Troubleshooting Symptom Only one Inst is played when two pads are struck simultaneously Sounds are skipped during rolls and flams Cannot choke Cannot mute Foot closed hi-hat sounds cannot be played It is difficult to produce closed hi-hat sounds Hi-hat splash sounds are not produced as intended Pads with position sensing do not produce sounds properly Reliable trigger signals cannot be produced (when using a drum trigger attached to an acoustic drum) Possible cause Shaft on the Hi-hat pad is loose Extra felt is attached LED rotary fader is set at the minimum level (DTX-PROX) The level settings for the pad are improper Solution DTX-PRO DTX-PROX • Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. • From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/ Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound, and raise the value of its Gain parameter. • From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/ Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound, and lower the value of its MinLevel parameter. Reduce the "Reject Time" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. • Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. • Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. If the orientation of the pad is set improperly, the cymbal pad may not function fully. • Make sure that you are fully and firmly operating the hi-hat controller or the hi-hat pedal. • Lower the setting of the "FootClosePos" parameter in MENU/ Utility/Pad. • Is the pad type shown by the "Pad Type" parameter in MENU/ Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type correct? • Ensure that hi-hat pad or the hi-hat controller is correctly connected to the [CONTROL] jack of the PRO series module. • Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower volume. • 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. Adjust the "FootSplashSens" parameter from MENU/Utility/Pad. Hi-hat splash sounds will not be produced if "off" has been set here. • Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. • 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. • Select an Inst or a voice that is compatible with position sensing. For more information, refer to the Data List (PDF). • Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. • Ensure that the "Gain" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type is not set too high. • Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha drum triggers (trigger sensors) or pads. Products from other manufacturers can output excessively large signals, which in turn can result in double triggering. • Ensure that the heads are not vibrating in an irregular manner, and mute them if so required. • Ensure that drum triggers have been installed properly. • Increase the "Reject Time" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. Avoid setting too large a reject time, as this can make it impossible to accurately detect flams, rolls, and the like. • The longer the bass drum sound, the easier it is to cause double triggers. Adjust the drum so that it produces a shorter sound. Try muting/tuning the head/changing the head. DTX-PRO DTX-PROX Reference Manual 139
