The DTXPLORER lets you create your own original drum kit by assigning drum voices to the pads
and setting their tuning, voice, decay, reverb, etc.

1. Select a Drum Kit

Press the [DRUM KIT] button to view page 1 in Drum Kit
Select (KIT1).

Rotate the jog dial to select the drum kit you would like to use
as a starting point for your original drum kit. We recommend
that you select a drum kit that is close to the type of kit you
would like to create.

* Preset drum kits (No. 1 to 32) and user drum kits (No. 33 to

42) can be used for editing as well.

2. Assign Drum Voices

In this example, we’ll create a bass drum (kick) sound.

2-1. Press the [<]/[>] buttons to view page KIT2 in Drum

Voice Select.

2-2. To select the pad you want to edit (Trigger Input Source),

simply hit the pad you’d like to edit, or press the [SHIFT]
+ [<]/[>] buttons.

Step on the kick pedal or press the [SHIFT] + [<]/[>]
buttons and select “

•kick

”. Now the pad that is con-

nected to the 8 KICK Trigger Input Jack is selected or in
other words, the kick pedal’s pad input is selected.

About the Trigger Input Sources

Sets the voice for each input source of the pad.
The Input Source is trigger data that is transmitted by the
pads or trigger sensors connected to input jacks 1 to 9 of the
DTXPLORER.
When monaural pads TP60/65/80, KP60/65/80, PCY60/65/
80/130, DT10/20, etc. are used, one Input Source will be as-
signed to one input jack.
When stereo pads TP65S/80S, PCY65S/80S/130S, etc. are
used, two Input Sources (pad input and rim switch input or 2
kinds of pad input, etc.) will be assigned to one input jack.
When a 3-zone pad such as the TP65S/PCY150S, etc., is used,
three Input Sources (pad input and two rim switches, etc.)
will be assigned to one input jack.
To select the pad (Trigger Input Source), simply hit the target
pad, or press the [SHIFT] + [<]/[>] buttons.

Each Input Source is defined as follows.
