What to do if sound is produced without striking the pad on Yamaha Drums?
- M
  marissa45Aug 31, 2025
  If sound is being produced without striking the pad on your Yamaha Drums, crosstalk may be occurring. Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly. Set the “Reject Lvl” parameter from the MENU/Trigger/Crosstalk to an appropriate level. If using a separately-sold pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure that the level has been set appropriately. Ensure that the “Minimum Level” parameter from MENU/Trigger/Pad Type has been set appropriately.

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.

  Gabriella GreenAug 29, 2025
  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.
