Yamaha DTX-Multi12 Drums Tips by Eddie11 (E11World)

Trying to merge 2 user patterns together from 2 user kits. I find the rhythms merge but I am only getting the sounds of 1 user kit for all the merged sounds. Any suggestions????

[Joe97Gatenby]

HELP, how do i put full songs on to the pad ??

[soccere11]

@Joe97Gatenby I don't think you can do that because of length issues. This machine is not to do that anyway so why are you trying to do that?

[Joe97Gatenby]

@soccere11 Just tryin to put a set togeather with some to play along with Thanks anyway :)

I am having trouble layering sounds on a single pad. In your video when you are assigning voices to different layers (A-D) I can't see exactly what you are doing on the screen. The manual shows that you have the option to change the midi note on the top row of the VOICE setting when layering but my pad does no such thing. I love this post but is there any way you could do a video (or someone else??) where you show how to layer voices simultaneously by videoing the dtx screen. Thank you.

[soccere11]

@bmaster462 I think I could do that when I get sometime but it is in the manual and if you look, you will find it. I know it could be confusing

Hey dude! I need to know whether I can use a foot switch/high hat controller as bass drum trigger or not? If yes can you help out how?

[soccere11]

@shaivaldesai If you buy the right one, you can

[ramchargertorque]

Can I sample in any kind of sounds? like something I recorded on guitar and assign them to a pad like the spds? Ive read that you can and some say you cant

[soccere11]

@ramchargertorque as long as its the right format, it should work

[soccere11]

@ramchargertorque Sorry  for late replay.. You can record anything as long as its right format for the device

Since I don't have this machine (htinking about it!) I didn't really follow this tutorial, but it sounds horribly complicated. How is it to work through the menus if you are digging deep into velocity layering and midi setup ?

[soccere11]

@dachhh Its actually not complicated.. all new machines and devices take some time to figure out just like phones and what not.. i do recommend it

[dachhh]

when you overlap the velocity ranges, is there a crossfading in volume? for instance, if you have a snare with velocity 0-80 and a harder sample 70-127, what is the volume for each when you strike it at 75 ?

[soccere11]

@dachhh you pretty much answered your own question. Yes as far as I know it would be in half the way you mentioned it here because I have some that start from 0-95 and 95-127 but other pads that are similar to what you wrote and it works well (such as cymbol crash and base drum at the same time)

[yamahadrumguy]

The manual is like most owners manuals, and serves as a reference as to what each function is and how to operate it. Consider a car, you get a manual with it, but nowhere in there does it tell you how to drive! Seriously, the video is very good, thanks for posting. The reason you don't see "B-D" for the first notes is they are in (parentheses) and are for external sounds outside the GM range - the internal voices are from C#-1/13 - A#5/94. TEMPO can be stored for each KIT with 200 user kits!

Thank you~!!



[leavnsmallville78]

thanks for the video, that helped a lot. I have a question: I got my pads to recognize two different sounds but I'm only seeing the midi note numbers ('C1/ 36') and can't access the menus in the same way as the voice. I'm trying to layer steel pan and marimba over one another at the same pitches inside a diatonic scale. Can you tell me how to get to the menu similar to what's on voices? It looks like you were accessing that when you created your layers.

[leoperonoescribo]

sorry not speak very good English. I wanted to ask about the metronome of the dtx m12. respect to TAP works? and if you can save different tempos in the ROM memory and then switch from one to another?

had any problems or performance? I'm about to buy one of these but I could not test

thank you very much and apologize for the inconvenience.

[soccere11]

@leoperonoescribo To be honest I haven't really used that button much so I'm not sure if you can save different tempos to the ROM but I think you can save the beat/pattern with different tempos & save that to the memory & the only real info on this is on pages 75 & 86 on the manual. other than that I'd have to try it and see.

the only thing that bothers me slightly about the unit is the stick gets stuck in between the middle rows sometimes and i guess that may just be me lol.. but i love the dtx

[ozgurbagiran]

hey there,

I have a question. Do you know how to load more drumkits into the userkits. if I want to load a another drumkit the first drumkit will be overwritten. please let me know

[soccere11]

@ozgurbagiran The user kits start after 50 I believe (can't remember & it's not in front of me now). It should say U### and that's where you can load up your kits without overwriting anything and just go to the next one to add more and so on.

I have all my sounds on a usb and loaded it onto the system so I won't need the usb (especially in case I forgot it), then I go to the user presets which are empty and start putting my sounds onto each pad (up to 4 sounds per pad). I hope this helps.

[beakereric]

Thanks for the info! The manual really sucks.. Yamaha! Not everybody is a hacker!!

[soccere11]

@beakereric I think I may be doing more tuts on things I learned on my own with this device soon. Thanks for watching my vid
