Yamaha introduces the DTX Touch App for use with DTX6, DTX8 and DTX10 e-drum kits as well as DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX modules. The DTX Touch App makes all settings and parameters accessible from home computers, tablets or smartphones, allowing for very comfortable kit building and customisation. Every aspect of sound design, from basic kit selection to tuning to effects, and every setting for triggers or click can be edited from the device of choice. The DTX Touch App is available for Mac, iOS and Android devices.
Manage your kits: DTX Touch App
With the new Yamaha DTX Touch App, almost everything you can do in the DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX modules is accessible from the comfort of a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The only exception is uploading samples to the device, which requires a USB drive in the module – everything else can now be controlled with the devices of choice. Comfortable control with mouse and keyboard or touchscreens makes all edits easier and quicker, from small adjustments to entirely new setups. The option to search for specific types of drum kits (like “electronic” or “rock”, for example) further improves the data management with the DTX Touch App.
In-depth customisation
The Yamaha DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX modules allow for very deep customisation to achieve the perfect sound for every application and preference. With the DTX Touch App, these customisations can be dialled in more quickly and more precisely. From layering and levelling sounds to tuning or damping instruments to filtering and envelope design – DTX Touch App brings all the parameters to the users’ fingertips. The customisation also encompasses settings for the triggers or setting up the click. The Utility page allows for quick changes to many parameters on a single scrollable page. Creating unique sounds tailored to the specific requirements of every player becomes really easy with the DTX Touch App.
Intuitive control over every aspect
One big advantage of controlling all the parameters through the DTX Touch App is the visual orientation. Trigger curves, EQ settings and transient processing can be aided by the respective visual representation, as it helps make particularly abstract parameters more understandable. Plus, the DTX Touch App also includes the owner’s manuals, reference manuals and data lists for DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX in full, allowing performing artists to always have the manuals in their pockets in case they need to reference a certain aspect.
Save, recall and share kits
The connection between a Yamaha DTX-PRO or DTX-PROX module and a computer, tablet or smartphone also has the added advantage of easily storing kits and setups. Essentially, it is possible to set up all the kits and sounds at home, then come to a venue with a different DTX kit, connect the phone and recall the prepared kits. It is also possible to share these kits with others online, and download their kits. Bring your kit to the concert hall in your pocket, or bring someone else’s kit to your rehearsal room – no problem with the DTX Touch App.
