Why is only one instrument played when two pads are struck simultaneously on Yamaha DTX-PRO Drums?
- D
  Dean BennettSep 8, 2025
  If only one instrument is played when two pads are struck simultaneously on your Yamaha Drums, ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound, and raise the value of its Gain parameter. From MENU/Trigger/Pad Type/Pad Type, select the pad that is not producing sound, and lower the value of its MinLevel parameter.

What to do if Yamaha DTX-PRO sensitivity is too low during performance?
- M
  Marcus RodriguezAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing low sensitivity (volume) with your Yamaha Drums during performance, consider these points: * Check the direction of the cymbal pad. An improper direction can affect functionality. * Regularly tighten the hi-hat stand shaft to prevent the hi-hat pad from rotating and malfunctioning. * Make sure that the Pad Type parameter is set correctly. * Adjust the trigger output level of pads with a dial if it is too low. * Ensure the slider for the pad is set high enough on the mixer.

  If your Yamaha Drums pads are only producing sounds at very high volumes, ensure that the “Gain” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type is not set too high. Also, adjust the “Velocity Curve” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Curve and check the “TrgVel” setting in MENU/Kit Edit/Kit Modifier/Voice/MessageType. Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha pads.

Why are Yamaha Drums pads producing unintended sounds?
- G
  gregorywhiteAug 30, 2025
  If your Yamaha Drums pads are producing unintended sounds, ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. If an external MIDI device played from the DTX-PRO does not produce the expected sounds, review its voice settings for the MIDI channel on which the DTX-PRO is sending data. Check the crosstalk setting, min level setting and sensitivity setting. Voices assigned to layers B, C, or D may cause unintended sounds. If unexpected sounds are produced when you have connected a two or three-zone pad to any of the [wTOM1/e], [rTOM2/t], [yTOM3/u], [!2KICK/!3], [qSNARE] or [!]4 jacks, set the “Pad Type” parameter to “off” in MENU/Trigger/Pad Type or select the proper pad type in MENU/Trigger/Pad Type.
