DTX900 Owner’s Manual
From this display, you can set the parameters which deter-
mine how the DTX900 responds to the Trigger Signal for
each Trigger Input Source. This display consists of two
pages.
1
SOURCE (Trigger Input Source)
Determines the Trigger Input Source to be edited. You can
change the Trigger Input Source by hitting the corresponding
pad when Input Lock is turned off.
B
TrigLink (Trigger Link)
When any other value than “off” is selected here, different
Trigger Input Sources (on the same pad) can generate the
Trigger Signals simultaneously by simply hitting a certain
Trigger Input Source. Keep in mind that the available values
(Trigger Input Source) differ depending on the Trigger Input
Source specified at
1
.
C
TrigVelocity (Trigger Velocity)
Determines the value of velocity generated by hitting the pad
corresponding to the SOURCE specified at
1
. When “vari-
able” is selected, the velocity value is determined by your hit-
ting strength. When a value between “1” – “127” is selected,
the corresponding value is used as the velocity regardless of
your hitting strength.

This appears when another page can be called up from the
current page. Use the Cursor [
M
] or [
N
] button to call up
another page.
E
[SF6] Input Lock
You can turn Input Lock on or off by pressing this button.
When Input Lock is turned on (the [L] indicator appears at the
top right of the display), the Trigger Input jack
1
cannot be
changed even if you hit any pad. This function is useful when
you want to adjust the parameters of the current pad (con-
nected to the current Trigger Input jack) while hitting other
pads.
F
TrigAltGroup (Trigger Alternate Group)
Determines the Alternate Group to which the Trigger Input
Source is assigned. If multiple Trigger Input Source are
grouped with the same number assigned, only one input from
that group is enabled at a time. When a Trigger Input Source
is enabled from a trigger alternate group, other Trigger Input
Source from the same group respectively generate a MIDI
note off event for the corresponding MIDI note number. The
RcvKeyOff parameter for the drum Voice (10 ch) should be
set to “on” in the display called up via the [DRUM KIT]
→
[F2] VOICE
→
[SF4] OTHER.
Up to 32 Alternate Groups can be defined. You can also select
“off” here if you wish to allow the simultaneous playback of
sounds.
G
TrigMono/Poly (Trigger Mono/Poly)
Determines whether the current Trigger Input Source is
played back monophonically or polyphonically. If “mono” is
selected, triggering the same Voice continuously will stop the
previous sound, then start the same Voice sound. Note that the
previous sound is stopped by a note off message, unlike the
Mono/Poly parameter in the display called up via the [DRUM
KIT]
→
[F2] VOICE
→
[SF4] OTHER. Accordingly, the
RcvKeyOff parameter for the Voice (current Trigger Input
Source) should be set to “on” in the display called up via the
[DRUM KIT]
→
[F2] VOICE
→
[SF4] OTHER. If “Poly” is
selected, there is no such limitation.
H
Mask Time
Determines the amount of time within which the DTX900
does not accept the Trigger Signal from the current Trigger
Input Source after you hit the corresponding pad. When this
parameter is set to “2.0s” for example, the DTX900 ignores
the Trigger Signal for two seconds after you hit the corre-
sponding pad.
I
Hold Mode
This parameter is normally set to “off,” so that that hitting the
same pad (current Trigger Input Source) only triggers (starts)
the corresponding Voice sound. On the other hand, when set
to “on,” hitting the same pad alternately both triggers and
stops the corresponding Voice sound. Because note off mes-
sages are used for stopping the Voice sound, you need to set
the RcvKeyOff parameter to on in the display called up via
[DRUM KIT]
→
[F2] VOICE
→
[SF4] OTHER.
