Troubleshooting
Symptom
Only one Inst is played
when two pads are
struck simultaneously
Sounds are skipped
during rolls and flams
Cannot choke
Cannot mute
Foot closed hi-hat
sounds cannot be
played
It is difficult to produce
closed hi-hat sounds
Hi-hat splash sounds
are not produced as
intended
Pads with position
sensing do not pro-
duce sounds properly
Reliable trigger signals
cannot be produced
(when using a drum
trigger attached to an
acoustic drum)
Possible cause
• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.
• From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/
Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound,
and raise the value of its Gain parameter.
• From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/
Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound,
and lower the value of its MinLevel parameter.
Reduce the "Reject Time" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad
Type/Pad Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type.
• Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type.
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad.
If the orientation of the pad is set improperly, the cymbal pad
may not function fully.
Shaft on the Hi-hat pad • Make sure that you are fully and firmly operating the hi-hat con-
is loose troller or the hi-hat pedal.
• Lower the setting of the "FootClosePos" parameter in MENU/

• Is the pad type shown by the "Pad Type" parameter in MENU/

• Ensure that hi-hat pad or the hi-hat controller is correctly con-
(DTX-PROX)
nected to the [CONTROL] jack of the PRO series module.
The level settings for
• Putting extra felt under the cymbal pad may result in lower vol-
the pad are improper
ume.
• Ensure that slider on the MIXER screen or the LED rotary fader
for the pad for which a sound is not being produced is set high
enough.
Adjust the "FootSplashSens" parameter from MENU/Utility/Pad.
Hi-hat splash sounds will not be produced if "off" has been set
here.
• Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type.
• Check the orientation of the cymbal pad. When this is not set
properly, the cymbal pad may not be fully functional.
• Make sure to connect the pad to the proper jack that supports
position sensing.
• Select an Inst or a voice that is compatible with position sensing.
For more information, refer to the Data List (PDF).
• Check the "Pad Type" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type.
• Ensure that the "Gain" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type
or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type is not set too high.
• Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha drum
triggers (trigger sensors) or pads. Products from other manufac-
turers can output excessively large signals, which in turn can
result in double triggering.
• Ensure that the heads are not vibrating in an irregular manner,
and mute them if so required.
• Ensure that drum triggers have been installed properly.
• Increase the "Reject Time" parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad
Type or TRIGGER/SETTING/Pad Type. Avoid setting too large a
reject time, as this can make it impossible to accurately detect
flams, rolls, and the like.
• The longer the bass drum sound, the easier it is to cause double
triggers. Adjust the drum so that it produces a shorter sound. Try
muting/tuning the head/changing the head.
