 Sampling memory included as standard

The DTX900M comes with 512 MB of sampling memory (SDRAM) built in. Accordingly, external audio can be sam-

pled without the need for a separately-sold memory chip (DIMM).

 Addition of a new Auto Power-Off function

The DTX900M features an Auto Power-Off function that will help to save energy should you forget to turn it off your-

self. This function automatically turns off the drum trigger module after a set period of inactivity.

 Setting the Auto Power-Off function

Using the following procedure, you can set the amount of time that the Auto Power-Off function waits before turning

off the drum trigger module.

 Shortcut for disabling the Auto Power-Off function

If you hold down the [REC] button while turn-

ing on the DTX900M, the Auto Power-Off

function will be disabled (and the message

“Auto power off disabled” will be displayed).

This function will remain disabled until you set

a new Auto Power-Off time.

IMPORTANT

• Because of the addition of SDRAM, separately-sold memory chips (DIMM) can no longer be installed.

Accordingly, the Optional DIMM Installation section of this Owner’s Manual (on pages 147 to 149) does not

apply to the DTX900M.

• Whenever you encounter the phrase “DIMM (sold separately)” in this Owner’s Manual, you should interpret it

as meaning “SDRAM (built-in)”.

• SDRAM supports both writing and deleting of data; however, the content of this memory is cleared whenever the power is turned off.

NOTICE

For DTX900M Owners

Differences from DTX900

Building on the performance and functionality of the DTX900—the flagship model in our lineup

of drum trigger modules—the enhanced DTX900M model delivers added convenience.

These DTX900M enhancements are described in detail below.

Reading this Owner’s Manual

The content of this manual is identical to that of the original DTX900 Owner’s Manual. With the exception of

the functions described in this section, there are no other differences between the DTX900 and the

DTX900M. Therefore, whenever you encounter the term “DTX900” in this Owner’s Manual, you should inter-

pret it as meaning “DTX900M”.

 Addition of new Trigger Setups

Two new types of Trigger Setups for DTX920K are now supported. (Page 23)

Accordingly, the complete Trigger Setup List is as follows.

When you specify the model number, the DTX900M will automatically optimize the trigger output levels for all of your

pads.

* In the default setting, “PRE:02 920K Normal” for DTX920K is selected.

 Addition of new pad types

New types of pads are now supported as follows. (Page 109)

KP100, KU100, XP80, XP70, TP70S, TP70, PCY100, PCY90

Accordingly, the complete pad-type table is as follows.

 Expansion of the input gain setting range

The input gain setting range is expanded from between 0 and 63 to between 0 to 127. (Page 109)

• The DTX900M remains charged and draws a small amount of power even when turned off. To shut it down completely, therefore, unplug it from

the mains power supply.

• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off function may not turn off the drum module when the set time has elapsed. We recommend,

therefore, that you always turn off the drum module manually when you are finished using it.

• If your drum module is connected to other equipment such as an amplifier, speakers, or a computer, but you do not intend to use it for some time,

we recommend that you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the other equipment.

If you do not want the drum module to turn off automatically when connected to other equipment, disable the Auto Power-Off function.

• When the Auto Power-Off function turns off the drum module, any unsaved data will be lost. Be sure, therefore, to store your work before the drum

module turns off.

• If the drum module’s AutoPowerOff parameter is set to “off”, this setting will be retained when you import system data that was stored externally,

regardless of the Auto Power-Off setting contained in that data. If, however, an Auto Power-Off time has been set using the AutoPowerOff parame-

ter and system data is imported, the Auto Power-Off setting contained in that data will be applied.

NOTE

• Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact times and actual power-off times may vary to a certain extent.

• To turn the drum module back on after it has been turned off by the Auto Power-Off function, press the (Standby/On) switch once to return it to

the Standby position, and then press it once again to the On position.

Main Features

Designed primarily for professional drummers, the DTX900 has a Drum Trigger feature, a 64-note polyphonic Tone Gener-

ator, a built-in Sampling feature that lets you expand the available sounds, a high-performance Metronome (Click) feature and

a built-in music sequencer that enables recording and playback of rhythm or accompaniment patterns, and even lets you create

an entire Song. The DTX900 is an exceptionally versatile instrument that can be used in a variety of situations such as live

performance, personal practice, and much more.

■ Drum Trigger

• The DTX900 drum trigger module is compatible with the

new pads (XP series.)

• Built into the unit are 15 Trigger Input jacks and a Hi-Hat

Controller jack.

• The instrument also features jacks that are compatible with

two-zone or three-zone pads (pads that transmit different

signals depending on the area that is hit). Moreover, the

snare drum jack is compatible with pad-controller-equipped

pads. This lets you adjust the ‘virtual’ snares and the tun-

ing—just as you would with a snare drum. All in all, the

DTX900 offers virtually the same playability, expressive-

ness and functionality that you get in an acoustic drum kit.

• By combining the Stack function, which lets you play mul-

tiple voices (MIDI notes) at the same time, along with the

Alternate function, which lets you play a sequence of the

Stack program, you can create complex performances and

play passages in realtime that would otherwise be impossi-

ble on conventional acoustic drums.

