DXT2SU sampling module
The module is packed with 2,171 high quality drum voices, so that no
matter what kind of musical situation you're in you'll have the sounds
you need. Want more? The module has sampling capabilities, meaning
that you can record any sound you want directly into the module,
save it on a SmartMedia card, and load it into a kit. The module
even comes with a CD-ROM with samples on it that you can load into
your computer and dump into the module via the USB port in the back.
You can plug up to 16 pads into the DXT2SU module. Inputs 1-8 accept
3 zone pads, 9/10-15/16 allow you to hook up two pads to each input
using a stereo splitter. There are six fader controls on the face
of the module for quick adjustments in volume for the kick, snare,
toms, hi-hat and misc. percussion voices.
130 drum kits
With 90 factory-programmed kits you will have a kit suitable for virtually
any musical situation. For special projects, there are 40 user programmable
kits that you can build using any combination of factory voices,
loops, sequences, or your own samples. Once you've programmed your
custom kits, you can store them on SmartMedia cards. This gives you
the ability to create an entire library of custom kits that you can
take with you and install in another DXT2SU or swap custom kits with
other drummers.
Play along with the 101 pre set songs or your favorite music
There are 101 songs covering many musical styles that are great for
developing your ability to play in any musical situation. Play along
with the pre-recorded drum track, or mute the drums and play along
with the rhythm and melody tracks. This is a great tool for developing
your groove and the nuances of playing different musical styles.
You can plug your MP3 or CD player into the auxiliary input and play
along with your favorite pre- recorded music. You can also record
your playing with the internal sequencer (up to 32 songs) to analyze
your playing, or use these songs/sequences as part of a live performance.
You can access the 128 General MIDI voices right from the pads and
write songs in real time without the need for an external controller.
These songs (up to four per kit) can be assigned to start and stop
from any pad on the kit.
3 Zone pads with on-board controller
The TP120SD snare and TP100 tom pads are 3 zone rubber pads that feel
very close to an acoustic drum. All of the nuances of your playing
will come through due to the wide dynamic range of the pads. Each
pad has an on-board controller knob that allows you to adjust snare
tension, pitch (toms), change voices, or several other parameters
from the pad without having to access the module.
Realistic feeling cymbal pads
The PCY150S ride, PCY130S 2-zone crash, PCY130 mono crash, and RHH130
hi-hat pad are covered with a newly formulated rubber that has great
stick response and wide dynamic sensitivity. They are shaped like
acoustic cymbals and are mounted on genuine Yamaha cymbal hardware
so that they move with your playing just like real cymbals. The PCY150S
and PCY130S also have choking ability when you grab the edge. The
RHH130 mounts to a regular hi-hat stand (included) so that it feels
like the real thing. You can do heel splashes, "barks",
and open/closed, and everything in between.
KP65 Kick Tower
The KP65 kick tower has already proven to be a reliable, natural feeling
kick trigger. The large striking surface "gives" like an
acoustic bass drum head and the KP65 will accommodate a double pedal.
Groove Check
Engage the Groove Check feature while using the click or while playing
a song and DXTIIS will show your beat placement accuracy. It indicates
if you are ahead of, behind, or right on the beat and shows any fluctuation
in your playing accuracy up to 1/96 of a quarter note.
MIDI IN/OUT, TO Host Jacks
You can access the 125 General MIDI voices from a controller or transmit
other MIDI information between the DXTIIS and any other MIDI device
via the MIDI IN/OUT. You can transmit MIDI data to and from your
computer via the USB port to edit and store kits, sequences or samples
on your computer.
Six individual outputs
The DXT2SU has six assignable individual outputs, so you can have total
control over the final mix of the kit in live or studio situations.
Digital Output
The digital output located on the back panel connects to any audio
device with a coaxial type cable input. This output sends a digital
stereo signal that is the same as delivered by the OUTPUT (L/MONO,
R) jacks.
Genuine Yamaha hardware
The tom ball clamps, cymbal booms, hi-hat stand, and snare stand included
with the DXTIIS are genuine Yamaha hardware manufactured in the Yamaha
motorcycle factory. This guarantees durability and functionality
un-matched on any electronic drum kit.
