With 12 stepped pads, this compact device can be used fo r music composition and recording, to form a compact drum kit, or to be incorporated with acoustic drums to accent different sounds.Sounds and Effects The library of percussion sounds collected by Yamaha' advanced sampling technique total to 1277 voices on the DTX-Multi 12. From DJ sounds to chromatic to folk, any imaginable percussive sound is available. If anything is left desired, you can import WAV and AIFF audio files via the USB port. Manipulate your chosen sounds with delays, phasers, pitch shifts, and flangers. Add reverb or use compression or EQ. There is even a five-band Master EQ that provides even further effect capabilities.Pads and Play Modes Each pad on the Yamaha DTX-Multi 12 can be assigned up to 4 voices. Choose whether to trigger these voices using Stack mode or Alternate mode. In Stack mode, all of the voices are triggered by one simultaneous strike whereas in Alternate mode the individual notes are played consecutively. Make your pads more or less sensitive by altering the play modes. In Stick Mode, the pads have the low velocity sensitivity ideal for playing with a drumstick. Hand Mode or Finger Mode can be used to play without sticks. There is even a Muting Feature which allows for drum mutes, skin bands, and other feel-based adjustments. Expansion Beyond the 12 pads, there is the ability to add 5 external pads for a compact drum set. There is also an input for a foot switch to use a kickpad and a hi-hat controller. Foot triggers can also be used to manipulate volume or effects.Patterns The Yamaha DTX-Multi 12 includes 128 MIDI patterns ranging from house music to classic rock. With this device, it is easy to record your own music as patterns or create patterns on the computer that can then be assigned to the pads. Tap Tempo can be used to set tempo for patterns and click track and is used just by striking the pads.Music Production and Recording This system is designed to connect with a computer via a USB port. This technology helps people who are less adept at MIDI to still use its features. Cubase AI S by Steinberg is a DAW software application that accompanies the DTX-Multi 12. This software greatly improves the ease of music composition with this device.
