
• Sensitivity is set in the Trigger Setup Edit mode’s [1-1. Pad Type]
(Reference Guide : P. 12).
• The input sensitivity switches (INPUT ATTENUATION) are sensi-
tivity switches that correspond to Trigger Input Jacks 1 KICK-6 RIDE.
The switch’s L position corresponds to a low sensitivity for pads
like TP, KP, PCY, BP, etc. The H position corresponds to a high
sensitivity proper for use with the DT20 Drum Trigger, etc.
• It is possible to connect the TP65, TP65S, PCY65S, etc. pads to the
1 KICK jack. You can also use the Hi-Hat Controller HH series as a
kick pedal (Use [1-1. Pad Type] (Reference Guide : P. 12) to assign
settings.).
• In addition to the 1 KICK jack, the 9/10 jack can be used to connect
a second bass drum pedal to create a double-bass drum set.
• The 9/10 jacks correspond to a 2-trigger input that uses a stereo jack
for L (9) and R (10). We recommend the use of these jacks when
connecting the Yamaha Bar Pad (BP-80).
You can use an conversion cable plug (stereo plug m monaural plug
x2) to input two separate trigger signals.
