discolor the panel or keyboard.

•Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

•Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable

volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Backup battery

•

This instrument has a built-in lithium backup battery. When you unplug the power

cord from the AC outlet, the internal data is retained. However, if the backup battery

fully discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low, the

display indicates “Battery Low.” In this case, immediately memo the data settings,

then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-

fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing

to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a

long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

The DTXPLORER’s Main FeaturesMain Features

The DTXPLORER is equipped with a high-quality 32-polyphony tone generator that produces realistic voices, a

high-performance metronome, and a variety of songs, all built into a compact design.

The DTXPLORER is a versatile instrument that can be used in a variety of situations such as live performance,

personal practice, and much more.

■Drum Trigger Function

•Built into the unit are nine trigger input jacks and a hi-hat controller jack. Jacks that are compatible with rim

switch and 3-zone trigger equipped pads are also supplied. In addition to trigger pad compatibility, the unit can

also be used with devices such as Yamaha’s DT20 Drum Triggers, etc.

•Setup data such as pad trigger input type, sensitivity settings, etc., are stored in four preset patterns. This lets you

simply choose the system that meets your playing needs. The unit also provides a pattern for user memory in

which you can create and store your own custom settings for pads or drum triggers.

•Also included in the unit are 32 preset drum kits. Acoustic drum kit types cover a range of genres from rock, funk,

jazz, reggae, Latin percussion, etc. and are readily available for use.

There are also 10 user memory kits in which you can freely mix, match and edit a variety of drum/percussion

voices to create your own original drum kits.

■Tone Generator

•The DTXPLORER is equipped with a high-quality, 16-bit AWM2 (PCM) tone generator with 32 voice polyphony.

•Voices include 192 drum and percussion voices. Voices cover a wide range of sounds such as highly realistic

acoustic sounds, unique electronic percussion sounds, effect sounds, and much more.

•Also featured is the same internal digital reverb section that is found in Yamaha’s MU series of GM/XG compat-

ible tone generators.

■High Performance Metronome

•The sound for each note value is adjustable. Each note value can be assigned its own separate click voice and

pitch. You can also set a timer that will determine when the metronome stops and set breaks which how many

measures the metronome will play and then be muted.

•The DTXPLORER also features a “Tap” function that lets you set the tempo for the metronome or song by

tapping in tempo on a pad to any tempo you like.

■Preset Songs

•The sequencer contains 22 preset songs (two demo songs plus 20 pattern songs). Two functions that make the

DTXPLORER great for practice are the Bass Solo Function—which lets you play along with the song’s bass part

only—and the Drum Mute Function—which mutes a specific drum part.

■Groove Check Function

•The Groove Check Function is a great training aid that will let you know how accurate your playing is and check

your consistency in dynamics (output level). This function is an excellent aid for those who want to increase their

precision in playing.

■Interface

•A MIDI OUT jack on the rear panel lets you play sounds from an external tone generator or synchronize the

metronome with an external sequencer.

•An AUX IN (Auxiliary In) jack lets you plug in an external audio device such as a CD player, MD player, etc., and

play along.

•A headphones jack is also included.

switching the power ON.

•Make sure the power is switched OFF on all exter-

nal devices connected to the DTXPLORER. After

the DTXPLORER’s power is switched ON, switch

the other device’s power ON.

WARNING

Make sure that the power adaptor’s cord is not bent

at an acute angle when wrapping the cord onto the

hook. Such a situation can result in a damaged power

cord or fire.

●AUX IN Jack (Stereo Mini Phone Jack)

You can connect the audio outputs from a CD player, or other ex-

ternal audio source, to the AUX IN jack to mix the signal from the

external source with the signal from the DTXPLORER. The com-

bined audio can be sent on to an external device via the

DTXPLORER’s output jacks. This jack can be used when you want

to play along with a favorite tune or perform with friends.

Use the volume control on the external device (CD player,

etc.) to adjust the volume balance.

●MIDI OUT Jack

The DTXPLORER’s MIDI function lets you play voices on an

external tone generator with the DTXPLORER’s pads, or synchro-

nize the DTXPLORER’s song or metronome playback with the

playback of an external sequencer.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world standard that

provides a means to connect instruments and computers and allow

them to transmit and receive performance and other data. This stan-

dard allows computers and instruments of different makers and types

to communicate.

Adjusting the Hi-Hat

Hi-hat adjustment is used to determine the point at which

the hi-hat closes when the hi-hat pedal (foot controller) is

pressed.

You can also set the ease at which foot splashes are pro-

duced.

*This setting is only valid when a foot controller is connected

to the HI HAT CONTROL jack. The setting has no effect on

a foot controller connected to any other jack.

Procedure

Press the [SHIFT] + [SAVE/ENT] buttons to view

the following page (page 1 in the Utility Mode).

Use this display to adjust the hi-hat.

To set the point at which the hi-hat closes, flash the

“HHofs=” value then use the jog dial to adjust the

value.

The setting has a range of –32 to 0 to +32. Smaller

values produce a shallower closing point.

