Practicing in Training Mode Pad Gate In Pad Gate training, the pads will only produce a sound when your drumming precisely matches a practice drum pattern. At the end of training, the drum module will display your score using number buttons [1] to [10/0] and will also speak it to you. 2 4,5 1 3,6 1. Press the [TRAINING] button to activate Training Mode. 2. Press number button [8]. The [ ] button will flash, indicating that the drum module is on standby to start training. 3. Press the [ ] button when you are ready to go. • The drum module will start to play the practice drum pattern. • The number buttons ([1] to [10/0]) will light up to dis- play the progression of the practice drum pattern. 4. If necessary, select a different practice drum pattern using number buttons [1] to [10/0]. Drum scores for the various practice drum patterns can be found in the Data List section (page 62). 5. Play the practice drum pattern on the pads. • The pads will not produce a sound if they are struck out of time. • If you play any phrase other than the practice drum pattern, the pads will not produce a sound. • To select a different practice drum pattern, press the corresponding number button ([1] to [10/0]). 6. To end training, press the [ ] button once again. The drum module will display your score using number buttons [1] to [10/0] and will also speak it to you (in English). For more details regarding scoring, see Scoring function (page 29). Muting specific parts from the practice drum pattern You can mute any of the individual drum parts (i.e., snare, kick, tom, hi-hat, and/or cymbal) that make up the practice drum pattern. If, for example, you were to mute the snare part, you could focus your training on just the snare pad. 1. Press the [DRUM MUTE] button and verify that it lights up. 2. Strike the pad corresponding to the part from the practice drum pattern you wish to mute. • The selected drum part will now be muted. • If the pad corresponding to the muted drum part is not struck for certain period of time, it will be automatically unmuted. 3. To manually unmute all drum parts, press the [DRUM MUTE] button once again and verify that it turns off. NOTE • If you wish to adjust the difficulty level for this training, see the description of the Difficulty Level parameter from Menu Mode (page 50). • You can choose either to mute pads when they are not played in time or to play all pads regardless of when they are struck. For details, see the description of the Ignore Timing parameter from Menu Mode (page 50). • You can set which groups of pads the drum module should consider when deciding whether or not you are playing the correct pattern. For details, see the description of the Pad Gate Group parameter from Menu Mode (page 52). DTX400K/DTX430K/DTX450K Owner's Manual 37
