Trigger Setup Edit
Trigger Setup Edit contains various settings related to trigger input signals received from pads
or drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) that are connected to the trigger input jacks. These set-
tings let you optimize the DTXPRESS IV for best operation and response to these signals.
If you are using drum triggers attached to acoustic drums, or pads other than those that came
with the DTXPRESS IV set, you’ll need to adjust the sensitivity and assign voices to the individ-
ual trigger inputs. This section also has settings that help prevent crosstalk* and double trigger-
ing*.
* Crosstalk: The interference between trigger signals of physically adjacent pads, producing unexpected notes.
* Double triggering: The condition where a single pad hit causes multiple (usually two) triggers.
Trigger Setup procedure
If you are using pads or drum triggers other than those that came
with your DTXPRESS IV Set (Standard Set/Special Set), or if
you need to solve problems with double triggering or crosstalk,
the Trigger Setup provides more detailed settings—such as
changing the preset’s trigger setup—for individual pads.
If you’ve created a custom setup for these reasons or others, that
setup can be saved to one of the Trigger Setup locations (8–11).

Press the [SHIFT] + [DRUM KIT] buttons to call up the Trig-
ger Setup Select page (TRG1). The currently selected Trigger
Setup is indicated in the display.

ply hit the pad you want to edit or use the [SHIFT] + [

Rotate the jog dial to change the setting.
* An asterisk “

is changed. This asterisk will disappear after the Store opera-
tion is carried out.
* The Trigger Input Level produced when a pad is hit is shown
on the upper right side of the display. When setting the gain,
use this level as a guide to measure how hard a pad is being
hit.
