Troubleshooting Symptom Possible cause DTX-PRO Solution DTX-PROX Poor volume balance Poor volume balance between each of the pads Ensure that the sliders on the MIXER screen have been set appropriately. Ensure that the LED rotary faders have been set appropriately. Poor volume balance between the external audio device and the PRO series module • Individually adjust the output volumes of the PRO series module and the external audio devices. • Adjust settings in MENU/Utility/Input Output/AUX In Gain. Adjust the volume with the [AUDIO VOLUME] knob. Adjust the volume with the [AUDIO] slider. Poor EQ balance Poor EQ balance Adjust the Phones EQ and the Master EQ. Pads with position sensing do not produce sounds properly • Ensure that the Pad Type parameter has been set correctly. • Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. When this is not set properly, the cymbal pad may not be fully functional. • Make sure to connect the pad to the proper jack that supports position sensing. Headphone volume is too low Kick volume is too low in headphones • Adjust the values in MENU/Utility/Output Gain. • Adjust the PhonesEQ. • Use high quality headphones. Use one headphone at a time. Using two at once may reduce the output level. Having difficulties during perfomance Cymbal/Hi-hat sounds are too soft The PRO series module produces sound but the sensitivity (i.e., volume) is too low. Orientation of the cymbal pad is incorrect Shaft on the Hi-hat pad is loose Extra felt is attached The pad type or trigger parameter setting is incorrect Slider is set to the minimum (DTX-PRO) LED rotary fader is set at the minimum level (DTX-PROX) The level settings for the pad are improper The cymbal edge switch has not been detected • Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. If this is set improperly, the cymbal pad may not be fully functional. • The shaft on the hi-hat stand may come loose during use and cause the hi-hat pad to rotate. If this happens, the pad may not function properly. To avoid the problem, we recommend that you tighten the shaft and check the position of the hi-hat pad on a regular basis. • Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower volume. • Ensure that the Pad Type and trigger parameters are set correctly. Is the pad type shown by the "Pad Type" parameter in MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type correct? (Select the proper pad type for the cymbal pad connected to the PRO series module.) • The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allow this to be adjusted. • Ensure that slider on the MIXER screen or the LED rotary fader for the pad for which a sound is not being produced is set high enough. • Ensure that the drumstick is parallel to the pad surface when striking the pad. The edge sensor switch on the cymbal pad may not react properly when the pad is struck completely from the side. Double triggers are being produced • Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. • If the pad or drum trigger in question features a controller for adjusting output or sensitivity, turn it down. • Ensure that the "Gain" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type is not set too high. Sound is produced without striking the pad Sound is produced by a pad that was not struck (Crosstalk is occurring) • Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. • Set the "Reject Lvl" parameter from the MENU/Trigger/Cross- talk or TRIGGER/SETTING/Crosstalk to an appropriate level. • If using a separately-sold pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure that the level has been set appropriately. • Ensure that the "Minimum Level" parameter from MENU/Trig- ger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type has been set appropriately.

DTX-PRO DTX-PROX Reference Manual
Poor volume balance
Poor volume balance
between each of the
pads
Ensure that the sliders on the
MIXER screen have been set
appropriately.
Ensure that the LED rotary fad-
ers have been set appropri-
ately.
Poor volume balance
between the external
audio device and the
PRO series module
• Individually adjust the output volumes of the PRO series module
and the external audio devices.
• Adjust settings in
MENU/Utility/Input Output/AUX In Gain
.
Adjust the volume with the
[AUDIO VOLUME] knob.
Adjust the volume with the
[AUDIO] slider.
Poor EQ balance
Poor EQ balance
Adjust the
Phones EQ
and the
Master EQ
.
Pads with position
sensing do not pro-
duce sounds properly
• Ensure that the
Pad Type
parameter has been set correctly.
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. When this is not set
properly, the cymbal pad may not be fully functional.
• Make sure to connect the pad to the proper jack that supports
position sensing.
Headphone volume is
too low
Kick volume is too low
in headphones
• Adjust the values in
MENU/Utility/Output Gain
.
• Adjust the
PhonesEQ
.
• Use high quality headphones.
Use one headphone at a time.
Using two at once may reduce
the output level.
Having difficulties
during perfo-
mance
Cymbal/Hi-hat sounds
are too soft
The PRO series mod-
ule produces sound but
the sensitivity (i.e., vol-
ume) is too low.
Orientation of the cym-
bal pad is incorrect
Shaft on the Hi-hat pad
is loose
Extra felt is attached
The pad type or trigger
parameter setting is
incorrect
Slider is set to the mini-
mum (DTX-PRO)
LED rotary fader is set
at the minimum level
(DTX-PROX)
The level settings for
the pad are improper
The cymbal edge
switch has not been
detected
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. If this is set improperly,
the cymbal pad may not be fully functional.
• The shaft on the hi-hat stand may come loose during use and
cause the hi-hat pad to rotate. If this happens, the pad may not
function properly. To avoid the problem, we recommend that you
tighten the shaft and check the position of the hi-hat pad on a
regular basis.
• Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower vol-
ume.
• Ensure that the
Pad Type
and trigger parameters are set cor-
rectly. Is the pad type shown by the “
Pad Type
” parameter in
MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or
TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type
cor-
rect? (Select the proper pad type for the cymbal pad connected
to the PRO series module.)
• The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allow this to be
adjusted.
• Ensure that slider on the MIXER screen or the LED rotary fader
for the pad for which a sound is not being produced is set high
enough.
• Ensure that the drumstick is parallel to the pad surface when
striking the pad. The edge sensor switch on the cymbal pad may
not react properly when the pad is struck completely from the
side.
Double triggers are
being produced
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• If the pad or drum trigger in question features a controller for
adjusting output or sensitivity, turn it down.
• Ensure that the “
Gain
” parameter from
MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or
TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type
is not set too high.
Sound is produced
without striking the pad
Sound is produced by a
pad that was not struck
(Crosstalk is occurring)
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• Set the “
Reject Lvl
” parameter from the
MENU/Trigger/Cross-
talk
or
TRIGGER/SETTING/Crosstalk
to an appropriate level.
• If using a separately-sold pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure
that the level has been set appropriately.
• Ensure that the “
Minimum Level
” parameter from
MENU/Trig-
ger/Pad Type
or
TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type
has been set
appropriately.
