Yamaha DTXtreme III drum module

Yamaha enlisted the help of several drum artists, and looked at the requests from consumers to make sure that this module meets the needs of e-drummers at all levels. The most important feature in an electronic drum set is the sound. They began by sampling their most popular acoustic drums, the legendary Recording Custom and Maple Custom. Then added the groundbreaking Oak Custom and industry standard Maple, Birch, and Beech Absolute. They then sampled many of their most popular artist snare drums and cymbals from all the major manufacturers. They combined these, along with samples of percussion instruments from around the world and dozens of special effects to create 50 pre-programmed kits.

When you want to customize your sound, you can take any of over 1,000 internal drum, percussion, special effects voices and loops to create up to fifty user kits. Insert a USB stick and you can save another 1,584 kits. Taking it even further, you can assign any MIDI channel to each pad, giving you access to over 200 melodic GM voices that you can trigger from any pad. With the optional DIMM, you have 512mb of sampling memory allowing an additional 1,016 user voices.

There are 15 trigger inputs, 14 of which will accept three-zone pads. Input 10/11 is able to accept two mono pads by using a stereo splitter. For live performance or recording, there is a stereo pair of outputs, or six individual outputs that also function as three stereo pair, and an S/P DIF digital output. The Aux in allows you to plug an external music source in so that you can play along, or lets you sample directly into the module. There is a full-function sample editor so that you can tweak your samples once recorded. The MIDI in/out allow connection to other devices, and the USB and TO Host terminals allow easy connection to a computer. The USB also allows use of a flash drive to store and load user created data such as kits, samples, songs, and click settings.

The DXTIII has a fully programmable metronome on board, and to take your practice to the next level our Groove Check feature shows you if you are playing ahead of, on, or behind the click. An additional feature of the click, the Rhythm Gate, mutes any hit that is not in time. The width of this gate is adjustable and can track all triggers, or your choice of up to five triggers. The Groove Check and Rhythm Gate function with either the click or the internal sequencer.

A perfect companion for your dk10, drumKAT, or trapKAT.
