Troubleshooting The trigger sound is not stable. (For acoustic drums) ● Check the entry "Produces sound but the sensitivity is too low (volume is low)" above. ● Try selecting a larger pad type setting (DT snare → DT HiTom → DT LoTom → DT Kick). (p. 35: [TRG2 Type (Pad Type)]) ● Is the Drum Trigger (Yamaha DT20, etc.) improperly attached with duct tape? (Is there any old adhesive remaining on the head?) ● Is the cable securely connected to the drum trigger (Yamaha DT20, etc.) jack? Double triggering is produced. ● Pads with a level adjustment knob should be adjusted (low- ered). ● Is the gain set too high? (p. 36: [TRG3 Gain, MVI (Minimum Velocity)]) ● Use the self-rejection setting. (p. 36: [TRG5 RejTime (Self Rejection Time)]) ● (KP65) Is the pad type for the input jack to which the KP65 is connected set to Kick Pad? (p. 35: [TRG2 Pad Type]) ● Are you using drum triggers (trigger sensors) made by other manufacturers? Too large a signal can result in double triggering. ● Is the head causing irregular vibrations? It may be necessary to mute the head. ● When using acoustic drums, make sure the Drum Trigger is attached near the rim (above the bearing) and not near the center of the head. ● When using acoustic drums, make sure that nothing is touching the Drum Trigger. Crosstalk (trigger interference from different inputs) is produced. ● Is the gain set too high? (p. 36: [TRG3 Gain, MVI (Minimum Velocity)]) ● Try increasing the rejection parameter. However, avoid setting this value too high since that may cause the sound to not be produced when another pad (trigger input) is hit at the same time. (p. 36: [TRG6 RejLvlAll (Rejection Level)]) ● If crosstalk is produced with a specific trigger input, try using specific rejection. (p. 37: [TRG7 RejLvl (Specified Rejection Level)]) ● When using acoustic drums, place the Drum Trigger away from any nearby drum. Sounds are cut when you play continuously. ● The maximum polyphony of 32 voices might be exceeded. In the Drum Kit Select dispaly's "KIT15 Key Assign Mode" page (p. 29), set the "KeyAssign" value to "semi" or "mono." When two pads (drums) are played only one sound is heard. ● Raise the gain setting of the pad (trigger input) that is not pro- ducing sound. (p. 36: [TRG3 Gain, MVI (Minimum Velocity)]) ● Lower the rejection setting of the pad (trigger input) that is not producing sound. (p. 36: [TRG6 RejLvlAll (Rejection Level)]) ● Lower the specified rejection setting of the pad (trigger input) that is not producing sound (p. 37: [TRG7 RejLvl (Specified Rejection Level)]) ● Are both pads (trigger inputs) set to the same alternate group? (p. 29 Step 14: [KIT14]) The sound is always loud. ● Is the minimum velocities minimum value set too high? (p. 36: [TRG3 Gain, MVI (Minimum Velocity)]) ● Are you using an appropriate velocity curve? (p. 36: [TRG4 VelCurve (Velocity Curve)]) ● Are you using a pad made by another manufacturer? Depend- ing upon the manufacturer, output levels might be too large. The DTX500 does not receive any switch or trigger signals. ● If you can access the Utility display, perform the Factory Set operation. The DTX500 will reset to its factory settings. (p. 33: [UTIL8 Factory Set]) ● Turn the power off then on while holding the [] but- tons together. The DTX500 will reset to its factory settings. The sound does not stop. ● Some voices have very long release times when the "key off" parameter is set to "disable." (p. 28 Step 11: [KIT11]) Press the [DRUM KIT] button to temporarily stop the sound. The pad controller function does not work ● Have you connected a pad equipped with a pad controller, such as the TP100 or TP120SD? ● Are the pad controller settings properly set? (p. 15) The Closed Hi-Hat voice is not produced. ● Is the proper pad type selected? If the RHH135/130 is used as a hi-hat controller, the pad type must be set to "RHH." (p. 35: [TRG2 Pad Type]) The edge or cup sections of the cymbal pad do not produce sound when struck. The choke functions do not work. ● Is the proper pad type selected? Select the appropriate pad type for the kind of cymbal pad you are using. (p. 35: [TRG2 Pad Type]) ● The sound produced by the edge and cup section will not be produced when a pad equipped with a rim switch (PCY135/ 155 etc.) is connected to the Input jack 9- @. Foot Splashes are not produced. ● Is the foot controller connected to the HI HAT CONTROL jack? ● Adjust the detection time of foot splashes. (p. 14: Adjusting the Hi-hat) I need to restore the original factory settings of the instrument. ● Use the Factory Set function (p. 33) to reset the DTX500 inter- nal settings to the initial factory settings. 39 DTX500 Owner's Manual
