DTX900 Owner’s Manual
Tone Generator Block (Drum Kits and Drum Voices)
The tone generator block is the section of the DTX900 which plays the Drum Voice assigned to the Trigger Input Source
which transmits the trigger signal. Assigning each of Drum Voices to each of the Trigger Input Sources makes up a Drum
Kit. A total of 50 Preset Drum Kits are provided in the DTX900. Drum Kits can be edited or created as desired and then
stored to up to 50 User Drum Kit locations in internal memory, or stored to a maximum 1584 External Drum Kits (16 Banks
x 99 kits = 1584 kits) in an external USB storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE connector.
The DTX900 is a comprehensive sound source in it own right just with the built-in Preset Drum Kits; however, you get even
more out of the instrument by understanding the internal structure and creating your own original Drum Kits.

Drum Voices assigned to each of the Trigger Input Sources
You can create your own original Drum Kit by assigning the desired Drum Voice to each of the Trigger
Input Sources coming from the pad. For instructions, see page 61.

Convenient Voice Set assignment for each Trigger Input jack
Assign Drum Voices to each of the Trigger Input Sources may be time-consuming and even tedious,
difficult work. This is why the DTX900 provides the Voice Set parameter. Simply by selecting a value
of the Voice Set parameter, you can assign the Drum Voices to all the Trigger Input Sources corre-
sponding to the respective Trigger Input jacks. For instructions, see page 79.
