From this display, you can set parameters such as Mono/
Poly and Alternate Group. This display consists of two 
pages, which can be called up via the Cursor [N] and [M] 
buttons.

and “MIDI” is selected:
1Mono/Poly
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines the playback of each selected Trigger Input Jack, mono 
or polyphonic. When the SOURCE display is called up, this 
parameter determines the playback of each selected Trigger 
Input Source, mono or polyphonic. 
If “Mono” is selected, hitting the same pad repeatedly in suc-
cession will stop the sound generated by the previous hit, then 
start the same sound again. If “Poly” is selected, this limita-
tion does not apply. 
BAltGroup (Alternate Group)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines the Alternate Group to which each selected Trigger 
Input Jack is assigned. When the SOURCE display is called 
up, this parameter determines the Alternate Group to which 
each selected Trigger Input Source is assigned. 
In a real acoustic drum kit, some drum sounds cannot physi-
cally be played simultaneously, such as open and closed hi-
hats. You can prevent Drum Voices from playing back simulta-
neously by assigning them to the same Alternate Group. Up to 
127 Alternate Groups can be defined. You can also select “off” 
here if you wish to allow the simultaneous playback of sounds.
CRcvKeyOff (Receive Key Off)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines whether or not each selected Trigger Input Jack 
responds to MIDI Note Off messages. When the SOURCE 
display is called up, this parameter determines whether or not 
each selected Trigger Input Source responds to MIDI Note 
Off messages. 
This parameter is normally set to off since the sounds of many 
Drum Voices naturally decay and stop without the need for 
Note Off messages. This parameter should be set to on when 
the current Drum Voice has a sustained, non-decaying sound, 
so that you can stop the sound by sending MIDI note off mes-
sages to the internal tone generator. The timing the MIDI note 
off message is transmitted to the internal tone generator is 
determined by the Gate Time parameter in the STK/ALT dis-
play. You can also use the Hold Mode parameter to control 
MIDI Note Off messages (page 94).

EVelSensDpt (Velocity Sensitivity Depth)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter (for 
which the value is indicated in the knob icon) determines the 
degree to which the resulting volume of each selected Trigger 
Input Jack responds to the strength with which you hit the 
pad. When the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter 
determines the degree to which the resulting volume of each 
selected Trigger Input Source responds to the strength with 
which you hit the pad.
The higher the value, the more the volume changes in 
response to your hitting strength (as shown below).
 
FVelSensOfs (Velocity Sensitivity Offset)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter (for 
which the value is indicated in the knob icon) determines how 
the played velocities of each selected Trigger Input Jack affect 
the actual resulting velocity. When the SOURCE display is 
called up, this parameter determines how the played velocities 
of each selected Trigger Input Source affect the actual result-
ing velocity. 
This lets you raise or lower all velocities by the same 
amount—allowing you to automatically compensate for play-
ing too strongly or too softly. If the result is 0 or less, the 
value is set to 0. If the result is higher than 127, the value is 
set to 127.
 
GSliderSel (Slider Select)
When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter deter-
mines the Slider with which you can adjust the volume of 
each selected Trigger Input Jack. When the SOURCE display 
is called up, this parameter determines the Slider with which 
you can adjust the volume of each selected Trigger Input 
Source.

DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual Programming the Stack/Alternate 
[F3] STK/ALT 
The Stack function lets you play several Drum Voices simultaneously by hitting only a single pad, while the Alternate func-
tion lets you play different Drum Voice(s) alternately. 
In addition, the Stack function lets you play chords by using pitched Voices (called “Normal Voices” in Yamaha synthesizers) 
which can be called up by setting the CH (MIDI channel) to a number ot\
her than 10 (this channel is normally used by the 
DTXTREME III to play the Drum Voice) and assigning the Voice number to the corresponding channel in the display called 
up via [F6] OTHER

 [SF3] MIDI. 
Note that the Stack/Alternate parameters can be set only for each Trigger Input Source. 
 
When the cursor is located on the STEP column:

SOURCE (Trigger Input Source)
 
Determines the Trigger Input Source which triggers the Stack/
Alternate function. You can change the Trigger Input Source 
by hitting the corresponding pad when Input Lock is turned 
off. 
B
 
STEP
 
Determines the step number of the Alternate function. Only 
one Step 001 is preprogrammed in most preset Drum Kits., 
meaning that the Stack/Alternate function is not used. 
For example, each of the STEP “001” lines indicates the pro-
gram when hitting the pad for the first time. Each of the STEP 
“002” lines indicates the program when hitting the pad for the 
second time. Likewise, the rest of the numbers such as “003” 
and “004” are the same as above.
When the number of the existing step is changed, the new step 
number’s line blinks. Pressing the [ENTER/STORE] button 
to fix the step number and stop blinking. 
C
 
[SF1] INSERT
 
Pressing this button inserts a new step at the current cursor 
location and increases the numbers of all the already-pro-
grammed steps after the cursor location by 1. 
D  
[SF2] ADD
 
Pressing this button adds a new step of the same number as 
that at the current cursor location without affecting the num-
bers of the other steps.  E
 
[SF3] DELETE
 
Pressing this button deletes the step at the current cursor loca-
tion. If the step number is gone by deleting a certain step, the 
numbers of all the already-programmed steps after the cursor 
location are decreased by 1. 
F
 
[SF4] CLEAR
 
Pressing this button clears the step at the current cursor loca-
tion without affecting the numbers of the other steps. G

Pressing this button calls up the different display used when 
you enter the Stack program by playing the external MIDI 
keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector. For details, 
see page 87.

You can turn Input Lock on or off by pressing this button. 
When Input Lock is turned on (the [L] indicator appears at the 
top right of the display), the Trigger Input jack

 cannot be 
changed even if you hit any pad. This function is useful when 
you want to adjust the parameters of the current pad (con-
nected to the current Trigger Input jack) while hitting other 
pads.

CH (MIDI channel)
 
Determines the MIDI channel. With the default initial set-
tings, this parameter is set to 10, which is normally used for 
the Drum Voice. If you want to play a pitched Voice, set this 
parameter to a number other than 10. 
NOTE  
• In the internal tone generator of the DTXTREME III, MIDI channel 10 is exclusively used for the Drum Voices. The MIDI mes-
sages generated by your drum performance will be transmitted to the internal tone generator over MIDI channel 10.

Voice will sound only when you hit the pad at velocities 
within the range specified here. 
■Example Stack/Alternate program
Here is an example of how you can use Stack/Alternate. 
In this example, hitting the pad once produces a C major 
chord. Hitting it a second time produces a G major chord, 
and a third hit produces a C major chord again. 
To create the above program, follow the procedure below.

the [SF3] MIDI button to call up the MIDI 
display, allowing you to set the tone gener-
ator settings for each of the MIDI 16 chan-
nels.
