Transmits key on/off, program change, note number, etc. MIDI data to a computer or an external MIDI device. Audio Signal Output ● Pad Data Signal Flow In order for the DTXPRESS to effectively manage trigger signals transmitted from the pads connected to the Trigger Input Jacks (1 KICK, 2 SNARE, ... 9/10) and the HI HAT CONTROL jack, trigger signals are adjusted to a suitable signal in the Trigger Setup Buffer using the Trigger Setup. Signals transmitted from the Trigger Setup Buffer will enter the Drum Kit Buffer. In the Drum Kit Buffer, the Drum Kit is set as to what voices will be used and how voices will be delivered for each of the Trigger Input Sources. The Tone Generator's Voices will be produced according to these settings and its audio signal will be transmitted to the OUTPUT jacks and PHONES jack. ● Trigger Setup Data This mode is used for adjusting the trigger input, from pads and trigger sensors connected to the Trigger Input Jacks, to a suitable signal the sensitivity and velocity curve settings. (The signals characteristics will change according to the strength of the hit.) Also, cross-talk and double-trigger can be effectively eliminated with the settings available here. Along with 7 preset trigger setups (No. 1-7), there are another 4 user trigger setups (No. 8-11) available for storing original setups. After selecting a trigger setup for use, the data will be copied to the Trigger Setup Data Buffer where the copied data will be used in performance. (Refer to the illustration above.) Setup data can be freely changed in the Trigger Setup Edit mode and saved, if necessary, to the User Trigger Setup's memory (No. 8-11). ● Drum Kit Data This mode is used for setting drum kit voices, for example, assign a voice to each pad (trigger input source) used in the drum kit and perform settings such as selecting the voice, tuning, reverb level, etc. The DTXPRESS has 48 preset (No. 1-48) drum kits and another 32 user (No. 49-80) drum kits that are used for saving original drum kits created by the user. As in the Trigger Setup, the selected drum kit's data will be copied to the Drum Kit Data Buffer where the copied data will be used in performance. (Refer to the illustration above.) This Drum Kit data can be freely changed in the Drum Kit Voice Edit mode and saved, if necessary, to the User Drum Kit's memory (No. 49-80). 4
