The manual is like most owners manuals, and serves as a reference as to what each function is and how to operate it. Consider a car, you get a manual with it, but nowhere in there does it tell you how to drive! Seriously, the video is very good, thanks for posting. The reason you don't see "B-D" for the first notes is they are in (parentheses) and are for external sounds outside the GM range - the internal voices are from C#-1/13 - A#5/94. TEMPO can be stored for each KIT with 200 user kits!
Cheers Eddie, been thinking of buying one of these for a while, been put off by what everyone says about the manual being pants but the unit is quality. Me thinks I might pick one up this week after watching your video. It's people like you that help the world go round. Thanks for your time and effort.
G.H.T. if you have been waiting for a while and really need something then get it but if you can wait a year or two I'd wait. Roland recently released a lot of gear but nothing like this so it may come later and also this one is years old now from Yamaha so it's your choice
I will check that out. You are the first to let me know about this new one. I've just been super busy and the Yamaha is great so I haven't had the need to look for something else yet.
If you have the manual, just look for assigning your own samples to pads. It's very easy. First you need to make sure they are recorded in the right format for the machine to be able to pick it up and see it in the USB drive. Make sure you import sounds into the machine first. Click on KIT > and you can pretty much change everything by using the arrows left right and plus minus I hope this helps.
The record option is very easy if you look in the manual. I did it almost first when I got the machine. Basically it all depends on how you want to record. Via mic, plug it in and record. Via keyboard, plug outputs and inputs and hit record on DTX and play sound on keyboard. From computer just use USB. Putting new beats is just the same as putting any new sound. U load it onto your USB stick and import to the DTX (look at page 25 of the manual)
Yes that's possible too.. and if you don't know how to set it up, always check out other sound sets they have on the DTX to see how they've done it and go from there. I would even copy it to a new channel and start changing sounds to what I like.
Yeah this device can do patterns (loops) but not long samples. I thing one way to resolve that (which I haven't tried) is to use Layers. You can play a pad and trigger the next layer on it to start when the first one ends and so on. So that if you have four 10 second sounds layered into A B C and D on pad 8 for example, you can hit that pad once and it will play all 4 layers giving you 40 seconds. I don't know if it will have any delay and how smooth it will be but give that a try & let us know.
Well to be honest I've tried that when I first got this machine and I didn't use a CD and plugged it through usb and not midi. I believe I changed/mapped it onto Cuebase5 to record at the time so just make sure your settings are correct. If this doesn't help, let me know. Sorry for the delay in responding.
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm trying to use the DTX Multi 12 as a tone generator with cubase. How can I route MIDI data from cubase to a drum kit? GM works on MIDI Port 1. What are the other 2 ports for?
hello friend I recommend the yamaha dtx multi 12 or roland spd sx esq me want to buy one but do not know which is the best and another question on yamaha Multisampling do???
Haven't experience anything with the SPD SX yet but I don't recall seeing anything like this on the DTX. You can manipulate the on-board sounds on the device itself and that's about it.
the new Roland SPD-SX, what's your impression? I already had de SPDS and is sounded good but the memory handling, and the interface was awful. the price it is also a diference almost twice as expensive then the DTX.
@dachhh you pretty much answered your own question. Yes as far as I know it would be in half the way you mentioned it here because I have some that start from 0-95 and 95-127 but other pads that are similar to what you wrote and it works well (such as cymbol crash and base drum at the same time)
I am having trouble layering sounds on a single pad. In your video when you are assigning voices to different layers (A-D) I can't see exactly what you are doing on the screen. The manual shows that you have the option to change the midi note on the top row of the VOICE setting when layering but my pad does no such thing. I love this post but is there any way you could do a video (or someone else??) where you show how to layer voices simultaneously by videoing the dtx screen. Thank you.
when you overlap the velocity ranges, is there a crossfading in volume? for instance, if you have a snare with velocity 0-80 and a harder sample 70-127, what is the volume for each when you strike it at 75 ?
Hmm.. that's a good questions and sorry to say I haven't actually done that before but if I remember, I will give that a try once I got my new pc (hopefully next couple of months) and if you do it before me, share your answer here please.
