Additional Package Contents ● Power adaptor ● Owner's Manual (this document) ● Data List booklet ● DVD-ROM (containing software) Features of the DTX-MULTI 12 12 built-in pads and versatile input connectors The DTX-MULTI 12 features 12 built-in pads that have been conveniently arranged for ease-of-use in a wide variety of performance situations. On the rear panel, furthermore, you will find input connectors for five additional Yamaha electronic drum pads and drum triggers. By combining separately-sold pads and drum triggers with a central DTX-MULTI 12 unit, you can create your own compact electronic drum kit and also integrate acoustic drums. Furthermore, with a foot switch jack and a hihat controller jack also included, you can use foot switches and controllers to select drum kits, to simulate hi-hat playing techniques, and to enhance your performances in a wide range of other ways. High-quality sound In addition to a broad spectrum of voices from the top-of-theline DTXTREME III Drum Trigger Module, the DTX-MULTI 12 also features many newly-sampled percussion sounds and versatile, ready-to-use effect sounds for a grand total of 1,277 voices. What's more, this rich variety of sounds also includes timpani, marimba, vibraphone, and many other chromatic percussion instruments. Together with great-sounding Reverb and Chorus effects that can be applied to entire drum kits, the DTXMULTI 12 also features a Variation effect unit that can be used to enhance individual voices in many exciting ways. Wide selection of patterns The DTX-MULTI 12 comes complete with 128 ready-to-use melodic and rhythmic phrases (including 3 demos) known as patterns. You can easily start and stop patterns by simply striking pads to which they are assigned, greatly adding to the expressiveness of your performances. In addition, you can also record your own performances as patterns and assign them to pads in order to conveniently add original grooves to your drum kits. Powerful USB expandability Using the USB TO HOST port and a USB cable (sold separately), the DTX-MULTI 12 can be conveniently connected to a computer. This affords you a much greater level of efficiency and speed when recording performances and carrying out many other music-production processes using computer-based DAW (digital audio workstation) software such as Cubase AI, which is bundled with your DTX-MULTI 12. A USB TO DEVICE port allows USB memory devices to be plugged in for flexible data exchange. This allows you to store your DTX-MULTI 12 settings on such a device as standard computer files; furthermore, you can also import WAV or AIFF audio files from a USB memory device and assign them to individual pads, thus adding a unique, highly personal flavor to your performances. Versatile triggering for enhanced musical possibilities With the Stack function, each pad can produce up to four different sounds; meanwhile, the Alternate function triggers different sounds each time a pad is struck. In addition, you can setup the instrument to automatically select different sounds based on how hard or soft you strike the corresponding pad or in response to foot-switch operation. The DTX-MULTI 12 can also be setup to allow sounds to be silenced when a hand is pressed down on the pad and to allow different sounds to be produced when a hand is pressed down on a pad as it is struck. And you are not restricted to drumsticks alone! The DTX-MULTI 12 can be easily setup to support a rich variety of hand playing styles. 6 Owner's Manual
