Yamaha DTXTREME Owner's Manual (basic Section) - Page 8

Music Sequencer s Simple and easy 2-track sequencer that can be used for the real-time recording of your performance or external sequence data as user songs. Each track can contain several MIDI channels (1 to 16). Since the DTXTREME can sync with an external sequencer, you can start recording by simply hitting a drum pad or the Start button on the DTXTREME or an external sequencer. The sequencer also offers step recording so that you can create or edit a song step-by-step while watching the displayed information on the DTXTREME. s A wide variety of 164 preset songs. Also, the DTXTREME stores up to 32 user songs internally and up to 99 externally on the Memory Card. s Step recording feature allows for entering or editing the song data step by step. s Selective playback feature. As you can simply mute the drum or any other part in a song while controlling the volume of each part, this is ideal for a "minus-one" setting for practice and so on. s Groove check feature that measures timing accuracy when hitting the pads. This is also useful for practicing and so on. s Click feature for playing with the sequencer. You can choose a click sound separately from the drum kit settings. Easy Operations and Performance controls s Chain play feature that can play drum kits and songs in a specified order. s Backlit LCD display and LED display. Also, 5 Data Control knobs on the DTXTREME front panel ensure accessibility to parameters shown in the LCD display. s Stereo outputs and 6 individual outputs that are convenient for sending a specific sound (snare drum, bass drum, tom, or so on) in parallel to an external mixer for further processing. s Top-panel volume slider controls that easily adjust the volume balance between instruments or parts (drum kit, accompaniment, and click). These slider controls can even be used to adjust the reverb return level for an entire drum kit, and the reverb send level for each instrument in the kit. This simplifies the process of adjusting the reverb settings to suit the acoustics of your surroundings. Two more dedicated slider controls are also provided for adjusting headophones and click (metronome) volumes. Interfaces and Expandability s MIDI (IN, OUT, THRU) and TO HOST terminals offer connectivity between the DTXTREME and external MIDI devices and a personal computer for further applications when using these devices together. However, the TO HOST and MIDI terminals cannot be used at the same time (you need to select which to use by the HOST SELECT switch). s AUX IN stereo jack that can be connected to an audio player (CD, MD, tape, etc). Playback on that player can be monitored using headphones and output from the stereo outputs of the DTXTREME. s Memory Card (SmartMedia) compatible. You can use the Memory Card to store and read data including drum kits, songs, and chain. The Memory Card can also be used to supply waveform data in AIFF format for sound expansion on the DTXTREME. 8
