NOTE

• If you want to replace some of the pads from your drum set, or if

you need to solve any crosstalk problems, the operation "Trigger

Setup Edit" on page 34 describes how to make a detailed setting

for each pad after the above setting is done. If you have created a

setup for these reasons, that setup can be saved to one of the Trig-

ger Setup locations (8-11).

● About Connecting Pads

• The DTX500's input jack parameters are preset with settings

suitable for pads when an appropriate Trigger Setup is

selected. If you intend to connect any other type of pad or a

drum trigger (Yamaha DT20, etc.) to the input jack, that

jack's parameters (sensitivity, etc.) should be changed to set-

tings that suit the particular pad. Pad sensitivity is set in the

Trigger Setup Select display's Page 3 [TRG3 Gain] setting

(p. 36).

• Pad-controller-equipped pads like the XP100SD, TP100,

etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jack 1SNARE.

• Three-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY155/150S, PCY135/

130SC, etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jacks

5RIDE and 6CRASH.

• 7HI HAT is a stereo input type jack. Pads equipped with

trigger switches like the TP65S, PCY65S, PCY130S, etc.

can be connected to this jack.

• The 2TOM1/ 0, 3TOM2/ !, 4TOM3/ @ jacks corre-

spond to a two-trigger input that uses a stereo jack for L and

R. A Y-shaped cable (stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be

used to input two trigger signals.

• The 8KICK/ 9 jack accepts a two-trigger input using a

stereo cable and jack for L and R signals. A Y-shaped cable

(stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be used to input two trig-

ger signals.

Also, if the KP125W/125/65 kick pad is connected to the

DTX500's input jack 9 with a stereo cable, the external pad

input jack on the KP125W/125/65 can be used as the input

for Input jack 9.

• In addition to the 8KICK/ 9 jack, the 2TOM1/ 0,

3TOM2/ !, and 4 TOM3/ @ jacks can be used to con-

nect a second bass drum pedal to create a double-bass drum

set.
