Quick Guide Producing Sounds with the Pads You can also adjust the sensitivity of the pads to allow them to be played by hand (see page 19). NOTE • Drum and other individual instrument sounds known collectively as preset voices and rhythmic or musical phrases known as patterns can be assigned to each of the pads. Whenever you strike a pad to which a pattern has been assigned, the pattern will either be played through just once (one-shot) or repeated (loop), and the corresponding lamp within the Pad Indicator will light up. If a pad playing a looped pattern is struck again, the pattern will stop playing and the lamp will go out. • If looping patterns are assigned to multiple pads and you loose track of which ones are actually being played, you can silence all sound output by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [EXIT] button. • If a pad is struck too lightly or very close to an edge or corner, the corresponding lamp in the Pad Indicator may not turn on. ■ Muting Muting is the action of placing a hand on a struck percussion instrument in order to silence it, and the DTX-MULTI 12 pads support this playing technique. In addition, when multiple sounds have been assigned to a pad, you can use also muting to switch between these sounds for more expressive performances. NOTE • For details on how to switch sounds by muting, see page 51. Selecting a Preset Kit The term "kit" is used to refer to a collection of sounds (i.e., preset voices, waves, and patterns) produced when you strike each of the pads, and the DTX-MULTI 12 comes complete with an impressive range of specially-prepared preset kits. Using the procedure outlined below, select various kits and enjoy some of the stunning sounds that your instrument can produce.

You can also adjust the sensitivity of the pads to allow them to be
played by hand (see page 19).
•
Drum and other individual instrument sounds known collectively as preset
voices and rhythmic or musical phrases known as patterns can be
assigned to each of the pads. Whenever you strike a pad to which a pat-
tern has been assigned, the pattern will either be played through just once
(one-shot) or repeated (loop), and the corresponding lamp within the Pad
Indicator will light up. If a pad playing a looped pattern is struck again, the
pattern will stop playing and the lamp will go out.
•
If looping patterns are assigned to multiple pads and you loose track of
which ones are actually being played, you can silence all sound output by
holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [EXIT] button.
•
If a pad is struck too lightly or very close to an edge or corner, the corre-
sponding lamp in the Pad Indicator may not turn on.
■
Muting
Muting is the action of placing a hand on a struck percussion
instrument in order to silence it, and the DTX-MULTI 12 pads
support this playing technique. In addition, when multiple
sounds have been assigned to a pad, you can use also muting to
switch between these sounds for more expressive performances.
•
For details on how to switch sounds by muting, see page 51.
Selecting a Preset Kit

set voices, waves, and patterns) produced when you strike each

impressive range of specially-prepared preset kits. Using the pro-
cedure outlined below, select various kits and enjoy some of the
stunning sounds that your instrument can produce.