@ozgurbagiran The user kits start after 50 I believe (can't remember & it's not in front of me now). It should say U### and that's where you can load up your kits without overwriting anything and just go to the next one to add more and so on. I have all my sounds on a usb and loaded it onto the system so I won't need the usb (especially in case I forgot it), then I go to the user presets which are empty and start putting my sounds onto each pad (up to 4 sounds per pad). I hope this helps.
To be honest, I haven't used patterns much (which i should) but with sounds, I always have to go and change to ch10 from the midi (above voice) and sometimes even the tune to have the sound actually play so that might be the same here.. give it a try and let me & others know if you've got it
Since I don't have this machine (htinking about it!) I didn't really follow this tutorial, but it sounds horribly complicated. How is it to work through the menus if you are digging deep into velocity layering and midi setup ?
thanks for the video, that helped a lot. I have a question: I got my pads to recognize two different sounds but I'm only seeing the midi note numbers ('C1/ 36') and can't access the menus in the same way as the voice. I'm trying to layer steel pan and marimba over one another at the same pitches inside a diatonic scale. Can you tell me how to get to the menu similar to what's on voices? It looks like you were accessing that when you created your layers.
Trying to merge 2 user patterns together from 2 user kits. I find the rhythms merge but I am only getting the sounds of 1 user kit for all the merged sounds. Any suggestions????
Hello there! I see you have got lots of experience with this machine…and wanted to ask, regarding the yamaha multi 12: can I change patterns from different kits on real time, with different tempos? and also how can I set the ''play'' and ''stop'' for patterns to one built-in trigger. example: trigger number 1 is my play button. Trigger number 2 take me right away to a different pattern, with no stops. is this possible ? Many thanks!
I'm having problems making a loop (an imported wave) to stop. could you please help me with that. Basically I just want to make de wave stop by hitting the same, or another pad
Hi Eddie, my band purchased this to play long samples (one minute long sometimes) and to play song sequences (click for drummer and samples for the PA). Did we buy the wrong piece of gear? From what I've read in the manual samples cant be longer than 23 seconds and there's no sequencer...
Can I sample in any kind of sounds? like something I recorded on guitar and assign them to a pad like the spds? Ive read that you can and some say you cant
sorry not speak very good English. I wanted to ask about the metronome of the dtx m12. respect to TAP works? and if you can save different tempos in the ROM memory and then switch from one to another? had any problems or performance? I'm about to buy one of these but I could not test thank you very much and apologize for the inconvenience.
hi .. just want to ask .. in spd-sx .. we can assign the click to just come out thru headphones output and not at L and R output .. do this yamaha multi-12 has the same function too? if got then i totally going to get it ...
Thank you very much.. If you give me a song sample I may be able to play along with it but even though I'm not Indian, this can be easily used with any music.
Digital vs acoustic drums.10 year's later. Digital 's had three sets , ban .....acoustic upgrades....with bass pedals only.....( cymbals are super .acoustic drums are solids
Hello Eddie, Thanks for detailed video.Couple of questions - 1) Do you know how to set a shaker delay, for example - I have a song where I don't want to play the shaker continuously but play it once ,, so that it can prolong for sometime.After sometime its fades out and i hit again - I believe there should be a delay set and I remember the similar functionality in SPD 20 .Can you help to figure this out 2) Also , some of my tones which I set in kit doesn't have a sharp or clear , meaning it sets with lot of reverb by default.So when I play in a live, The sounds were not great, did you experience a similar thing Appreciate your help -rc
Thanks for checking the video and to answer your questions: 1- Delay is available when you are on the set you want, tap (kit but it's actually probably under voice), then tap next arrow (+) till you find it. Under one of those for sure. I'm not in front of it right now but that should help. 2 - Are the tones stuff you've imported? It may have these effects already and are just amplified when you're playing them. Also do step 1 above to see if there's any settings that aren't at default but it generally means your sounds have these effects in them. I have ones like that too but my issues where about loudness.
Hey. I bought the Yamaha DTX M12 Also in the foot 100.kik KU unit Where do I connect the bass drum? And is it possible to turn up the volume on a specific pad? Thank you very much for your help
I'm not sure about the one you bought but connect it to the FOOT SW (foot switch) on the back and a special note here, make sure you turn the device after you connected it. Somehow if you connect the cable while it's on or after it's on, the behavior changes to trigger after you release your foot instead of when you press down. The volume can be adjusted from the settings. I think it was VOICE TUNE/OUTPUT section then select the pad and with the < > arrows go > till you see volume and adjust from 0-127. Hope this helps 😊👍
Nice video man! Do you know if there is a way to have an imported sound triggered like a oneshot, but when stuck again it nulls the sound and restarts the sound at the same time? Sorry this is worded badly, if you need me to clarify just let me know.
