Reference Basic Structure of the DTX900 Tone Generator Block (Drum Kits and Drum Voices) The tone generator block is the section of the DTX900 which plays the Drum Voice assigned to the Trigger Input Source which transmits the trigger signal. Assigning each of Drum Voices to each of the Trigger Input Sources makes up a Drum Kit. A total of 50 Preset Drum Kits are provided in the DTX900. Drum Kits can be edited or created as desired and then stored to up to 50 User Drum Kit locations in internal memory, or stored to a maximum 1584 External Drum Kits (16 Banks x 99 kits = 1584 kits) in an external USB storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE connector. The DTX900 is a comprehensive sound source in it own right just with the built-in Preset Drum Kits; however, you get even more out of the instrument by understanding the internal structure and creating your own original Drum Kits. ■ Drum Voices assigned to each of the Trigger Input Sources You can create your own original Drum Kit by assigning the desired Drum Voice to each of the Trigger Input Sources coming from the pad. For instructions, see page 61. Assigning a Drum Voice to each of the Trigger Input Sources A: Assigning a Drum Voice to Trigger Input Source A. B: Assigning a Drum Voice to Trigger Input Source B. C: Assigning a Drum Voice to Trigger Input Source C. ■ Convenient Voice Set assignment for each Trigger Input jack Assign Drum Voices to each of the Trigger Input Sources may be time-consuming and even tedious, difficult work. This is why the DTX900 provides the Voice Set parameter. Simply by selecting a value of the Voice Set parameter, you can assign the Drum Voices to all the Trigger Input Sources corresponding to the respective Trigger Input jacks. For instructions, see page 79. Assigning a Voice Set to each of the Trigger Input jacks Assigning a Drum Voice to each of three Trigger Input Sources by assigning the Voice Set to the Trigger Input jack. 62 DTX900 Owner's Manual
