Create Your Own Original Drum Kit
The DTXPRESS IV lets you create your own original Drum Kit by assigning your favorite Drum
Voice to each pad and setting its tuning, pan, decay, reverb, etc.
* Drum Voice: Mainly individual percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to each of the pads.
* Drum Kit: A collection of Drum Voices assigned to pads.

Select a Drum Kit
Press the [DRUM KIT] button to view the Drum Kit Select
display (KIT1).
Rotate the jog dial to select the Drum Kit you want to use as a
starting point for your original Drum Kit. A good idea is to
select a Drum Kit that is close in sound to the type of kit you
intend to create.
* Preset Drum Kits (1–50) and user Drum Kits (51–70) can be
used for editing as well.

About the Trigger Input Sources
The Input Source indicates the trigger data that is transmitted by the pads
or drum triggers (Yamaha DT20, etc.) that are connected to trigger input
jacks

When mono pads TP65, KP65, PCY65/130, DT10/20, etc. are used, one
Input Source is assigned to one input jack. When stereo pads RHH130,
PCY65S, etc. are used, two Input Sources (pad input and rim switch input
or 2 kinds of pad inputs, etc.) are assigned to one input jack.
When three-zone pads TP65S, TP120SD/100, PCY150S/130SC, etc., are

be assigned to one input jack.
