    Producing Sounds with the Pads In order that you can start having fun with your DTX-MULTI 12 as soon as possible, this section will begin by explaining the basic way in which the pads can be played using drum sticks (sold separately), and following that, will show how to select various kits (i.e., sets of pad sounds).
  • Page 17 The term “kit” is used to refer to a collection of sounds (i.e., pre- set voices, waves, and patterns) produced when you strike each of the pads, and the DTX-MULTI 12 comes complete with an impressive range of specially-prepared preset kits. Using the pro- cedure outlined below, select various kits and enjoy some of the stunning sounds that your instrument can produce.