■ Tone Generator

• The DTX900 is equipped with a high-quality, 16-bit AWM2

(PCM) tone generator with 64-voice polyphony that pro-

duces dynamic voices or exceptional realism.

• The instrument has a wide variety of Voices including

authentic acoustic drums, unique electronic percussion,

sound effects, and normal keyboard Voices. It can also be

used as a high-quality drum tone generator along with vari-

ous MIDI devices, even without using the Drum Pads.

• Also included in the unit are 50 preset Drum Kits which

contain natural, authentic sounding acoustic Drum Kits, and

cover a wide range of music genres, such as rock, funk,

jazz, reggae, Latin, etc. Moreover, User kit memory is avail-

able for storing 50 sets. With this, you can set up your own

original Drum Kits using the various Drum Voices.

• The Sampling feature lets you record the audio signal to the

DTX900 or load the audio ﬁle from the USB storage device

to create your original Voice. The created Voice can be

assigned to the Drum Kit as desired.

• The instrument is equipped with a Variation Effect which

can be used for each Drum Kit as well as Reverb, Chorus

and Master Effects which can be used for the entire

DTX900. In addition, an Insertion Effect for the sound input

via the AUX IN/SAMPLING IN jack is provided, allowing

you to adjust the quality of AUX IN/SAMPLING IN sound

or record an audio signal to which the Insertion Effect is

applied to the DTX900 in the Sampling mode.

■ Music Sequencer (Song)

• The built-in sequencer contains a wide variety of Preset

Songs. The Mute function lets you turn on/off the rhythm

(drum & percussion sound) part, bass part and other accom-

paniment part individually, or turn each track on/off.

• The DTX900 also allows you to record your performance in

real time and allows you to play along with the Song data

while muting the original drum part.

•Four Pad Songs can be individually controlled and simulta-

neously played by trigger input from the pads.

■ High-performance Metronome (Click)

• The DTX900 provides a comprehensive, multi-function

metronome, allowing various click settings such as voice

and tuning for each beat timing. Furthermore, you can

change the accent timing and use the Measure Break feature

that alternates click playback between on and off (mute)

repeatedly.

• The Groove Check Function checks and provides instant

feedback on your rhythmic skills—a powerful tool for

improving your technique. It includes a Rhythm Gate func-

tion that produces sounds only if your timing is accurate.

■ Chain

• Programming a Chain sequence lets you call up the Drum

Kit number, Song number and Click settings (tempo and

beat) in order during your live performance. Each step in

the programmed Chain can be called up by hitting the pad.

■ Interfaces

• The USB terminal and MIDI connectors on the rear panel

let you connect a computer and other MIDI devices to the

DTX900. These enable fast, efﬁcient and comprehensive

music-creation capabilities, letting you play sounds from an

external tone generator as well as record your own perfor-

mance using the included Cubase AI.

• Each of the six INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT jacks can sepa-

rately output any speciﬁed Drum Voice such as Snare and

Tom to send each instrument signal to an external mixer for

live performance or recording session. In addition, a Digital

Output (S/PDIF) terminal lets you transfer the DTX900 ste-

reo sounds to other devices with no noise and full digital

quality.

• The instrument has a built-in AUX IN/SAMPLING IN jack

which lets you connect a CD player to the DTX900—allow-

ing you to play the instrument along with CD playback as

well as use the powerful Sampling feature.

■ Rear Panel

q F (Standby/On) switch

Press to turn the power ON or OFF.

w DC IN terminal

Connect the AC power adaptor to this terminal.

e Cable clip

Wrap the DC output cable of the adaptor around the cable clip

to prevent accidental unplugging of the cable during operation.

r LCD Contrast Control

Use this control to set the LCD display for optimum legibility.

t GAIN knob

For adjusting the input gain of the audio at the AUX IN/SAM-

PLING IN jack. Depending on the connected device (micro-

phone, CD player, etc.), you may need to adjust this for

optimum level. Increase the gain by rotating the knob clock-

wise, and decrease it by rotating the knob counter-clockwise.

y AUX IN/SAMPLING IN jack

External audio signals can be input via this phone jack (stan-

dard stereo phone plug). This is convenient for playing along

with music from a CD player or other device. In the Sampling

mode, this jack is used for capturing audio data as User Voices.

u OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks

External audio signals can be input via these phone jacks (1/4"

mono phone plug). Various devices such as microphone, gui-

tar, bass, CD player, can be connected to these jacks. For ste-

reo signals (such as from audio equipment), use both jacks.

For mono signals (such as from a microphone or guitar), use

only the L jack.

i PHONES jack

For connection to a pair of stereo headphones.

o INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 1 – 6 jacks

Line level audio signals are output from this instrument via

these phone jacks (1/4" mono phone plug). These outputs are

independent of the main output (at the L/MONO and R jacks),

and can be freely assigned to any Drum Voice. This lets you

route speciﬁc sounds for processing with a favorite outboard

effect unit.