I think I understand but it's been a while since I did that. I remember looking at an existing pad that does that same thing and using the same settings on my imported sound. I actually believe that is the default to isn't it?
Hey. I bought the Yamaha DTX M12 Also in the foot 100.kik KU unit Where do I connect the bass drum? And is it possible to turn up the volume on a specific pad? Or increase bass volume? Thank you very much for your help
@leoperonoescribo To be honest I haven't really used that button much so I'm not sure if you can save different tempos to the ROM but I think you can save the beat/pattern with different tempos & save that to the memory & the only real info on this is on pages 75 & 86 on the manual. other than that I'd have to try it and see. the only thing that bothers me slightly about the unit is the stick gets stuck in between the middle rows sometimes and i guess that may just be me lol.. but i love the dtx
I really can't work out how to layer voices on any pads. Is there any chance you could perform a step by step in the description or send me? I would really appreciate. As you said the User Manual offers no help.
Sorry, So I mean how do you assign voices to A,B,C & D. I think like you I have just about figured it out. I have seen videos of it being done using the App off an IPAD and its so simple. For me it almost seems like they made it harder than it needed to be. The whole MIDI thing is confusing. Yours is the only video on here that even comes close to showing you how its done.
Nick Hulme well if you are still stuck and I can help further let me know. I was thinking of doing another short video showing the screen only but not sure how soon
hi sir can I know why I can't assign voice for layer B.i have set all the velocity as you mention in video and when hit the pad it's changing from A to B but once I'm in B layer and i press voice still in a voice.
You can also set the Midinote in Stack and Alternate Mode. It trigger all the sounds together (Stack mode) and the sound in the order A->B->C->D in alternate mode. I do have an Yamha DTX multi 12. I'm not very happy with it. The sound output quality is not as good as SPD 20. I didnt try it myself, but i heard guys playing. And also the support is so poor to understand some functionality. The equalizer setting, effect adding, all is little complicated. Basically the base drums lack the punch.
I'm actually not sure about this part but I believe you can or should record what you want onto the computer as wavs and re-import to the dtx that way.
Sorry I just noticed this it went to spam folder. Change tempo speed (assume you mean for kit) Press KIT then < and > buttons till you see tempo and settings are off, or 30 to 300
I didn't reply until I tried it myself but I still haven't so I'm just letting you know that now. Changing pads is easy too but can you be more specific to what you need (2 sounds in one is what I'm getting from you and this video is all about that). Thanks for checking it by the way.
Thanks for the answer, Eddie. I solved my problem by creating a new user kit based on the kit 41 and changing the parameter "MIDI Note page". It works. Thanks for your attention.
Like, If I were to have it as a accessory to a drums set, end a fill and I were to hit a square pad, can it make a large bass frequency and drop hz. Like from 80hz to a steady but semi quick to 20hz sound?
Ok if I understand correctly you want a sound like this on youtube watch?v=pXPfkfv-6Tw and that is basically a sound that you can have just like any other on the device or usb stick and just play it. In my video I show how to layer sounds so you can have that sound and a crash and 2 more sounds triggered with one hit simultaneously or sequentially. Let me know if that helps
Its awkward. you have to hold shift and hit 'Tap' for click temp; otherwise click 'Pattern' and the up arrow^ to change tempo for your pattern. Thats how i worked the 'Click' tempo for a while.
.wav works only and not all types of wav too. Must be saved in a specific way. I looked into the settings for Adobe Audition (is what I used to chop and save my sounds/samples) and it only shows one WAV PCM now but in CS6 or lower I think there were different ones. Try a few and one should work for sure.
مرحبا اخي عمار. تكدر تراسلني اذا تحب بس ايدك بشغله انه الأصوات موجوده كلها عالانترنيت بس دور. اني احذتهم هيج و قسم من اصحابي عازفين اورك يسجلون الك بثواني و انت تقطع بيها مثل ما تريد 👍👍
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop a looping sample by striking the pad that started it. I can only find this option with built patterns. I really need to be able to stop a sample while it's looping. Any ideas?
