Owner’s Manual
Producing Sounds with the Pads
In order that you can start having fun with your DTX-MULTI 12 as soon as possible, this section will begin by
explaining the basic way in which the pads can be played using drum sticks (sold separately), and following
that, will show how to select various kits (i.e., sets of pad sounds).
Pad Names
As shown below, numbers 1 through 12 are assigned to the built-
in pads. These numbers are also shown at the corresponding
positions within the Pad Indicator, and they will light up when
the associated pad is struck.
Striking the Pads
When playing Pads 4 to 9 (i.e., the main pads), aim to strike the
center of the pad with the tip of the drum stick.
Meanwhile, when playing Pads 1 to 3 and Pads 10 to 12 (i.e., the
rim pads), aim to strike the center of the pad with the shoulder of
the drum stick.
•
Do not place your fingers into the gaps between Pads 1 to 3 and
the instrument's plastic body. If this precaution is not observed,
your fingers may be injured as a result of crushing or squeezing.