!0 DIGITAL OUT connector

This is for connecting to a coaxial digital input (S/P DIF) on an

external audio device. This jack digitally outputs stereo audio

signals identical to those from the OUTPUT L/MONO and R

jacks, but is not affected by the !6 MASTER volume slider set-

ting (the digital jack always outputs audio signals at the maxi-

mum volume level).

!1 MIDI IN/OUT connectors

These jacks are for the transfer of MIDI data to and from exter-

nal MIDI devices.

!2 USB terminals

This instrument is equipped with two types of USB terminals on

the rear panel – USB TO HOST and USB TO DEVICE. The

USB TO HOST terminal is used to connect this instrument to

the computer via the USB cable. The USB connection between

the instrument and the computer can only be used for transfer

of MIDI data. No audio data can be transferred via USB. The

USB TO DEVICE terminal is used to connect this instrument to

a USB storage device (ﬂash memory, hard disk drive, etc.) via

the USB cable. This lets you save the data created on this

instrument to an external USB storage device as well as load

data from the device to the instrument. Save/Load operations

can be performed in the File mode.

!3 HI-HAT CONTROL jack

This jack is used to connect a hi-hat controller. Depending on

the setting on the Drum Kit mode (page 78), you can transmit

the MIDI messages such as Control Change by using the Hi-

Hat Controller.

!4 Trigger Input jacks (q SNARE – o HI-HAT)

These jacks, which are compatible with stereo pads (two-zone

and three-zone pads) as well as mono pads, receive the Trigger

Signal transmitted from the drum pads. Furthermore, the q

SNARE – t TOM4 jacks are also compatible with the Pad

Controller (page 59).

!5 Trigger Input jack (!0/!1 KICK)

This jack is designed to accept two separate trigger signals

from two mono (single) pad by using a Y-shaped cable (stereo

phone plug for this jack and two mono plugs for the two pads).

When using the KP125W/KP65 equipped with the PAD INPUT

jack, the Trigger Signals of another pad connected to the PAD

INPUT jack and KP itself can be transferred via a single stereo

cable (no need for a Y-shaped cable) to the DTX900. In this

case, the stereo cable is plugged into the OUTPUT jack of a

pad and this Trigger Input jack.

!6 Trigger Input jacks (!2 – !5)

These jacks, which are compatible with stereo pads (two-zone

and three-zone pads) as well as mono pads, receive the Trigger

Signal transmitted from the drum pads.

Basic Operation

Use these four buttons to navigate through the display,

moving the cursor around the various selectable items and

parameters in the screen. When selected, the relevant item

is highlighted (the cursor appears as a dark block with

inverse characters). You can change the value of the item

(parameter) at which the cursor is located by using the data

dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons.

Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases the

value, while rotating it to the left (counter-clockwise)

decreases it. For parameters with large value ranges, you

can increase the value by 10 by simultaneously holding

down the [INC/YES] button and pressing the [DEC/NO]

button. To decrease by 10, do the opposite; simultaneously

hold down the [DEC/NO] button and press the [INC/YES]

button.

Each mode described above contains various displays, with

various functions and parameters. To navigate your way

through these displays and select a desired function, use the

[F1] – [F6] buttons and the [SF1] – [SF6] buttons. When

you select a mode, the available displays or menus appear

directly above the buttons at the bottom of the display (as

shown below).

Depending on the currently selected mode, up to six func-

tions are available and can be called up with the [F1] – [F6]

buttons. Keep in mind that the available functions differ

depending on the selected mode.

Depending on the currently selected mode, up to six func-

tions (sub-functions) are also available and can be called up

with the [SF1] – [SF6] buttons. Keep in mind that the avail-

able functions differ depending on the selected mode.

(Some displays may not have any sub-functions for these

buttons.)

DTX900 Owner’s Manual

In order to make operation of the DTX900 as comprehen-

sive and as smooth as possible, all functions and operations

have been grouped in “modes.” To enter the desired mode,

press the corresponding Mode button.

The function of each mode is as follows:

You can adjust or set various parameters by using the data

dial, [INC/YES] button and [DEC/NO] button in each

mode. When changing the value of the parameter in these

modes, the [E] (Edit Indicator) will appear on the top left

corner of the LCD display. This indicates that the current

program (Drum Kit, etc.) has been modiﬁed but not yet

stored. If you wish to store the status or sound obtained by

editing, be sure to store the current program to internal

User memory by pressing the [ENTER/STORE] button

before selecting another program.

For parameters having large value ranges, you can also

enter the value directly, using the buttons below the LCD

display as a numeric keypad. When the cursor is located on

such a parameter, the [NUM] icon appears at the lower

right corner of the LCD display. When the [SF6] NUM but-

ton is pressed in this status, each digit (1 – 9, 0) is assigned

to the [SF1] – [SF5] and [F1] – [F5] buttons as shown

below, allowing you to input a number directly by using

these buttons.

After completing the number input, press the [ENTER/

STORE] button to actually enter the number.

Note that the cursor highlight can be moved to the currently

edited number by pressing the [F6] CURSOR button, and

then moved from digit to digit by using the Cursor [N] and

[M] buttons. This method is useful when you want to

directly change only one speciﬁc digit. The cursor disap-

pears when pressing the [F6] button again.
