Basic Operations
20
All of the DTXTREME IIs operations are done using the
various panel controls and the two displays. In this section,
we’ll explain how to use these controls.
1
The DTXTREME IIs has seven function modes. You can
select each mode by simply pressing the corresponding
mode button. An indicator light shows which mode you
are currently working in. When you turn the unit on or
exit from the other six modes, the DTXTREME IIs will
go into PLAY mode and the PLAY indicator will light
(you cannot exit from this basic mode).

Use the Page buttons (

) to switch among the
available setting pages (LCD screens).

There are five knobs beneath the LCD display. Each knob
corresponds to a parameter shown above in the LCD
screen and can be used to set the value. To advance
rapidly or jump through the available values,
simultaneously hold down the SHIFT button and turn
the appropriate knob.
When you are editing a drum kit and want to set the same
parameters for different targets (trigger inputs 1 to 16,
etc.), you can use the leftmost knob to conveniently
switch the target without changing the screen you are
working in.

If you are working in a specific page or performing a
specific operation, and the ENTER/YES indicator flashes,
this is a prompt indicating you should answer YES or NO.
Simply press the ENTER/YES button to execute the
operation, or press the EXIT/NO button to cancel it.
Pressing the STORE button to save edited data also causes
the ENTER/YES indicator to flash. In this case, press the
ENTER/YES button to save the data, or press the EXIT/
NO button to cancel the store operation.

Since most settings are automatically stored into the memory of
the DTXTREME IIs, you do not need to execute the store
operation unless prompted.
Basically, this is all you need to know to start working with
and playing your DTXTREME IIs. Any crucial operations
are preceded by a confirmation display that allows you to
cancel the operation as needed. However, you must first
complete one very important setting before actually playing
with the DTXTREME IIs. Here is a chance to put into
practice some of the things you’ve just learned...
