Features
The DTXTREME is designed for professional drummers and sports flexible drum-triggering
features, a 64-note polyphonic tone generator that conforms to the GM System Level 1
standard, a music sequencer that enables the recording and playback of rhythm or
accompaniment patterns, as well as the creation of an entire song. The instrument is ideal
for live performance, rhythm training, music creation and recording in a studio, and so on.
Drum Triggering
■
Flexible external controls via 16 trigger input jacks, hi-hat controller jack, and footswitch
jack. These jacks can connect to any Yamaha triggering gear including traditional DTX/
DTXPRESS drum pads, DT series trigger pickups, and the latest drum pads with real drum
heads.
■
Combined with the latest drum pads, the DTXTREME can enable buzz roll that require
high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range.
■
Freely-adjustable trigger inputs. Each trigger input can be edited to suit the input device
(type) connected to the jack, how sensitive it should be, and so on.
■
Freely-assignable voices. Using MIDI note numbers, each trigger input can be assigned a
specific voice from the internal tone generator. A set of trigger-to-voice configurations can
be stored as a “drum kit.” The DTXTREME stores up to 40 drum kits internally and up to
99 externally on Memory Card. Also, the DTXTREME comes with 60 preset drum kits.
■
Each trigger input can be set to play several MIDI note numbers simultaneously or
sequentially, enabling the playing of chords or melodic phrases, or even drum patterns
with a single pad.
■
Some drum kits are available with position sensing. Position sensing lets you recreate the
sound of an actual snare drum with added realism.
Tone Generator
■
A variety of high-quality sounds (voices) in a 64-note polyphonic AWM2 (PCM) tone
generator that conforms to the GM System Level 1 standard.
■
Preset voices include 1757 drum or percussion sounds and 128 keyboard sounds. The
DTXTREME drum voices include, of course, the great Yamaha drums (Maple Custom
series, Recording Custom series, and so on), plus the latest samples and looped sounds,
promising to inspire a drummer's creative mind.
■
Each drum voice can be edited using various parameters for effects, volume, pan, pitch,
and so on.
■
A special snare drum voice offers detailed edits like choice of head material, strainer
tension, muffling (muting) method in addition to normal edits.