To set the ease at which foot splashes are produced,

flash the “T=” value then use the jog dial to adjust

the value.

The setting has a range of 0 to 127. Larger values

make foot splashes that are long and easier to pro-

duce.

*Too high a value will makes foot splashes too easy to

produce, resulting in the continuous production of foot

splashes when the pedal is held down continuously.

a single item, pressing the [<]/[>] buttons will select the next

or previous page.

*The “‚” mark on the lower right side of the display indicates

that a succeeding page exists. Likewise, the “–” mark on the

lower left side of the display indicates a previous page ex-

ists.

Now use the Master Equalizer (2-band shelving type) setting

Set the Alternate Group

By assigning voices like the hi-hat’s open and closed voices—

voices that you don’t want to have playing at the same time—

to the same alternate group, the voice that is currently sound-

ing will be switched off when the trigger for the next voice in

the same alternate group is received (after the open hi-hat voice

is switched off, the closed hi-hat voice sounds).

Use the [>] button to view page KIT10, then rotate the jog

dial to set the alternate group (off, 1 to 9).

When this setting is set to “off”, the mute will not be active.

Trigger Setup Edit contains various settings related to trigger input signals received from the

pads or trigger sensors that are connected to the Trigger Input jacks. It lets you make adjust-

ments so that the DTXPLORER can better deal with these signals.

If you are using a drum trigger other than those that came with the DTXPLORER set, it will be

necessary to adjust the sensitivity or assign voices to the individual trigger inputs. This section

also has settings that help prevent cross talk and double triggers.

Trigger Setup Edit

Selecting the Trigger Setup

The DTXPLORER includes four different preset types (No. 1 to 4)

in the Trigger Setup. No. 1 contains data for a basic setup that uses

the pads that came with the DTXPLORER connected to the unit’s

Trigger Input jacks as labeled on the rear panel (1SNARE, etc.). When

shipped from the factory, Trigger Setup No. 1 is already selected.

No. 2 to 4 also contain setup data designed for use with the

DTXPLORER’s accompanying pads. Settings related to sensitivity

and expression vary in these presets. No. 5 is used for saving a cus-

tom setup. Refer to the [Editing the Trigger Setup] section described

in the next section for more information on creating a custom setup.

Select the Trigger Setup that fits your playing style best. Use the

procedure described below to select the Trigger Setup you want to

use.

1. Press the [SHIFT] + [DRUM KIT] buttons to view page 1

in the Trigger Setup Select display (TRIG1).

2. Rotate the jog dial to select the trigger setup that matches

the drum kit you are using.

Editing the Trigger Setup

If you are using pads or drum triggers other than those that came

with your DTXPLORER, or if you need to solve problems with

double triggers or cross talk, the Trigger Setup provides more de-

tailed settings—such as changing the preset’s trigger setup—for

individual pads.

If you’ve created a custom setup for reasons described above, that

setup can be saved to Trigger Setup No. 5.

1. Press the [SHIFT] + [DRUM KIT] buttons to view page 1

in the Trigger Setup Select display (TRIG 1). The currently

selected Trigger Setup is indicated in the display.

*If you want to edit a different trigger setup, use the jog dial

and select the setup at this point.

2. Use the setup pages TRIG2 through TRIG8 to edit the Trig-

ger Setup.

Press the [<]/[>] buttons to change the page number and

move the flashing cursor to the item you want to edit.

TRIG3 Gain, MVI (Minimum Velocity)

Gain [Range] 0 to 99

Adjusts the input gain (sensitivity) for the input jack shown in the

upper half of the display.

Assigning a larger value lets a smaller input level from the pad

create sound.

*This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad

type is set in [TRIG2 Pad (Pad Type)]. Some fine-tuning of the

value will be necessary.

*Some pads are equipped with a sensitivity adjustment knob.

Please refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with the pad for

further information.

MVl [Range] 1 to 127

Sets the MIDI Velocity (volume) that is transmitted when the pad

is hit the weakest. Large values will produce a high volume level

even if the pad is hit softly. However, this will result in a narrow

volume range making it difficult to adequately produce wider dy-

namic levels.

The trigger input level will be displayed as a % in the upper right

hand corner of the display. The maximum velocity (input level 99%)

will be 127. The level is low when the pad is hit the weakest so a

wider dynamic range will be possible.

*This value will be automatically set after the appropriate pad

type is set in [TRIG2 Pad (Pad Type)]. Some fine-tuning of the

value will be necessary.

An optional 3-zone pad connected to the DTXPLORER does not produce sound when

struck.

●Only the “1 SNARE” trigger input jack on the DTXPLORER has the capacity to produce separate sounds for each

of the zones on a 3-zone pad. When connected to any other trigger input the pad can only produce sounds set for

one or two of the zones. For example, an optional 2-zone RHH130/135 hi-hat pad cannot produce the edge sound

when it is connected to the “7 HI-HAT” trigger input, which is only compatible with a monaural pad. For more

information, refer to the owner’s manual that came with the pad.

Pad controller functions do not operate properly or functions are not available when an

optional pad with pad controller functions is connected to the main unit.
