The High-Quality Tone Generator and Superb Operability of the DTX900(M)

In addition to a collection of essential Yamaha acoustic drum sounds, the DTX900(M) also features a broad spectrum of voices taken from the world-renowned MOTIF series synthesizers for a grand total of 1326 voices. Even on a live stage, these subtle yet dynamic voices bring forth a compelling presence.- The XA (Expanded Articulation) System, which creates subtly different samples even when you strike the drum with the same strength, can create more natural snare rolls and re-create the feel of a legato ride cymbal or staccato hi-hat.- Equipped with rich and powerful DSP effects. In addition to reverb and chorus effects that can be used commonly throughout the whole system, there are various effects that can be used on each drum kit to bring out the perfect sound which you need.- Internal recordings of 87 songs from a wide variety of genres. You can mute the drum part and play along with a song, and you can also record your own performance.- Equipped with a chain function that enables you to program drum kits freely in any order that you please. Even during a live performance, you can switch to another drum kit easily just by hitting a pad.

Realistic Cymbals and Durable Kick Pads

Uses the vertically mobile RHH135 hi-hat pad. This pad is incredibly quiet, and its pedal has a natural feel. You can control different sounds with the pad and edge areas, and foot splashing is supported. The HS740A hi-hat stand is included.- There are two cymbal pads, the 15-inch PCY155, and the 13-inch PCY135. They both have three zones, the pad, edge, and cup. Each zone produces a different sound. Because sticks bounce and vibrate on these pads in almost the exact same way that they do on real cymbals, you’ll get that same feeling that you do playing on an acoustic drum set. Also, you can choke the cymbal pads by grabbing their edges after you hit them.- Uses the KP125W kick pads, which guarantee stable play even when you are using double foot pedals. A protective sheet that covers the entire drum head makes each kick pad powerfully durable.

Add Original Sounds through Sampling

Customization Enables You to Create Your Ideal Drum Sound

Versatile Trigger Features

Rich Training Features for Improving Your Performance Skills

In addition, Steinberg Cubase AI 5 is included. You can use it to change the tempo, timing, tone, etc., of the performances that you make MIDI recordings of. By using HALion One and third-party VST plugins, you can use not just drum sounds, but other sounds that are not included in the DTX900. You can use the DTX900 panel switches to control Cubase AI 5. This allows for faster music creation.*

You can use the six INDIVIDUAL OUT connectors to send the snare, tom, and other drum sounds to the mixer individually. You can record to a multi-track record easily without using the complicated miking that you would need to record from an acoustic drum set. Also, you can use the DIGITAL OUT (S/P DIF) connector to send digital-quality sound from the DTX900 to an external device.
