The DTXM12 Multi Pad features premium quality sounds from the DTXTREME and Motif series. It´s a perfect addition to any kind of acoustic set, but you can play it as stand-alone kit with hihat and kickpad, too. The Digital Percussion Multipad DTX-MULTI 12 from Yamaha is extremely versatile in terms of functions and sound and thus for every style of music a real asset. It can be easily integrated into a variety of areas - whether as an extension to an acoustic drum or percussion setup, as an additional Multi Pad in E-Drum, an allround drum and sample tool in (home) studio or as a stand-alone version, the DTX-MULTI 12 Digital Drum Pad makes in really every situation a good figure.
The DTX-MULTI 12 is equipped with 12 trigger pads, which due to their shape and arrangement, even under bad conditions such as on a dark stage, well distinguished from each other. All functions can be controlled with a clear and simple user interface designed, the backlit LCD display provides information on the settings made. Through various connections, the DTX-MULTI 12 Percussion Pad can be quickly and easily connected to other equipment such as computers and amplifiers.
The user can choose from 12 trigger pads which are equipped with an extremely sensitive and dynamic response. Played with the fingers, sticks or palms/hands, the 12-DTXM sounds like having a natural attack. The DTX-MULTI 12 distinguishes between 3 different graduations: the most sensitive react the pads in the finger mode, the next stage is the hands mode, and the last and least sensitive stage is the Stick mode. By holding down one pad, or alternatively by kicking an optional foot pedal, can also affect the sound. The muting function obtains a muffling the sounds by holding down the pad. You can selected the sounds from a pool of 1061 prerecorded drum and percussion sounds as 216 keyboard sounds. In order to change or adjust the sounds, the user can use numerous effects and save the results for later use comfortably. Due to the robust construction and the rapid modification possibility, the DTXM-12 is also ideal for studio recording or live performances.
In addition to the 12 trigger pads, the DTX-MULTI 12 Percussion Pad provides further options to trigger additional instruments to join. Thus, e.g. a kick pedal and hi-hat controller (not included!) can be connected and the DTX-MULTI 12 pad will function as a stand-alone complete mini kit. Alternatively, the additional ports can be used for various footswitches for example, to switch between drum kits or adjust volume and effect parameters.
Good sturdy construction. Pads are arranged in a handy way. I havent experienced any crosstalk between pads in a very wide dynamic range.
Unit offers deep MIDI capabilities (multilayer triggering, alteration, etc). It allows adjusting trigger parameters (gain, range, crosstalk elimination) and many other. It is really versatile. Though programming is not very user friendly, because of small display and complex menus.
Unfortunately unit is equipped with only 64MB of memory, which prevents uploading of huge sample packs. External storage support is a bit limited.
Additional dual mono inputs handle Roland dual piezo pads (PD-125, PD-128) very well, though they need some crosstalk adjustments due to high responsiveness. Rim needs gain adjustment.
This is a great pad both for beginners and pro drummers! (Although i would not recommend fresh drummers to buy a drum pad. Because they do not get the right technique in their playing)
The sounds in the DTX 12 are great everything from conga to tablas to cymbals sound great, and you can modify the sound exactly the way that you like it.
The handling of the menus can be a bit tricky because of the tiny display, but when you have used it a couple of times theres no problem working with it.
All in all a great pad for a great price!