Great Big House I believe you want to check the Alternate Group or if it's on the same pad just make sure the playing mode is set to the right one (Hold in your case I think).. I hope this helps Pg 62 in manual Playing mode Use this parameter to set Stack, Alternate, or Hold as the playing mode for the pad indicated by 1. stack When Stack mode is selected, all notes assigned to the pad are triggered simultaneously. For example, you can use this mode to produce chords or to trigger multiple preset voices or waves with a single strike. To produce just one sound, select this mode and assign only one voice to the pad. alternate When Alternate mode is selected, the notes assigned to the pad are played individually in turn each time it is struck. For example, you can use this mode to produce a different sound each time you strike the pad. hold When Hold mode is selected, the notes assigned to the pad are alternately turned on and off each time it is struck. If, for example, a sustained sound has been assigned, the first strike of the pad will turn it on, the next strike will turn it off, and so on.
From page 19 in the users manual Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [UTILITY] but- ton to access the Trigger setting area. The Select Trigger Setup page will be displayed. Use the [-/DEC] and [+/INC] buttons to select the “P04: Hand” or “P05: Finger” trigger setup. • Whenever you select a hand-percussion preset kit, the pad sensitivity (i.e., the trigger setup) will automatically change to suit playing by hand. • Very high levels of pad sensitivity are more likely to result in a phenome- non known as crosstalk, where pads other than the one struck trigger sounds due to vibration or interference between pads. • For details on how to configure trigger setups in the Trig
The manual is like most owners manuals, and serves as a reference as to what each function is and how to operate it. Consider a car, you get a manual with it, but nowhere in there does it tell you how to drive! Seriously, the video is very good, thanks for posting. The reason you don't see "B-D" for the first notes is they are in (parentheses) and are for external sounds outside the GM range - the internal voices are from C#-1/13 - A#5/94. TEMPO can be stored for each KIT with 200 user kits!
Cheers Eddie, been thinking of buying one of these for a while, been put off by what everyone says about the manual being pants but the unit is quality. Me thinks I might pick one up this week after watching your video. It's people like you that help the world go round. Thanks for your time and effort.
G.H.T. if you have been waiting for a while and really need something then get it but if you can wait a year or two I'd wait. Roland recently released a lot of gear but nothing like this so it may come later and also this one is years old now from Yamaha so it's your choice
I will check that out. You are the first to let me know about this new one. I've just been super busy and the Yamaha is great so I haven't had the need to look for something else yet.
Yes you can, it's all about how you want to play and what is easier for you. Any sound could be on any pad (4 sounds per pad)
If you have the manual, just look for assigning your own samples to pads. It's very easy.
First you need to make sure they are recorded in the right format for the machine to be able to pick it up and see it in the USB drive. Make sure you import sounds into the machine first.

Putting new beats is just the same as putting any new sound. U load it onto your USB stick and import to the DTX (look at page 25 of the manual)
could you do a full tutorial ? it'll be really useful for beginners like me
thank you
Hi there, do you mean showing the screen? This video does go in detail but I've been thinking of redoing it anyways.
Yes that's possible too.. and if you don't know how to set it up, always check out other sound sets they have on the DTX to see how they've done it and go from there. I would even copy it to a new channel and start changing sounds to what I like.

thank u friend for the video.....BUT plz suggest how to put on the new beats .and how to use the record option in the multi 12 pad
Great video I am having problems hooking up a high hat controller to the dtx think you can help me?
Thanks for this info. This feature was one of the reasons I bought the DTX and the Yamaha user manual is totally useless to explain how to set it.
I agree. The marketing team didn't bother with it much. Still is one of the greatest octapads out there too because of that feature.
Thank you for this tutorial!
I'm trying to use the DTX Multi 12 as a tone generator with cubase. How can I route MIDI data from cubase to a drum kit? GM works on MIDI Port 1. What are the other 2 ports for?
Please upload tutorial..how to use in live..indian music..etc. This is great vdo

@dachhh Its actually not complicated.. all new machines and devices take some time to figure out just like phones and what not.. i do recommend it
Good Video. Can you do a video on making customs kits?
