Yamaha | DTX6, DTX8, DTX-PRO | Adjust Volume of Individual Kit Part

Learn how to adjust the volume of any part of the kit, instrument or voice on the DTX-Pro.
The DTX8 and DTX6 series comes equipped with the DTX-PRO module that possesses the same tone generator as the DTX-PROX module. The DTX-PRO features real sounds and real sampled room ambience recorded in world-renowned studios, KIT MODIFIER knobs that inspire creativity, and hardware that is sturdy and easy to use. This new standard DTX captures the very essence of the flagship model.
The DTX8 series lets drummers choose between two head materials according to their personal preference, for an optimum response when playing. A choice between the original Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) pads or mesh pads with two-ply heads made by Remo.

Another guide video that ends just when the viewer needs the next step explained. An example or two would have been helpful here.

I have had a few months to work with my DTX6KX now and get some production in as I dig deeper into fine tuning of the module to achieve more of what I want from it. Sorting thru the navigation maze each day I get a little more familiar with the workings. Since I have no experience with other E-drum sets I'll hold my criticism of it's short comings. I just want to focus on a current issue that is absolutely causing me insanity. I am currently working on a fairly large production tune that has a wide spectrum of drum parts. I'm satisfied with the pad tones and the snare tone is where I want it. Playing the entire kit is nice and full, but here's where the problem lies. There are four verses to this song and the drum parts written for the verses are played snare & bass drum only in a military-marching band type arrangement and it sounds great. But as simplistic as the snare parts are, they are fairly intricate to the part and the song. Here's my problem...as these parts transition in & out of the verses they go from tap notes to buzz rolls to 32nd straight rolls and so forth. Somewhere within the gain and velocity settings I can get a decent tap note/buzz roll result but when the part transitions dynamically into the straight roll that's where the problem is. The straight roll is played with more power and the notes become a non-distinguishable mess. In using different setting combinations I can get decent straight roll, but that setting then is not conducive to the more subtle tap & buzz roll notes. I would like to think there is a setting within this module that will allow me to achieve this and that I just haven't stumbled onto it yet. I have some user programs I'm really happy with, so I'm not real excited about doing a reset. Otherwise...I'm open for any suggestions. That is at the top of my list...but there is another issue that I have come across that I wanted to ask you about. The snare pad is suppose to have two separate settings, Head & Rim. But I have not been able to get separation in either volume or actual head/rim range. Any thoughts here?

Hi Simon. Does this setting affect instruments on a per-kit basis? If so, is there a global fader/volume setting to affect each individual instrument (say, individual toms or crashes?) so that users can adjust instrument volumes across all kits? (Currently, global faders only affect toms and crashes as groups)

Why does my snare, tom1, tom2 and tom 3 have a delay after 5 minute of me not hitting anything?

[@cSounds49]

Is there any way to make a shortcut to avoid so many menu clicks and to pick a few functions that are used the most. For example, hit a pad, then press a button (with your shortcut or "jump to") and be immediately on the volume control for that sound? Thanks

More revelations...I'm trying to find the video that directly relates to one of my issues...meanwhile I'll keep looking and posting and maybe something will pop up. I have the basic DTX6K-X but it does have the TCS 3-Zone snare pad. I believe this to mean I should have three different zones on the pad which I can create three different settings and parameters for. Although I have been able to identify each of these zones...Head...OP Head/Rim...CL-Rim. When struck, they all sound as designated but I have yet to discover how or where to create the individual parameter setting options. There's a section for rim level and head/rim balance but these have no affect on the pad. Is there some secret switch somewhere I have overlooked that activates this option? It just seems like the further I dig into this enormous MAZE of configurations the more complicated it becomes. I would really like to take advantage of the potential of this unit...but I just want to get some tracks recorded before I DIE! Does it really have to be this complicated?
