Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads use a foam silicone material that contains numerous air bubbles, providing accurate firmness and rebound. The air bubbles inside serve as a cushion, softening the impact sound and reducing strain on wrists and elbows.

The Fader select knob allows you to quickly change the functionality of the LED rotary faders.

Yamaha DTX-PROX AUX Inputs

The DTX-PROX Drum Module has 2 AUX inputs, one on the back panel (6.35mm) and one on the front panel (3.5mm). All stereo Jacks can be routed to different locations or outputs depending on the module. They can be used by the drummer as a monitor mix output or can be routed to just the headphones

DTX-ProX Individual Output Channels

The DTX-PROX is equipped with 8 individual outputs and a matrix that allows routing to any output. When recording or performing live this routing capability is perfect for complete control over the sound and balance of the individual drums.

Yamaha DTX10K-X Brand New DTX Sounds

The sounds for the DTX-PROX Module have been recorded in some of the best studios in Europe. Great care has been taken to record each sound from the initial stick impact to the last usable vibration. As well as the direct microphone sounds from the drums and cymbals themselves, the sounds of the instruments in the studios themselves were also captured. There are more sounds present in the Yamaha DTX-PROX Module than in the DTX-PRO, the resolution of the crash, ride and hi hat samples is also higher, meaning there are more dynamic layers allowing for a more natural playing experience

Yamaha DTX10K-X Triggering and FX

The DTX10 is much faster to trigger than previous DTX models this makes them feel much more natural to play. The DTX-PRO Module also has 256 polyphony, meaning they can play more notes at the same time.

The transient adjustment adjusts the attack and release of the sound, effectively making the instrument sound closer or farther away depending on the settings. Each channel has compression in addition to the compressor modifier. 31 effects can be assigned to each individual channel making each channel a bit different.

Yamaha DTX10K-X Kit Modifiers

The Kit modifier knobs are unique to Yamaha. They allows the user to instantly change the sound by affecting the ambience, compression and effects. You can also see how much each modifiers being used and adjust it in real time.

The ambience Modifier works by adding real room ambience onto the kit sound. When the drumkits were recorded they also took the time to record and sample the actual room sound. You can add this natural ambience onto the drum kit by turning the ambience modifier.

The compression modifier works by adding compression onto the whole kit, a small amount of compression can help to bring the whole kit sound together. More compression adds attack and smack to the sound to give it a more aggressive sound.

The effects modifier works by controlling how much you hear the 2 effects processors as well as the master FX. Each pad can send different amounts of signal to either processor meaning each pad can have different effects on it if required.

Yamaha DTX10K-X Ride Hit Point detection

The Ride Cymbal On the DTX10 have hit point detection or positional sensing, this means it can sense where on the bow it is being played and adjusts the sound being played accordingly, allowing for a more natural playing experience. this is in addition to the 3 zone sensing - Bell, bow, Edge.

Yamaha DTX10K-X USER SAMPLES

You can load up to 1000 of your own samples into the DTX-PRO and PROX Modules.

Yamaha DTX10K-X LAYERING

Every zone of every pad of the DTX 8 and 10 kits can have 4 layers. Each layer can be an internal sound or a user sample. These sounds can be stacked together or alternated - each time the zone is hit, the next sound in the list is heard. This is a function called Stack/Alt

Yamaha DTX10K-X USER VOICES

The DTX-PRO and PROX Modules have a feature called User Voice which works in parallel with Stack/Alt. This means that up to 40 samples can be loaded onto any zone of any pad. These samples can then be set to play at different dynamics. You could load up to 120 samples per pad - 10 layers and 4 repeating samples on each zone.

Yamaha DTX10K-X Record Via USB