It's actually been on my mind so subscribe (and hit the bell icon) and you'll know when it's released hopefully in the next few weeks or less.
when you overlap the velocity ranges, is there a crossfading in volume? for instance, if you have a snare with velocity 0-80 and a harder sample 70-127, what is the volume for each when you strike it at 75 ?
Hmm.. that's a good questions and sorry to say I haven't actually done that before but if I remember, I will give that a try once I got my new pc (hopefully next couple of months) and if you do it before me, share your answer here please.
@ozgurbagiran The user kits start after 50 I believe (can't remember & it's not in front of me now). It should say U### and that's where you can load up your kits without overwriting anything and just go to the next one to add more and so on.
I have all my sounds on a usb and loaded it onto the system so I won't need the usb (especially in case I forgot it), then I go to the user presets which are empty and start putting my sounds onto each pad (up to 4 sounds per pad). I hope this helps.

I'm trying to layer steel pan and marimba over one another at the same pitches inside a diatonic scale. Can you tell me how to get to the menu similar to what's on voices? It looks like you were accessing that when you created your layers.
Just want to ask. can you put the high hats anywhere on the pad? or even the snare.? ..
no problem. i checked the sx.. still I would go with DTX because Roland haven't changed their new machine enough for me to be able to go back..
Trying to merge 2 user patterns together from 2 user kits. I find the rhythms merge but I am only getting the sounds of 1 user kit for all the merged sounds. Any suggestions????
Hey dude! I need to know whether I can use a foot switch/high hat controller as bass drum trigger or not? If yes can you help out how?
Hello there! I see you have got lots of experience with this machine…and wanted to ask, regarding the yamaha multi 12: can I change patterns from different kits on real time, with different tempos? and also how can I set the ''play'' and ''stop'' for patterns to one built-in trigger. example: trigger number 1 is my play button.

that's great cymbal rolling sound, where did you get that sample?
My guess is you're talking about the intro ones and that's part of the sounds it comes with. I don't remember which one exactly though
Same here...
Thanks for sharing..
hello! which do you prefer the new Roland spd or this yamaha?
I'm having problems making a loop (an imported wave) to stop. could you please help me with that. Basically I just want to make de wave stop by hitting the same, or another pad
Can i change or setup onboard Sounds via Computer like SPD Sx ??
hi! can I add my own sounds??? how?
Thanks for the vid!!!!
so if sounds from say Ableton , Logic Pro , Mixcraft downloaded on my PC i can put them in this machine ?
hi , can u guide me how to erase the self created pattern ???.........
is there real timing available to create pattern?????

had any problems or performance? I'm about to buy one of these but I could not test
thank you very much and apologize for the inconvenience.
@bmaster462 I think I could do that when I get sometime but it is in the manual and if you look, you will find it. I know it could be confusing
hi .. just want to ask .. in spd-sx .. we can assign the click to just come out thru headphones output and not at L and R output .. do this yamaha multi-12 has the same function too? if got then i totally going to get it ...
It's really helpful bro..Ty
Sunny Gera I'm glad I can help. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😀
I have an Alesis controller hooked it to the HH control area in the back. Set the thing for high hat (in the trigger area0 and nothing. Its weird
HELP, how do i put full songs on to the pad ??
it really help me ,but i still need more help with recording and change the pad setting
Sure let's hear more details on what you want and maybe I can help (or people online too)
Thank you very much.. If you give me a song sample I may be able to play along with it but even though I'm not Indian, this can be easily used with any music.
Digital vs acoustic drums.10 year's later. Digital 's had three sets , ban .....acoustic upgrades....with bass pedals only.....( cymbals are super .acoustic drums are solids
Is there a tempo control on this unit?
i actually havent tried to do that sorry
what do you mean by real timing?
Can you explain further what you need out of that? I'm confused about your Q
Try plugging it in when the device is off (after you've done your setup), then turn it on and see if it works.
To be honest, I haven't used it for that yet so I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't help much but I will look into it for future videos.
Hello Eddie, Thanks for detailed video.Couple of questions -

Use a USB. It's very easy. The manual is easy to understand so look into that first instead of me writing what's in it here.
What is the duration of the loop?
How long is the loop?
Hey.
I bought the Yamaha DTX M12
Also in the foot 100.kik KU unit
Where do I connect the bass drum?
