Yamaha DTX700 Reference Manual
The Yamaha DTX700 Reference Manual provides an in-depth look at the internal design of the DTX700 electronic drum module. It details how trigger signals are generated when pads are struck and how these signals are processed by the internal tone generator to output sound. The document explains the concept of 'zones' on pads and how multi-zone pads can produce different trigger signals based on where they are hit.
The manual covers the configuration of drum kits and voices, explaining how users can assign specific sounds to trigger input sources. It describes the relationship between pads, trigger input jacks, and the voices or songs played. Additionally, it introduces the concept of 'trigger setups' used to optimize signal processing and prevent issues like double triggering or crosstalk.
