  • Page 7 When you hit a pad or a drum with a trigger microphone or sensor connected, a trigger signal is sent to the tone generator section of the DTXTREME and a sound is output. Up to six voices can be output for each trigger signal, meaning that it’s possible to play a chord or a variety of different sounds from a single pad hit.
  • Page 8 With the Chain feature, you can line up a series of different drum kits and call them up in order during a performance. This can be useful when playing live. Furthermore, aside from its drum voices, the DTXTREME also has a variety of 128 keyboard voices which can be used in DTXTREME songs as melody or accompaniment instruments.