And is it possible to turn up the volume on a specific pad?
Thank you very much for your help

I think I understand but it's been a while since I did that. I remember looking at an existing pad that does that same thing and using the same settings on my imported sound.
I actually believe that is the default to isn't it?
+Eddie - E11World For me it will play the sound from start to finish making the sounds kind of "pile up" on each other
Ok well like I said. Look at an existing pad and copy over the settings
Hey.
I bought the Yamaha DTX M12
Also in the foot 100.kik KU unit
Where do I connect the bass drum?
And is it possible to turn up the volume on a specific pad?
Or increase bass volume?
Thank you very much for your help
Sorry I just noticed this and other un-answered comments. Do you still need help?
HI dude
how to set layer in a perticular pad
for example ABCD in single pad
what's your problem with it?
Thank you~!!
If you mean for patterns? Yes
thank you
@ramchargertorque Sorry for late replay.. You can record anything as long as its right format for the device
@leoperonoescribo To be honest I haven't really used that button much so I'm not sure if you can save different tempos to the ROM but I think you can save the beat/pattern with different tempos & save that to the memory & the only real info on this is on pages 75 & 86 on the manual. other than that I'd have to try it and see.
the only thing that bothers me slightly about the unit is the stick gets stuck in between the middle rows sometimes and i guess that may just be me lol.. but i love the dtx
I really can't work out how to layer voices on any pads. Is there any chance you could perform a step by step in the description or send me? I would really appreciate. As you said the User Manual offers no help.
Nick Hulme can you be more specific because this video explains what you asked so maybe follow carefully and see if it helps you
Sorry, So I mean how do you assign voices to A,B,C & D. I think like you I have just about figured it out. I have seen videos of it being done using the App off an IPAD and its so simple. For me it almost seems like they made it harder than it needed to be. The whole MIDI thing is confusing. Yours is the only video on here that even comes close to showing you how its done.
Nick Hulme well if you are still stuck and I can help further let me know. I was thinking of doing another short video showing the screen only but not sure how soon
Hi Eddie! Pls help me how to exchange the pads.
I need the kick drum to my right hand. I have no idea how to do it.
pls someone help.
Look for Exchange Pads in the page settings for the kit you want.
Thanks
Thank you for watching 👍
hi sir can I know why I can't assign voice for layer B.i have set all the velocity as you mention in video and when hit the pad it's changing from A to B but once I'm in B layer and i press voice still in a voice.
+Tweakv v Not sure if I get what you mean. You need to assign the note part of A & B to get the sound working (not duplicate though). Does this help?
💐💐p
@ramchargertorque as long as its the right format, it should work
thanks a lot really appreciate.
rohit sarkari I'm glad I can help
You can also set the Midinote in Stack and Alternate Mode. It trigger all the sounds together (Stack mode) and the sound in the order A->B->C->D in alternate mode.
I do have an Yamha DTX multi 12. I'm not very happy with it. The sound output quality is not as good as SPD 20. I didnt try it myself, but i heard guys playing. And also the support is so poor to understand some functionality. The equalizer setting, effect adding, all is little complicated. Basically the base drums lack the punch.
Can we import tones from ROLAND Spd 20 to multi 12 via midi cable ????
I'm actually not sure about this part but I believe you can or should record what you want onto the computer as wavs and re-import to the dtx that way.
@shaivaldesai If you buy the right one, you can
Which buttons should be pressed to change the speed of the tempo
Sorry I just noticed this it went to spam folder. Change tempo speed (assume you mean for kit) Press KIT then < and > buttons till you see tempo and settings are off, or 30 to 300
Hi, Eddie. I need to play a Db in a Bell (kit 41). How to change a especific pad? Is it possible? Thanks.
I didn't reply until I tried it myself but I still haven't so I'm just letting you know that now. Changing pads is easy too but can you be more specific to what you need (2 sounds in one is what I'm getting from you and this video is all about that). Thanks for checking it by the way.
Thanks for the answer, Eddie. I solved my problem by creating a new user kit based on the kit 41 and changing the parameter "MIDI Note page". It works. Thanks for your attention.
That's great to hear and I appreciate you replying back with the answer to help everyone else as well :)
@beakereric I think I may be doing more tuts on things I learned on my own with this device soon. Thanks for watching my vid
I'm not really sure I understand what you're saying?
I don't own SPD-SX but they both have good things and it depends how and what you use it for.
hai sir i am rijgu
plese tell me how to use a temo at wave loops
i dont tempo reduse in wave loops
thanks
rijju khan same prblm here
I will post a video tutorial next month "maybe" for how to do that depending on requests
What if i want to turn on muted/unmuted layers for hand playing ..?
I will try and get another new tutorial series for this.
Can you do bass drops with it?
Not really understanding your question. Can you be more specific?
Like, If I were to have it as a accessory to a drums set, end a fill and I were to hit a square pad, can it make a large bass frequency and drop hz. Like from 80hz to a steady but semi quick to 20hz sound?
Ok if I understand correctly you want a sound like this on youtube watch?v=pXPfkfv-6Tw and that is basically a sound that you can have just like any other on the device or usb stick and just play it. In my video I show how to layer sounds so you can have that sound and a crash and 2 more sounds triggered with one hit simultaneously or sequentially. Let me know if that helps
Yup! Thanks!
Now they have a app for the tablet makes it easy to control the Dtx
Actually they had this at least 2 or 3 years ago but only for iOS so it sucks. They haven't even done one for Android yet which is BS
Its awkward. you have to hold shift and hit 'Tap' for click temp; otherwise click 'Pattern' and the up arrow^ to change tempo for your pattern. Thats how i worked the 'Click' tempo for a while.
@Joe97Gatenby I don't think you can do that because of length issues. This machine is not to do that anyway so why are you trying to do that?
hey man... i just want to ask you if you whee able to import .aiff or .wav files into the yamaha pad!!! thanks
.wav works only and not all types of wav too. Must be saved in a specific way. I looked into the settings for Adobe Audition (is what I used to chop and save my sounds/samples) and it only shows one WAV PCM now but in CS6 or lower I think there were different ones. Try a few and one should work for sure.
in some of my patch i have only layer A
alone
حبيبي ايدي، ممكن الاتصال بك؟ احتاج اصوات عربية، عراقية، اثورية للياماها Multipad

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop a looping sample by striking the pad that started it. I can only find this option with built patterns. I really need to be able to stop a sample while it's looping. Any ideas?
Great Big House I believe you want to check the Alternate Group or if it's on the same pad just make sure the playing mode is set to the right one (Hold in your case I think).. I hope this helps
Pg 62 in manual
Playing mode
Use this parameter to set Stack, Alternate, or Hold as the playing
mode for the pad indicated by 1.
stack
When Stack mode is selected, all notes assigned
to the pad are triggered simultaneously. For
example, you can use this mode to produce
chords or to trigger multiple preset voices or
waves with a single strike. To produce just one
sound, select this mode and assign only one
voice to the pad.
alternate
When Alternate mode is selected, the notes
assigned to the pad are played individually in
turn each time it is struck. For example, you can
use this mode to produce a different sound each
time you strike the pad.
hold
When Hold mode is selected, the notes assigned
to the pad are alternately turned on and off each
time it is struck. If, for example, a sustained
sound has been assigned, the first strike of the
pad will turn it on, the next strike will turn it off,
and so on.
How to set hand percussion in this pad....
From page 19 in the users manual
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [UTILITY] but-
ton to access the Trigger setting area. The Select Trigger
Setup page will be displayed.
Use the [-/DEC] and [+/INC] buttons to select the “P04:
Hand” or “P05: Finger” trigger setup.
• Whenever you select a hand-percussion preset kit, the pad sensitivity (i.e.,
the trigger setup) will automatically change to suit playing by hand.
• Very high levels of pad sensitivity are more likely to result in a phenome-
non known as crosstalk, where pads other than the one struck trigger
sounds due to vibration or interference between pads.
• For details on how to configure trigger setups in the Trig
can it work with any daw
+Shivanand Gunness I actually haven't tried this yet but I will some time later this year. It probably will work midi
+Eddie - E11World ok
Yes it does....unless your DAW is older than the DTXMulti-12!!!
like fl studio 12
I don't see why not but again I haven't tried it myself. It'll be interesting to know so be sure to let us know the results if you do it first.
Thank you for watching the video. I will actually make more of these as I have time so subscribe and share please :)
